I've just returned from Hong Kong, and i have to admit the Toy Story Land there was really cheap and bad.
Don't associate Disney with CHEAP, but this was just so bad it wouldn't have looked out of place in a Six Flags parks - themeing was so terrible. It doesn't seem much different from the Paris version either.
Not a good sign.

This isn't really news. Everyone is pretty much aware the toy story playland in HKD is horrible.

TSL is going to be a wet fart between Pandora and SWL.

Well I don't think anyone is expecting it to come anywhere near that level.
It's more the waste of land that sucks. Not everything needs to be SWL or Pandora, but TSL is just going to end up being something that is regretted down the line.
sad thing is it doesnt add much capacity to a park that desperately needs more capacity
Not quite the words I'd have used but yes.

It's also very bad and cheap in Paris too. So why are the repeating the same mistake three times? Is 'CHEAP' the mitigating factor ?

This. It's one thing to build a "cheap" land, but there should at least be more than two height restricted rides (and I doubt either will have all that good capacity either). For all the land they are using, there should have been like 4 rides added.
i would guess that there is more capacity at toy story play land in Paris than what they are doing here
Standby went into and used the old line.
Also had no merge which suggests FP uses just the new track at the moment.
That's as of half an hour ago. I dare say it'll be an ops thing as we move forward.

As of now, my expectations are about as low as they could possibly be. Honestly, if DHS weren't in such a need for more attractions, particularly family-friendly ones (though I would argue rides like ToT and RnRC are family-friendly), I would be perfectly fine if we didn't get this land at all.

If you read this board, most posters in the rumors area love discussing what they perceive as wrong with what Disney is doing. Why be filled with despair based on speculation? Just enjoy the back and forth discussion, and when it opens and you try it, then your feelings will be based on fact.

Supposedly DHSs version is different. And it does look different according to the concept art, even with the changes. The question I guess is how much different will it be. Enough to not be lame? We will see.

Yes and no. I think yes, it's taking too long, but they waited too long to clear out the BLT before announcing TSL. If all of the ground had already been leveled then yes it may have been able to open this fall, if they had already started building things off site. I'm no expert on construction but just my opinion

Yes and Yes. The BLT closed in september of 2014. The decision to move forward on that should have resulted in immediate construction afterward. This land is literally one outdoor bare bones coaster and a spinner ride. Therefore yes it is a damn shame they decided to not move a spec of dirt and instead close the attraction simply to save a buck or two in the meantime while they are still twiddling their fingers. 2 Years is still being generous a land of this caliber imo shouldn't take that long. Demo should have been done things should have gone vertical at this stage. Yet look at where we are.
