That is what I was expecting, but some CM's from the previews are talking 3 minutes. I'm assuming at the moment they just didn't time it and felt it was longer than it actually is.
That is incorrect I know it felt longer than expected, but it was more like around 90ish seconds long. Unless they included the time you wait outside the unload watching Wheezy.

Nice pics!

How long before the Slinky queue gets some umbrellas to provide shade for the outdoor portion? I'm surprised how much of it is completely exposed to the elements, and we know there's ALWAYS going to be a line in that queue. Really no excuse for building it like that.

Indeed, the entire land looks like it's going to be pretty exposed. There's greenery, but almost all of it is at the periphery and will offer little shade to people walking around. And the (overly)wide paths aren't going to help either.

I do wonder if that is where the exit path is and not the queue. Maybe the majority of the queue is the inside portion?

You mention the queues, at least from the aerial photos they seem rather small for both attractions considering the expected demand. Unless they are planning on limiting the number of people entering TSL to prevent overcrowding.

So now that we're seeing the land almost in operation, I'm starting to get concerned over lighting. Between the Tinker Toy spotlights and the Christmas lights above the paths, will there really be enough ambient light in this area at night?

It's something I really disliked about Flik's Fun Fair when I visited DCA - for a "kid's" sections of the park, it felt woefully underlit and almost uninviting/sinister at night. Frankly, I feel the same about the Fantasyland Forest at MK too - it's about the least inviting part of the park after dark.

Here's to hoping that they've focused everything well, but I've not been impressed with similar offerings in the past. Anyhone have any insight into other TSLs on how dark/light they are at night? Do they feel as seedy as Flik's or Fantasyland?
