Thanks for the outline. I didn't realize WDW rivers of America took up that much real estate. I'm surprised management hasn't drained the area to expand. Now, Splash and Big Thunder could fit in the 12 acres - two E-tickets.
Safe to assume the hiatus will coincide with my trip 1/7-1/18?
We are talking about Toy Story Land, right?
No, it's not, the only new TSL rides are the Slinky Dog coaster and the Alien whip ride.
Yes, at least that is what I think we were talking about. I agree that nothing else is happening right now or perhaps even in the near future, but, unless I misunderstood something the reply was "nothing will be added" to a question connected to the size of the space and the possibility that at some perhaps distant point, something might be added. I say that it is possible if the demand exists. So if your reply meant to say "nothing will be added in this particular cycle" then I would agree and apologize.
Sorry we misunderstood each other. Nothing more will be added due to the layout and space availability of the new land. The design is not very efficient with space. To add, something else outside of the land will need to be removed. But at least there's a DVC kiosk.
4 new possible additions on the table and 2 that are likely :")??
As always. And control of it too.
Or maybe the coaster load/unload building and the second launch station for the coaster ???
Nope. It's the foundation for the hyper spinner.
There certainly is. Some surprised even me.
In DCS, TSMM is "upscale" carnival games set in a "upscale" midway; thematically, it's perfect. In DHS, it's always been let's put a popular ride "here", outside of any park context. By building a mini-land around it, it at least gives it more context.
Actually, if the whole immersion "gimmick" is that guests are shurnk to the size of Andy's toys, have "life sized" Woody, Buzz, Jessie, etc, fit's perfectly. What DOESN'T fit is a 20 foot tall statue of the toys. A 15' long sneaker laying around would actually add to the theme...
In the other TSLs at least, the scale is that people are shrunk down to the size of Green Army men, which are smaller than the other main toys. So the statues, while kind of weird, do in fact fit more than normal characters would.
The problem is just about any coaster will have a lot of "unused" land around and under it - unless it's designed as a highly compact coaster such as the various indoor coasters and PW (which is really just a large carnival midway ride). Kumba at BGT is an exception where they did an very good job of integrating into the park with various pathways - and even parts of attractions under it (and to a lesser extent Alpengeist at BGW). But look at just about any coaster in any park, and there's a lot of ground that is not available for other development.
Then maybe they should be building something else...
