Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ToTBellHop]

Is this time still what we think it will be, the track seems huge, but maybe 50secs in a long time.

50 sec seems too quick. It would require higher average speed than I'd expect.

 

[dreamscometrue]

I've heard no stop before the first launch. A short hold before second launch.

Approx. 50 secs. ride time.

I know this video is of the original layout with the lift hill (D23 2015), but even knocking a 'whopping' 30-40 sec. off the estimated ride time of 1:48, brings it in at 1min. and 10 sec. Doesn't it seem more likely that the time will be closer to that, even with the modified design?

 

[Hatbox Ghostbuster]

I don't think that's likely. They'll come to their own decision.... solely based on YouTube videos.

Consider that option E

Another look at Slinky Dog on a different part of the track apparently

Look at us arguing like sorority girls over just how short something is.

Let's see what Slinky Dog can do with his length once fully matured.

Eeeewww.

I hope there is something that will cover the wheel assemblies.

I'm just happy that the cars are thick.

It's not the size of the coaster train, it's what it does on the track

Oh, yeah, otherwise it will spoil it for all of the children. I can see the little ones crying now: 'That's not a real slinky dog!'

Nah, the children will be too busy with their tape measures trying to determine if everything is to scale.

Nope.. they won't have time for that either.... they'll be searching for the Pizza Planet restaurant...

As someone who has previously stated I'm only here for the construction photos, I think the back and forth has been hilarious. It's even better since its done mostly by people who will either:

A) Never actually set foot in TSL...
B) Set foot in TSL, but never tell anyone...
C) Set foot in TSL, actually enjoy themselves, but keep up the front that Disney let them down...
or
D) Obsessively watch ALL the walk-thru and ride-thru videos, and uphold some irrelevant blogger's opinion as their own...

you missed a few options but whatever floats your boat

Is this a joke related to size vs how you use it ?

 

[Casper Gutman]

Nah, it's necessary to dismiss any opinions that aren't overwhelmingly and single-mindedly favorable towards Disney by attacking the motivations and experience of the speaker. Otherwise, you might have to engage with the opinion on its merits, and that would be terrible.

By the way, the most charming recurring nastiness on these boards is the idea that people who visit WDW more often have more worthy opinions. It really brings a neat class-based element into discussions - I can afford to travel more often then you, and thus my opinions are more valid! (By the way, this isn't unique to the relentlessly pro-Disney faction - some frequent WDW critics deploy a version of it as well.)

And as to the mockery of the notion that gaps in the theming and haphazard scale matters - why did WDW ever worry about detail in the first place? Why bother with forced perspective on Main Street, or the careful placement of weenies, or any of the other intricate design techniques Disney used to make the parks FEEL right? Apparently they play no part in the parks' reputation. WDW might as well build a land with all the complexity and nuance of Six Flags - it would be vociferously defended, since thematic coherence and attention to detail don't matter.

Not everyone enjoys my stand-up routines.

I do! That was hilarious! Thanks for the laugh

Some say the girth of the slinky is more important then length, but speed is an important factor. There's some sort of equation, (circumference + distance) x velocity = Z

Bioreconstruct has new aerials

 

[Walter Yensid]

Did anyone see this in Bioreconstruct's aerials? Maybe it was mentioned already but did not see it. Is that possibly a shoe print on the left. side to go along with the theme of guests being the size of toys? Sorry if I missed it.
