Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[erwinalber4]

So are they finished with all of their announcements for today? Or is the presentation still going on?

Toystory land will flop and Disney will replace it. I would have preferred radiator springs.

I dont think it will flop, especially with toy story 4 on the way. Radiator springs would have been great and would still be great as a neighbouring land, but with new rides, but really if it were only Radiator Springs, I would be disappointed, because the land is literally in the same country.

There is a show building behind the "hotel". Any guesses?

Any idea what that building in the middle is?

Guessing the lower left is food

The presentation is over now. Other WDW announcements include some updates on Avatar, new Soarin' video coming to Epcot, and a few small Star Wars related attractions (not rides) to tide over until the new land is built.

Based on the concept art, I'm actually going to guess that it will take up most of the backlot tour and lights motors action. If you look at the concept art, you can depict what looks like the building behind the special effects water tank and one of the tour bridges to the far left. The new entrance to TSMM would be here. Soundstage 1 could be a rebuilt queue and exit space while track 3 will be placed where the current queue is. Pizza planet could take over studio catering company. Pixar place could still exist from where one mans dream was to just behind soundstage 1 leaving more expansion space for future pixar films, streets of america could be monstropolis/muppets and honey would get a small bugs life overlay still. Star wars would be echo lake, epic, and star tours area.

Hopefully

So I guess those "rumors" of cars land were indeed fake.

Might just be decoration and not the actual ride.

looks like (layout wise) may use some kind of induction motors or other non chain lift system. i could be wrong.

It does look like it has LSM midway along in the section with all the circles around the ride. I think this looks like a wonderful coaster.

I would bet this is the extent of the major additions. Unannounced is any new entertainment.

I dont think so.. It probably belongs to the slinky dog ride.

Wow. This is great. Pretty pumped.

Thanks. I'd say my thirst has been quenched for now.

Toy Story DVC.....

Sorry, someone had to go there.

I was thinking the same thing... Reminds me a lot of Hong Kong's Big Grizzly Mountain just without a backwards section...

I'm actually very impressed with this addition. The family coaster looks like it has the potential to be fantastic, and who knows what the Alien ride could bring. It would be really nice to see the utilization of a trackless system like what is in place at Mystic Manor in Hong Kong and Pooh/Aquatopia in Tokyo. Obviously Star Wars is the real star here, but I think this will really help DHS!

Could the alien ride just be a spinner like dumbo?

 

[GhostHost1000]

I thought DHS was gonna be getting a cars ride too ...I guess not?

I understand it's all about building themed lands now but why not broaden it and make it Pixar instead of everything toy story? I'm sure it'll be cool but I'd like to see other Pixar things down the road too

Looks good. The park needs some stuff for the young ones also.
