Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[JorgeBrito18]

Huh, the base of the supports for Slinky Dog look to have a blue plastic-y piece to them. This isn't there now and wasn't on the original concept art.

Compare that to the original art:

They probably will add them when it's all said and done to give it more detail

It'd be nice if Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land got passholder previews like Pandora did. I hope they do. It was nice to explore the land with minimal people and get quickly onto the rides.

lol you didn't wait an hour sitting on the floor on day one did you? but i still loved it!

 

[matt9112]

If you really think that we have any choice, please elaborate! Also I would be inclined to wait until they are done before I got all bent out of shape about whether or not it is a bare steel coaster. Even if it is how it blends in with the rest of the land is as important as a bunch of plastic toy pieces.

we can march on Burbank! lol

LOL no, luckily I didn't have to wait too long in the FOP line, but once I got into the bike seat there seemed to be an issue so we had to be moved to a new chamber, go through the entire two pre-shows again, and wait forever in the second chamber before you go to the link seats. It took double of what it should but it was worth it. Ride was amazing.

How people reacted when they heard of the Summer 2018 opening...

Umm, no. I thought you have to be kidding me that it is going to take that long. This should be open by Christmas.

ETA Christmas 2017, in case I wasn't clear.

 

[LieutLaww]

It has always been slated as 2018 they just never said when.

 

[PizzaPlanet]

As I read the Pixar Pier thread, I thought to myself, "Thank god we're getting Toy Story Land instead of that mess".

Now that's something I'd never thought I would say.

"Andy has set up his boardwalk playset in the backyard..."

so what going to happen to Pixar place now that toy storyland is being built?

Will probably become back stage space.

well that would look kinda awkward on the map if that took place

Not really, essentially the path along that side of the park get's pushed out to the other side of TSMM. What is now Pixar Place will probably be shown as just trees on the map.

They won't put it on the map, just like every other backstage area.

 

[setsurinvich]

I wonder if Disney would be doing anything with animation courtyard as well after star wars land is built

Launch Bay has to go at that point so I would guess yes

 

[Clowd Nyne]

With summer 2018 any chance there would be soft openings for resort guests in early may?

 

[danlb_2000]

It's possible.

 

[Kman101]

I wouldn't at all be surprised if it followed what they did with Pandora. Cast member previews and AP/DVC previews for most of May and opening the land around Memorial Day. But I'm just guessing.

 

[Dan Deesnee]

Yeah i'm getting a bit worried, our next trip is scheduled for early June 2018...here's to hoping it's open before that.

 

[djkidkaz]

The slinky coaster is completely connected now. The last piece of track was added yesterday.
