Rode Slinky today. Pretty fun ride, honestly not much less thrilling than Thunder Mountain. Shorter but pretty similar in terms of thrills IMO. Saw 2 people pass out from the heat. Make sure you're hydrated folks. "I was born into this heat. I was molded by it. You merely adopted it." Its no joke and that queue may face those issues on the daily considering theres very little cover.

The train goes to a different park. Islands of Adventure has always been a loop
I see what you are saying, however, to me that is still a dead end. You might make a minor circle, but, you still had to double back to get the heck out of dodge. That just seems to be a traffic circle to me, but, I guess to some degree that is right.
I don't see a connection there. How is that not having to basically turn around and head back the way you came in. Does that path from Hogwarts Castle continue on and connect with something else that would put you back on the right side of IoA without retracing one's steps?

Within the park, the land connects to Jurassic Park on the south and Lost Continent on the east. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Filch’s Emporium of Confiscated Goods and Flight of the Hippogriff are not the entirety of Hogsmead.

OK, I guess that I just never had the occasion to find out where that bridge lead too. I stand corrected.

TSL in Paris:
Rc Racer: 1,000 riders per hour
Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin: 2,000 riders per hour
Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop: 1,900 riders per hour.

TSL in DHS:
Slinky Dog Dash: 1,900 riders per hour
Alien Swirling Saucers: Fewer than 1,000 but let's say 1,000 for now.

So TSL in WDS, when it opened added capacity that equaled 4,900 compared to the 2,900 in DHS. And it also has a gift shop!
Since TSMM is apart of TSL shouldn’t it be included for ride/ capacity?

TSMM has been in the park for 10 years by now. The comparison was what was added with the opening of TSL in HS and what was added with the opening of TSL in WDS.
In that case, we should at least include the third track, which didn’t open until 2016 (IIRC) as part of the DHS redo.

Not really actually. The track opened because the ride was super popular (100min+ waits) and it opened 2 years before TSL. It was meant to increase the capacity of the ride. The same happened with Soarin, with the addition of a third theater in 2016. TSM shouldn't be included because a third track opened in 2016 and not 2010 or 2013.

Yes, but, don't you think that that stuff was all in the plans at the time it was expanded to the third line. It is now a part of TSL and therefore officially counts as capacity now. We are not talking about how much was gained, just what the park is capable of and TSMM is absolutely a part of it.

What the park is capable of can be mentioned in another post (not thread, don't get me wrong, it can be explained in another post). I talked about how much capacity the opening of TSL added to the park compared to WDS. TSM added capacity to the park 10 years ago and again 2 years ago with the opening of a new track. Not now.

Probably late to the party and someone might have already commented, but I can tell you that while there might be new installed network equipment on June 30, it was not working on June 30 (at night) or on July 2 (in the morning). I found both times that Slinky Dog bridge and back was a dead zone and Swirling Saucer was spotty coverage. It was fine in Midway Mania.

Question, did we ever find out what was planned for the apparent Woody's Roundup/Al's Toy Barn are near the entrance in the original concept art? I'm assuming Al's was going to be merch, was Woody's going be Meet n Greets? Play area?

Photo update as of Monday, July 9, 2018. The Pixar Place overhead sign was gone as of Toy Story Land opening. Pixar Place street has been closed off with this construction wall. All that remains accessible are the restrooms on the right side.

Any of the insiders know if there is a "plan" for this area and, if so, could you provide any insight on what might be planned? Maybe they build a store or restaurant right at the end there to fully block off that pathway? Even a nice curved curb with some landscaping to more clearly indicate the right turn into Toy Story Land?
