It is possible to appreciate both styles of entertainment - I know I do. I think the wide range of experiences is a part of what makes MK so great. I'm a Poly, AKL fan but I still really enjoyed AOA when we stayed their a couple of times with my daughter and her friend.

Slinky Dog is being used in lieu of the the toy's actual coaster train. It is a toy roller coaster providing the experience of riding a roller coaster. The extra pieces of track do not change that the experience is one of riding a roller coaster; they just play up a theoretical different layout that would still be the experience of riding a [toy] roller coaster.

The premise of the ride is in fact simple but I still think the environment looks very nice and will make this an enjoyable experience. Most of the back half of this park has always been ugly IMO with big plain studio buildings, warehouses and random set pieces. These projects are going to make this park look a lot better and the appearance of Disney parks is a huge part of the experience. By the way I think the slinky dog car is the silliest looking part of this ride.

There is no guessing as to the look of the land, it has already been done twice and still doesn't impress.

This will have the all class and style of a "Value" resort at Disney World.

I know there are a fair share of people not enjoying this theming, but as someone said SWL will (imo) knock it out of the park in the theming department. This land is to bring an IP in that kids recognize and enjoy (I.e NOT Aerosmith or Twilight Zone) and do something with the park besides having empty buildings sitting around unused. I was actually sad on my last visit to the Studios because it was a barren, husk of a park. I think/hope they're doing TSL because it's something they can do quick(ish) to start drastically improving this park. If they decided to only focus on SWL everyone would be grumbling about having to wait so long for that. They recognize the park's poor state.

This shouldn't be a justification when building a new land.

Actually it should. It is built for kids. That is the target audience of Disney. Be happy that us as adults enjoy going to the parks but remember who it was built for

Theming is not some limited resource that has to be rationed out to different projects. Even the Toy Story films have a few locations more defined than a messy yard.

You're dead if you only aim for kids.

It was built by a dad for his two grown daughters.

I got bored so I figured I'd take a crack at the 12 acre Toy Story Land plot. Both idea areas are exactly 12 acres:
This option would use the breezeway between Toy story and the former Capt. Jack thing. With this option mermaid and One man's could stay but earful tower would have to go. =(
With this option (the more likely IMO) Mermaid and One man's get bulldozed but Earful tower would remain.

Well yes...my hope is they are able to improve on what I've seen of the other two Toy Story iterations. I never said it is a perfect idea, but I get the reasoning behind it. I much prefer getting something quickly in place than walking through a wasteland. But I will grant you it isn't the most immersive theme out there.

Where is this idea of it being different coming from? The art shows the exact same aesthetic as the Toy Story Playlands.

Not an idea, just a hope. Haha.

It is a hope that seems to be have been rather repeatedly expressed by yourself and others. I just fail to see what it is based on.

I think you fail to understand Disney. This isn't Legoland

That's ridiculous! Who said that?
I'm just wondering where are all those people that claimed Disney doesn't do bare coasters that interact with guests (ala Hulk) with no "real" theme, because boy does that Slinky coaster look like it's bare and interacting with the surrounding area.
