Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

I expect Slinky will be as tame as they can possibly make it.

A shame, but at least it isn't going around in a big circle like the other Slinky's do ...

Even tame I still wouldn't necessarily equate this with a "kiddie coaster", but I guess that's what it will be.

Just when looking at the two rides we're getting they just don't scream "kiddie" to me. A-S-S whips you around and a coaster is still a coaster.

All roller-coasters at Disney World are tame except Rocking Rollercoaster, even Expedition Everest can be argued to be tame but this is just my opinion.

And that is what makes it Disney. Fun, but, not extreme. Anyone that has to have heart stopping thrills there are many other places available for that. I don't go to them, I do go to Disney because I don't have to re-swallow my stomach every few minutes to have a good time.

I agree. I think the best way to describe it is as kid friendly. "Kiddie" makes it sound like they're only rides for kids which clearly isn't true.

It is not a kiddie coaster and it will be more intense than the 7DMT.

Between kiddie and family coasters lives the junior coaster. 7DMT is a good ballpark. Just without the cool theming.

I’m sure DPB will pretend Slink is an E ticket.

Maybe judging from a child's perspective... a Kid-E ride!

My almost-5-year-old boys are SUPER PSYCHED for Slink. I think it’ll be fun enough and I’ll be thankful for something to do at DHS.

 

[RSoxNo1]

I suspect anyone going into Slinky Dog Dash expecting it to be an E-ticket will be disappointed. It looks like a solid to good C-ticket to below average D-ticket to me.

As a point of reference I'd put Mine Train as a solid D-ticket.

I predict that Slinky may possibly be some 5 year old boys favorite ride at WDW.

I don’t know that I ever stopped being a 5-y-o boy.

We are going the first week in may. My daughter is a HUGE Toy Story fan. I am really hoping that they do some soft openings when we are there. Judging on past rides/lands, how many weeks before the 'actual' opening do they do the soft openings? Is it only on weekends, or during the weekdays too?

The site that isn’t mentioned is reporting that the third track of TSMM is closed to accommodate construction for the new line from the TSL side

I was in DHS a little earlier on. I had no idea what was going on, the line was a mess with it looping around outside on both sides of Pixar Place, before entering a different entrance over in soundstage one.

The site is also reporting that the whole attraction will close in a few weeks... Hope it's open again for my trip in April, otherwise there will be very little to do at the Studios....

Odd that they would need to close the whole attraction. I could understand walling off some of the queue but why would they need to close the whole thing?

I have a FP for Toy Story Feb. 10. Other's have FP through beginning of March. I don't know that it will close entirely before then. Maybe they'll reopen 3 before closing tracks 1 and 2. I realize they could still close it even with FP scheduled but if they already know it's closing with in the next couple of weeks you'd think they would not allow FP at all.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Midway Mania closes but I’d expect the closure to be brief.

 

[marni1971]

There’s some (current) standby line reconfiguration to be done and some electrical work.... I’d also be surprised if it was a lengthy closure.

 

[Winter]

I swear if they close Midway Mania while I'm there next march........
