DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[afar28]

What theme does the cup spinner have? Buzz? Also what land does this replace?

It will go in the area behind TSMM most likely.

Expanded (probably updated with TS4 characters) TSMM, Martian Men family ride and Slinky Dog coaster. Awesome. And we all thought it was just going to be a copy of Toy Story Playland. Bravo Disney!

 

[TalkingHead]

No...She said the new Toy Story Land will be on the same level.

Right. And I'm Mickey Mouse.

No Monsters inc door coaster though this could have meant a relocation of the laugh floor, finally!! Oh well...

Is the green building on the left a Pizza Planet? Are we getting a (legitimate) Pizza Planet?

 

[TalkingHead]

Same level of theming she said.

Yeah, nothing in that concept art equals the mountains in Cars Land, but I guess "same level of theming" can be interpreted any number of ways.

 

[orlando678-]

I think thats the spinner..

 

[Horizons1]

So this is their new Tower of Terror? What a letdown.

So this is their new Tower of Terror? What a letdown.

Star Wars will be the area to blow us away. This part will be for added capacity/family friendly rides

 

[Tom Morrow]

Well, at least with one big swoop, they finally addressed the complaints we've had for years of them not doing anything.

When this, Star Wars land, Disney Springs, and Avatar are finished, that leaves only Epcot that needs love.

?

Don't you recall back in the early 2000s Disney brought the Tower of Terror to every resort it could in hopes of patching a park's problems?

Same deal here, just swap TOT with TSP. They had every chance to bring Cars Land here and they botch it with the cheap route.

The Buzz ride will likely be similar to either Mater or the new Luigi ride from Carsland

it dont look half as cheeky as hong kongs.
i can dig it. a nice complement to SW.

:edit: could do some great night time lighting here. Disney don't screw it up.

 

[danlb_2000]

Mad Tea party with a Toy Story overlay :/

I am thinking either Mater's ride system or the ride system for the Lugi's Flying Tires replacement.

Official release from the Disney blog:

The reimagining of Disney’s Hollywood Studios will take guests to infinity and beyond, allowing them to step into the worlds of their favorite films, starting with the all-new 11-acre Toy Story Land. Guests will become part of the adventurous outdoors of Andy’s backyard, including two new Disney Parks attractions and one expanded favorite.

Family-friendly roller coaster – This coaster will zip and zoom, plunge and coast as it takes guests on a thrilling, toy-filled adventure throughout the new land on the back of Slinky Dog.

Alien saucers attraction – The famous little green aliens from the movie will take guests around for a spin in their very own flying saucers.

Toy Story Mania! – Guests glide into the Toy Story Midway Games Play Set and take aim at 3D objects in a variety of fast-paced games, with an expansion that adds an additional track to this popular attraction.

It actually looks kinda weird that there are only two rides there, i mean the land looks so wide.

 

[matt9112]

guys its a land based on children toys...Jesus what theming do you want? it looks very realistic to the cue of what it represents.....sorry if toy story isn't the tower of terror...its a child's bedroom....get over it.
