Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[yensidtlaw1969]

You must be lucky. Or maybe we’re not describing the same area. I was referring to the entire space including the area under the building, not just the uncovered area.

I was referring to any part of the extended queue, I've only ever been ushered into "onstage" areas at Gringotts.

I don't think of myself as lucky, but maybe that's where my good luck has been going this whole time and I just never knew any better.

Everyone associated with this land, and the other Toy Story Lands around the world needs to hang their head in shame and never work on anything for Disney again.

hades eye roll

Will the brown building in the TMM queue be painted or hidden by trees?

Gringott's extended queue is still miles above ANYTHING at Cedar Point. God help you if you get stuck in this cow pen...

Still though I would even take a simple cave queue down in the depths of the bank area. There was so much more they could have done, heck I would even take JAWS's old extended queue...

I've been in that queue under Raptor. Oy. Two hours later...

Inception is an enormously popular and widely-referenced and influential movie that came out the year after Avatar.

Can anyone (without looking it up) name three characters from that movie?

Ellen page,Leonardo decaprio, and Tom Hardy.

Not arguing at all but you could say that about most Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks (and most amusement parks). It's very obvious all the money goes to the ride with the queue being the thing that gets whatever is left. I try to compare Disney to parks that actually theme their stuff. It isn't fair to compare Cedar Fair against anything Disney/Universal/etc. One is going for immersion with some thrill, the other is all in on high thrills.

Let's forget that one time Cedar Fair tried to compete with Disney on a "ride theme" level...

At least I got to experience it when some of the audio and lighting effects worked.

HOT TAKE!!!

This isn't insightful and I personally think regurgitating the same line should be a ban-able offense. If Disney focused on the characters of the land than it would be a relevant point. They didn't and it's not.

Can the average guest name three characters from The Haunted Mansion or Pirates of the Caribbean?

 

[RSoxNo1]

Popularity didn’t come into it.

An E became popular since... it was an E.

It didn't, but it absolutely would today. Evidence: Pricing of everything else.

E Ticket queue:

Not an E Ticket queue:

While I agree, the first photo was never the setup for guests. That was taken at a media event before switchbacks were in place. Having said that, I don't have a problem with the Toy Story Mania queue, it's befitting of the property. The problem is Harry Potter (And other franchises) lend themselves to a fully immersive land far more than Toy Story ever will.

Oversized props scream "kiddy land" and that's all this is. It's Storybook Circus + an existing attraction (Midway Mania).

 

[RSoxNo1]

An E ticket is like ****ography (type of adult entertainment): I can’t exactly define it for you but I know it when I see it.

That explains the video of SSE with the lights on where a friend of mine yelled out, "I have a *****"

The redhead, the pirate with the hairy leg on the bridge and Capt. Jack for Pirates and The killer bride, the caretaker and Mr. Gracey for HM. What do I win?

Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts. It is the overflow queue that is barren and provides nothing more than views of backstage. It is a embarrassment given all of the work that went into the views and sight lines of the rest of Diagonal Alley.

The same ride that had a differnt pic saying this is the queue of an "E". Just showing how you can easily pick and choose viewpoints to help your argument.

If you’re deceptive.

I prefer to compare the best of one to the best of the other. At least then we are comparing Macintoshes to Red Deliciouses.

I agree, I don't think that's what was done here. Also I'm not in any way trying to argue TSMM queue is in the same league as Gringott's.

There is no comparison of MacIntosh to anything. MacIntosh rules.

Spoiler: It might help to know...

I was born and raised 5 miles from what was one of the, if not the largest, MacIntosh orchard in the world in upper, upper New York State. I have yet to find another apple that I can eat without making faces.

The point being made I believe is that the photo used to compare TSMM to Gringotts (a ridiculous comparison, mind you) showed the best of Gringotts (without switchbacks even!) and the worst of TSMM.

I experienced that ride before they enclosed it. Back when it was called "Avalanche Run".
