Yeah, I'm confused by this too. They had no problem just opening the Woody version in Shanghai.

Mhmm. Which I pegged as being 'alright'. Especially since the barrier of entry is higher, Mine Train will still take the cake.

Plus, I have a feeling that a lot more people will balk at riding TRON than do Mine Train. It will be a *significant* step up in terms of thrills from the rest of the park. Rock'n'Rollercoaster next to Tower of Terror this ain't.

To paraphrase Mystery Science Theater 3000, "Slinky Dog Dash: world's fastest ride- within a fair league".

It is. Incredibly lit.Such a beautiful park at night.

I agree, and those rides appeal more to young adults, who Disney rarely caters to.
I think it would be cool to really take building the land into the next level and have more about the history of Sheriff Woody and the Woody's Roundup Show. (which they kinda have in Shanghai, with the whole "Western Town" area, which yes is like a cartoon version of Frontierland but still adds to the story.
Also there is a whole "world" they created for the Buzz Lightyear TV show that they could dive into. How about a Princess Mira Nova/Evil Emperor Zurg meet and greet? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buzz_Lightyear_of_Star_Command
Could you give the time signature in the video where they say that. I can't find it.
Anyways... According to DSNY, the speed of Slinky will be about 30 mph; and then comparing that to the speed of 7DMT at 32 (wiki says 34) and SpaceMt at 28.
Yes, I am aware of the date of summer, but schools are out in May in the south. Last year, Pandora opened around Memorial Day, which seems to fit the summer season better...

Yes, it is opening later than originally planned.
Anyone know if there are plans to develop costumed characters of the Aliens, for park roaming or meet and greets? Is that happening?
Unrelated: Is it too late to make a suggestion? I'm thinking this land could use some serious filler like kinetics and interactivity to round out the experience. I'm not seeing much "there" in regards to photo-ops or guest interactive elements. Give me a giant Magic 8-ball that requires strength and the willingness of strangers working together to flip it upside down revealing the fortune. Or how about a massive Etch-a-Sketch that randomly "draws" scenes when turning it's knobs. What will it draw next? Let's rotate the knobs and see! It's Andy's backyard right? How about a leaky sprinkler head that allows guests to cool off on a hot day? What about sounds... Will there be dogs barking, the sounds of lawnmowers humming in the distance? I hope they can find a way to amp up the feels...
IDK. I think this land needs more stuff. Interactives and kinetics to give it some life. It's very sterile. The inanimate statues do little to help, IMO.
Side note: Pandora has a fog-farting musical plant...

It's typical panic that we saw during DCA 1.0 where they rushed into development A Bugs Land because there wasn't enough for little kids to do. Here they wasted a lot of land for a substandard coaster and Mater's Junkyard Jamboree spinner. Even A Bugs Land had more interactivity than this place has with it's leaky water hose. Disney World guests deserve something more from this land.
I've only seen pictures and videos of all the TS Lands. And the one in DHS looks, based on pictures, to be a big step up from the others. Precisely because it is so big and they're surrounding it with giant fences and it's filled with tons more props.
But, until you or I see the finished product in person... opinions at this point could wind up to be very, very off.

Just dawned on me WDW could take the giant Water Hose from DCA Bugs Land and add to WDW TSL.. Even with no water coming from it the prop could be cool.

Well they do exist at Disney On Ice shows.
Seeing the effect Minions has over at Universal I'm kinda surprised these guys aren't already out and about.
