Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Rteetz]

Not too much has changed since the last aerials but they finished putting in the pieces to the one side of Alien Swirling Saucers.

Maybe I didn't notice this before, but I think the path of the coaster is becoming more established to the right of the load area.

Quick! Someone get a pic! We have it laid down this is not a drill! Repeat this is not a drill

Only a year and a half after it was announced as well...erm go Disney

Meanwhile Seaworld stuck up 200ft Mako within a year

Unfortunately, the only good view of it right now is from the parking garage. Probably won't see pics until the next aerial shots come out.

When SeaWorld can do better that's really quite troubling.

SeaWorld? Six Flags gets coasters up in the off season.

I've been to a Six Flags. Not really itching to go back.

I am in no way defending Disney's pace here--this should be opening THIS summer--but comparing a Disney coaster project to Six Flags or Sea World plopping a coaster down is unfair.

Granted I would find our schedule more reasonable if we were still getting those trenches.

If Slinky were a coaster on the scale of something like Everest I'd be more inclined to agree.

Disney is plopping down a coaster.

Part of me wonders if they purposely delayed it to spread out marketing and focus on Animal Kingdom for 2017.

After it was announced, I know the predominant rumour was they Toy Story would start being built at the new fiscal year (October 2015) for a 2017 opening. Fiscal year came and went as they dragged their feet.
