The barn is probably just a themed front for a larger store.

Yes, I have almost zero doubt it is a store. The question is, is it also the exit for TSMM.

It very well could be. . given the current layout of the existing TSMM track, I would think its new exit would have to loop around that end of the building, and Disney wouldn't pass up the opportunity for it to drop right into a store.

The complaining is nothing unusual. It's what happens here. Complain that Disney does nothing, then complain about what they do announce, then complain about how long it takes to build, then complain that it doesn't look exactly like the concept art and finally once it opens complain about long lines or the ride breaking down or gaps in theme. If all else fails complain about Brazilian tourists, FP+ or the weight of the average guest. And of course don't forget to complain about the Pixie Dusters who just accept everything Disney does and refuse to be miserable.
I just caught you up of several years of postings. Welcome
SO very TRUE.
In fact, not only caught up, but a perfect predictor of the next couple of years of threads like this in particular. I'm thinking I will just set my alarm for two years from now, and check back in this thread then- see if anything real is being discussed since construction should have begun (save myself a lot of headache).

Gotcha. I've never been to IOA, and wasn't aware something like that existed already. Makes sense.

So, considering where Toy Story Mania's entrance is in the concept art, would this be taking the place of Animation Courtyard?

I doubt it, but you never know. I've been told this will all go behind TSMM, but up next to where Animation Courtyard is.

I think it's more towards the area behind the TSMM building where the backlot tour used to take you.
The entrance to the land however could be where little mermaid is, though my guess would be closer to OMD.

It might go down that far, or it might come out where Jack Sparrow used to be.

Cali Screamin is awesome, and RnRC is great. They aren't groundbreaking or super thrilling like the huge coasters at Cedar Point or (name other park with big coasters here) but they are great for what they are.

Well, the problem is they don't like 6 flags exposed steel coasters unless they are true to theme. Yes, mountains enable you to keep theme so they work well for Disney but there are cases where you don't need a mountain to keep theme. I think a backyard play track does a good job at keeping theme and can be exposed. We'll see as more concept art comes out, but I'm hoping for a nice long ride through some scenic toy adventures, it does not have to have a high thrill level but keep me entertained with some great themes and I'll be happy. Keep it true to the way kids build this stuff with supports being toy boxes, tinker toys and other random parts and it'll be great for the whole family.

sorry to quote myself, I would have preferred a MI door coaster but I'm not knocking this.

Ugh, you know what, I was right to avoid the threads after the announcements. Same agendas being pushed by the same people, hyperbole abounding, overstatements, arguing. Just another day in the News and Rumors section...
IMO, the Slinky Dog coaster, from the concept art, looks well themed. A Hot Wheels / K'nex coaster built in the back yard of a young child who dug trenches, set up blocks and other things for the coaster to go around. Exposed track makes sense in this respect. Somehow hiding the track would make less sense.
Does it make sense to give Toy Story it's own land? Sure! It's not "one movie", it's 3 (soon to be 4) movies, plus various shorts. It is not a land based on a movie, but one based on an entire mythology, a series of stories that have been told for 20 years. There are adults now who have literally grown up with the toys in Toy Story, not through one movie but a series of them. It makes as much sense to make a land out of Toy Story as it does any other property.
This land will most likely be a nice addition to a park sorely lacking in attractions for younger children.

Younger children that can ride a launch coaster, plus one real attraction with no height limits for kids.
If this is all they are adding for the younger set, then I don't think they have learned their lesson. I don't need kiddie rides, but the park does. Meet and greets only go so far, plus a lot of parents hate them.
