perhaps they're talking about variety.
Every park seems to have some sort of water ride (be boats or flumes). Except DHS.

I think by water ride, most people are meaning "boat ride" (POTC type attraction), but I could be wrong.

That I agree with and get... it is the soak me water ride that I don't think this park needs..

DHS needs a greater number of variety of ride. I don't think any particular type of ride is needed. I don't really see the "need" for a boat ride like POTC or IASW over any other type of dark ride mechanism (the park could use more dark rides, mind you, but there's no reason a boat ride would be more beneficial than, say, an omnimover).
OTOH, if people are suggesting the park would benefit form a water ride that (intentionally -- sorry MK's POTC) gets you wet for the cooling effect, I think there is an argument there to be made. A park doesn't have to have such a ride, but given the hot Florida sun, they are often popular and certainly would diversify the offerings. Then again, Epcot doesn't have any rides like that either.

I guess, in a way to tie it into the theme, they could make a "splash"/log-type ride and have it look like a giant Slip and Slide. The boats/logs could just be themed to look like different toys that would be pushed along. I'm not sure how well that would work, but it's the only idea I can come up with.

If a person in the land is intended to be the same size as a Barbie doll then the flume would be 20 feet thick.

I think it could work.

If they feel like the park needs a new ride in the future a Lincoln log flume ride would be epic. Maybe if they have 3 boats loading at the sametime one of them gets you soaked like Splash Mountain, while the other two don't, and it could depend on weather. Ex. 90 degree sunny day all three could be "soaked version" while in the winter high 50's day all could be possibility of getting slightly wet like Pirates. A 60 degree day could be 1 soaked etc.

You obviously need Andy's water log flume builder set.

Not that I think Toy Story Land necessarily needs a water ride, but there is something water-themed in the series.

They could do with a ride on the back of a certain yellow pickup in the pouring rain. Or, would that would be too much like the tram ride in from the parking lot during those Florida downpours?

Like I have said for a while now I think a Pizza Planet ride needs to arrive at HWS. Though I think all indoors would be the best option as you can manipulate the environment to always night etc.They could do with a ride on the back of a certain yellow pickup in the pouring rain.

Why a water ride in DHS? Florida in August.

It gets murderously hot, especially in the concrete jungle that is DHS.

But @mandstaft is wondering why we need a water ride in DHS? Does he know that the park is a concrete jungle?

No, he's answering the other posters who posed that question by remarking about how hot that park gets in the summer.

Why not do an indoor Pizza Planet chase rollercoaster, like the scene at the climax of Toy Story 2, when Buzz and the other toys are racing to the Airport in a Pizza Planet truck? I don't know where that would fit, though. Maybe a half Pizza Planet restaurant, half Pizza Planet ride ...?

I'm sorry. That cannot happen. They don't have the room.
