Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[DinoInstitute]

The point is that a "Pixar" themed area could be more diverse, dynamic and flexible with adding or changing attractions than a single IP land. When you do a single IP, land, you are more constrained and dependent on the popularity of that one IP. When you have a land with multiple diverse IPs, then it doesn't matter if one of the attractions has an IP that falls out of favor -- it's easy to not fret about one ride, plus it is easier to re-theme one if necessary. And multiple IP lands are more likely to have wider appeal since there are different things being featured.

A more generic land also allows for much more rapid integration of future new IPs.

I think the best way to do it would be to have a collection of mini-lands based around Pixar so that you still get the immersive feel, but get to experience a lot of Pixar IPs.

Kind of like a Pixar "fantasyland"?

Yeah I suppose that would be a way to put it

The weenie could be the Pizza Planet truck that appears in everything!

Have you noticed that Pam has been pretty quiet lately on the forums?

I'm back. I took a break.

No. I just took a break.

I wish though. I may go back to Disneyland in November.

Well, welcome back.

Do you go to WDW or DL more?

Well, welcome back.

Thanks!

I would be cool with parachute drop coming replacing the coaster if we also get a nice dark ride with it replacing the coaster too.

I regrettably just look up that attraction and I have no words.

I feel your pain!

It's fun to ride. Just too short.
And low capacity.
And long lines.
And weather dependant.
And..... ugly.

If it's anything like Jumpin' Jellyfish then no thank you

Oh, come on. Studios Paris is now, due to recent closures stateside, leaps and bounds above the Stateside park...

I can't wait to go!

I'll say this - if they added the parachute ride ON TOP OF the coaster and spinner, I wouldn't mind too much.

Except it would probably be seen from SWL.

True - although won't the rock work make SWL fairly self contained much like Diagon?

 

[DinoInstitute]

I don't think the parachute ride is really that tall though, right? If it's all the way at the other end of the land I doubt it would be visible.
