Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Does anyone know what the thing in the south right corner is?

From the looks of the artwork, I think that is the TSMM building in the top right, which means this will consume the Streets of America and Backlot area. I'm assuming it will butt right up to Star Wars land.

Is anyone else looking at this artwork differently?

Looks behind TSMM to me, where current administrative buildings are, the red facade in the middle of the image looks like a new entrance for TSMM.

I hear guests love that ride. Great add!

The other possibility is the new ride system being developed for Lugi's in Carsland. This will be a trackless flat ride where the cars zip around each other. But based on the concept art, I am leaning toward Maters.

First I have heard of this. Is this replacing the current carsland ride?

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

More like a change of plans.

Yup. The flying saucers technology the ride opened with doesn't really work as well as anticipated and the ride isn't very popular so they are redeveloping it using a trackless system similar to what is used at attractions in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Paris.

So now the only things I'm wondering about is the park name change, what is going in the new theater behind RRC, if the Muppets are staying or going, and if there will be any changes to Fantasmic!/show enhancements. Other then that, bravo Disney!!!

Toy Story Land is definitely going BEHIND the current TSMM building. I'm happy about that. Makes the most sense and actually means opening up an area not used by guests instead of a horribly crowded former backstage walkway.

It is replacing Lugi's Flying Tires which has closed already.

TSM is bottom left

Ok...so just the backlot and administration.

What do we think is going to take over SoA and LMA? Something else? I thought we all figured Star Wars was going into existing Star Tours, Indy, Echo Lake, and Superstar Theater.

 

[danlb_2000]

If this goes behind TSMM, which it seems like it is, one of the things that has to go is the Light Motor's Action practice area.

It would be cool to have even more land used on the west of sunset boulevard or even stretching to Fantasmic.

Poor Indy there goes my LucasLand

I guess it was too much to expect mega Star Wars land and RSR. A mini carsland would have been nice though.

i dont see that happening...but I do see them connecting the loop back by RnR now that the Art of Animation is closed.

 

[DisneyJayL]

Disney just bought the game and sold sold it to everyone. I'm extremely excited.

 

[Mickey5150]

Finally rides for little kids. For everyone complaining that these aren't e ticket thrill rides, remember, little kids want to enjoy Disney as well. This is coming from someone without kids who doesn't want kids.

 

[orlando678-]

Also, I guess there is going to be no Henson or even Disney Animation anymore?

 

[spectromagic04]

As much as I'm extremely disappointed in the DHS redo I will say this Toy Story Land is better than I thought it would be.

Sounds great! Slinky Dog looks like a fun (and thankfully, rather lengthy) family coaster and Mater is such a fun ride that a Toy Story retheme would be great. Certainly a step up from the rest of the Toy Story Lands.
