Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ToTBellHop]

Hi @MansionButler84! It's totally worth it, though.

Okay so like, where is the Toy Story Land update? I wish we would have gotten a opening date or something for this -- out of all of the lands, this is the one I want to know about the most.

Summer '18.

I just got back froM my first trip to HKDL. TSL there can easily be described as cute .... but forgetable. I do wish RC Racer was also added to DHS Version of TSL.

I'm going to WDW in 18 days. I'll try to snap some photos.

Thanks for the aerial pic! What is going in the lower left hand corner? Did someone say that was backstage area? Seems like a lot of space for two attractions....I keep hoping we get a few more things added to this area.

Yes, that is a backstage building that is staying for now, that land won't be part of TSL or SWL.

There's also the empty space above it though (behind Aliens), which seems like it should have something...Is that just going to be used for backstage or the coaster?

According to the concept art the coaster will go back there.

What is the parking deck was painted sky blue with toy story style cartoon clouds? Could work.

Also I wish we were getting an RC Racer. It's a simple but still fun ride. And the park needs the capacity.

What capacity? That ride has god-awful capacity and it's the reason we are getting a real roller coaster. A single car, single train coaster that can only see a few hundred guests on a good hour (no wheelchairs!) will not work when DHS is seeing 11 million (or more) guests once SWL opens.

Anyone know how they are going to hide that parking structure behind the slinky dog coaster maintenance building?

True, but (and I think this is what OP meant) it would still be nice to get it on top of what we already are as that would make capacity greater.
And I mean, if they really cared about capacity like they should, we wouldn't be getting what we are in the first place. It should be a large dark ride in place of the coaster really.

We were discussing this in another thread. There isn't much space between the coaster and the garage to build something to hide it, and I don't think they could play trees dense enough in that space. I think they may cover the whole side of the parking structure with a background mural of some sort and then put some trees in front of it.

This has been one of the biggest questions I've had since this project was announced and it was determined where TSL would go. Even if they do a big mural and some trees, I can't help but think it will still stand out and be an eyes sore. It's just so dang big and so close to TSL. TDO must really need/use that structure for them to have kept it.

I can't imagine the RC racer Swinging ship esque ride would be that expensive to build nor would it take up that much space. I certainly wouldn't be opposed for that being thrown in, 800 people an hour is helpful, while admittedly not ideal.

ok trees don't work. This is a land where you are supposed to be toy sized in his back yard. The trees would have to be HUGE to keep the effect going. My guess will be some kind of fake wall, maybe to look like fence or some such?

So 3 rides - not 4 - is the better solution?

I wish we were getting a dark ride
