Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

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

Yeah this is pretty much my feeling. I'm really not as completely and utterly against parachute drop as others are here. That said, I would rather have no parachute in exchange for a slinky of the original-edition quality. Despite a 4th attraction in parachute, I think with a lot of half hearted attractions would be a bit more underwhelming.

But, like most of us have said repeatedly, none of these options are really ideal. The land needs a redesign.

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

It should but I don't think anyone knows for sure how tall the surrounding rock will be. There could be those tall towers here and there but I'm thinking about the berm.

 

[marni1971]

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.

80ft says yes.

It's also bulky.

IF the Army Men Parachute Drop arrives in the US, I'd be very curious to know if it shows up in Shanghai too.

 

[brb1006]

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

 

[MagicHappens1971]

There's a six flags in Paris?

 

[DinoInstitute]

80ft says yes.

It's also bulky.

Oh, interesting. For some reason based solely on online pictures/videos I wouldn't have guessed it would be much more than half that.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

Please tell me the parachute isn't coming to DHS.

I am still holding out hope for this land. When it was originally shown it was cool and looked like a fun ride for families that this park needs bad! With all the cuts now who knows. This park needs rides lots and lots of rides and all age rides for the families. It needs attractions and shows and pretty much everything.

This park needs to get to 14-18 experiences or Star Wars land will be miserable

I think it's weird that we will finally see a flat ride at DHS.

 

[Pam Hates Penguins]

Except it would probably be seen from SWL.

Forget about that. I'm worried SWL will be visible from TSL and other parts of the park..

I think it finally needs to break the barrier of having less than 10 rides. 15 could be good with shows thrown in as well.

I like me a good show or two.

I want to be able to count the rides on my hands without having any fingers left over. Is that too much to ask?

With 12 acres given to TSL, Disney should take attractions from Paris and Hong Kong lands and call it a day.

No. Not really. All the other parks have more than 10.

11 acres.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

11 acres.

Quick way to get 8 rides up and running

 

[Goofyernmost]

To be fair, DHS never had a lot of rides. They were mostly shows. There was Star Tours, GMR, and the riding part of the backlot tour. ToT and RnRC came later on, so really they still have more now then there were when DHS opened.
