Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[G00fyDad]

No it isn't I'm just saying maybe if you chat with a cm or email them it might happen

I see your point now, but I doubt that will ever happen. Everyone I know has complained to Disney about it either to a CM directly or sent letters/emails about this. It is a very stupid way to design this attraction but they don't seem to care.

Returning to the specifics of the design, I think the biggest weakness of other "you become small" lands is their use of plants. TSPL and "a bug's land" use bamboo (and other recognizable plants) to represent grass. The problem is, they just look like bamboo, etc. In fact, I didn't even notice that they were supposed to be grass, etc., until I read that somewhere. TSL looks like it'll be the most involved of the "you become small" lands built thus far. Will they finally resolve this issue, perhaps building upon the "Honey I..." movie set idea of actually constructing giant "grass," etc.?

Also, does anyone think this construction will require cranes, or is it of a type that will not require them, thus not messing up Hollywood Blvd. sight lines?

Its a big space I'm seeing a 2019 opening

Firstly that map isn't accurate the orange space is a lot more than 11 acres that this going in. and strays off to places where TSL isn't going.

If for nothing else, the construction will require cranes to assemble the coaster.

There will no doubt be cranes to install the coaster tracks, and they will likely be visible from other portions of the park. But the vertical build in TSL will be nowhere as major as Avatar or SWL, so they will probably not be as much of a presence.

Are they gonna move the Buzz ride at MK to here?

No....

Yes. It's part of a new branding scheme. They're also moving Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan, Little Mermaid, and The Seas together as part of "Omnimover Land".

How do you get to muppet courtyard? Echo Lake?

Yes - the park is essentially a horseshoe on that side.

Surprised no one has mentioned that the ravines for the Slinky Dog coaster are missing from the concept art on the walls. Hopefully they weren't cut from the design.

It was discussed, in the Star Wars Land thread, so much for staying on topic.

The lift hill is gone along with some theming elements. And they also cut the restrooms.

And now two launches and the land blends into Star Wars Land.

Disney don't cut the mater re-skin

So lost some detail it seems but gained a second lunch. Blahh. I need to stop looking at concept art. Everything always changes. Never an accurate representation.
