There have been zero hurricanes since the opening date was announced

There have been zero changes in what an AP is: a discount package, not a special access pass. Any previous perks giving to APs are gravy and were meant to get you to buy into the discount package, not a promise those extra perks will happen forever.

The reviews on social media that I've been able to see have been about 95% "OMG, you guyyyyys. Toy Story Land is going to CHANGE YOUR LIFE".

I guess it's possible the CM's who didn't like the land, but like being gainfully employed are going to stay (understandably) silent
Or most of the cast members legitimately liked Slinky Dog which is the case with many of the cast members have ridden it.

Plenty of CMs posting under anonymous handles on this forum and reddit have been almost all positive.

But, we'll put you on the list of people who, when encountering opinions contrary to yours, hatch nefarious plots to explain why they don't hate the things you hate.

I haven't formed an opinion on Toy Story Land yet. Haven't been

Then... you hate CMs??

Why would you think that CMs would publicly lie for job security? If they hated the ride, they could just keep their mouth shut. Or were they hoping their bosses would see them and then promote them?
I don’t think they’re lying. I think they have a strong bias and that’s ok. I also believe they had fun and enjoyed their employer throwing them a bone for once by providing extensive early access to the land.

There are quite a few honest reports saying they had fun with the caveat that they had a 5-minute wait. Many CM reviews share concerns for the same potential pitfalls as we’ve discussed.

I wonder how Slinky Dog Dash's view into SWGE will be rectified. Spires on the GE perimeter? Being in GE and seeing Slink fly through the sky would certainly be an immersion breaker.

I like how they keep saying “each of the attractions.” In my mind I’m asking, “Don’t you mean BOTH of the attractions?” (Yes I am aware of TSMM, but that wasn’t shown in the video)

CMs don't "lie" per say, but many of them are just huge Disney fans and for those in their 20-30's, Toy Story is a big part of their childhood.

It's easy to walk in, have a 5 minute wait for the two ne rides, walk out and then tweet out to the world that it's the best thing ever, but I can guarantee you that they would not have the same opinions of the land if they actually had to wait 3 hours or so like those on opening day will.

I would imagine that there are a lot of popular fan-fave rides that would lose their status if it was always a three hour wait. Would you wait 3 hours for HM or PotC?

I'd be more willing to than ever stepping foot into a line close to that long for either Aliens or Slinky. We can throw whatabout-isms around all day, but you're simply distracting from the point.

2.5-3 hour lines WILL be the norm this summer and in peak seasons until MMRR opens at the very least, which is still probably over a year away. The park simply doesn't have enough ride capacity. If you think that guests services isn't going to be hearing it from everyone that gets burnt to a crisp this summer then you're in for a surprise.

No. I am not.

You brought up queue length as a component of judging the ride. When I questioned about applying that same component equally to all rides, you blame me for the bringing it up.

This is your distraction to diminish the ride and you've been caught in the illogic of it.
