Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Fox&Hound]

I think this looks AWESOME! I love all the cute little details and bright colors. Does this mean that we will get Jesse and Rex (etc) added as theming elements around the coaster or is their artistic license for just the model?

It’s the Pizza Planet Play Set! Anything and everything can be a toy!

That seems to be what's going on here - "Andy plays with toys that happen to look exactly like complex theme park attractions so it makes sense that the giant versions just look like theme park attractions! It's a coherent theme!"

It is kind of amazing that, in multiple attempts, WDW has never gotten something that actually looks like the Pizza Planet in the movie.

And just to nitpick - why is there a Pizza Planet arch on the pathway leading to the QS spot? Pizza Planet is a full size building!

That is the queue to the alien ride. QS building is accross the path.

Are any of the characters shown supposed to have movement of any kind? For example, the Jesse and Rex situated between the tracks of Slinky Dog Dash.

There some "barrel of monkeys" in front of the large fence on the side -- is that a M&G area?

Edit:

 

[discos]

I've been curious about how they were planning on hiding the soundstage look of the TSMM building and by the looks of the model it appears the fence thats blocking the parking will also be used against the soundstage building

Blog Mickey has some really good pictures..

I like the foot print details. This picture also shows that the access road behind TSMM will be maintained.

The new Toy Story Mania entrance still has "Midway" on it.

Based on the model from one mans dream you can see the slinky dog dash has 9 slots for guests, im not sure if you can get more than one person in each slot or not im assuming so? Also you can see that 3 ride vechiles are out at the same time so that would infer at least 27 people at a time, im not sure the duration of the ride time.. Just trying to figure out ride times, and ride capacity.

18 guests per train.

18 guests per train.

Just what the model shows: four cars of four with two in the tail section. Head section has no riders.

Yes, I mentioned this a while ago. With the new entrance bisecting the existing road this one has to be included to add / remove TSMM vehicles from the original maintenance bay.

hopefully this transition is better than it appears in the picture above.

So the real question is... WHERE THE HE!_!_ IS MR. POTATO HEAD?

Three on the track and I'd assume one in the load station, maybe one in the unload as well. That'd be four or five.

But I wouldn't assume the vehicles were positioned accurately on the model.

I'm guessing he'll be in the red entrance building to TSMM shown here

They have a lot of trees to plant!

They have a lot of trees to plant!

Hopefully they plant as much as is shown in the model.

Maybe Mr Potato Head is chilling with Luxo the lamp. Is he still up there?

Toy Story Midway Mania! has always included the premise of Andy having a midway game toy set.

Toy Story Midway Mania! has always included the premise of Andy having a midway game toy set.

His point is that they aren't getting rid of the word "Midway" from the name.

Imagineering wanted the name to be Toy Story Midway Mania, but Marketing wanted it to be Toy Story Mania, and so the two departments have called it a different name ever since. A real petty fight which I'm sure you're aware of. Tokyo's version, which opened four years later in 2012, is simply Toy Story Mania both on signs and in advertisements. So it seems marketing has been gaining ground, and the concern was that they'd win over the new signage in TSL.
