Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

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

Could be, its still possible to get announced and theres always next year right?

 

[Timothy_Q]

You know they did this before ? And it was succesful?

So?

Could the alien ride just be a spinner like dumbo?

As far as we know right now it could be anything. The first thing I thought of when I saw the Alien ride was Luigi's Flying Tires in California, but since they are already replacing the old school flying saucers system that was originally with that ride with a new trackless system, I figured the Alien ride would be similar. But it could also very well end up being a Dumbo style spinner.

In the hi-res version of the concept are you can sort of see the ride system, it's not a dumbo type spinner.

It still blah to me. My fellow castmembers are disappointed as well. Disney took the cheap way out. Knowing disney I wouldn't be surprised if they change their mind. Do you remember the original fantasyland expansion

You mean princess and pixie land?

 

[Evolution]

I'm so excited for this! It looks great. Any word on the timeline?

I think it is unreasonable to expect two massive expansions containing new E-tickets to be announced at the same time. The Toy Story area's role is to increase capacity, and I think it will do that extremely well based on what has been announced.

VERY rough estimation of where this will be located:

Close, except the entrance will be where the current One Man's Dream/Little Mermaid building is now, which is coming down.

The red barn you see in the forefront is where that building currently is.

 

[orlando678-]

At least they are opening up stuff after the mass closings

 

[Incomudro]

To me it looks like we're getting an authentic Pizza Planet and Al's Toy Barn but that's just my speculation.

Pizza Planet must feature the two robot guards at the entrance that say "welcome to Pizza Planet."

So now that there is a family coaster in the Pixar area, can we say that the Monsters coaster is officially dead now? I sure hope not...

Parachutes ride at very top of high res concept art .

I think that is just decoration- I don't see an entrance for it in the middle of the coaster track.

Who knows. I'm happy about star wars. My kids are 3 and 4. And they like cars more than toystory.

A bummer that its just Toy Story though, especially with all the upcoming Pixar stuff and the possibilities with Monsters. inc, Cars, Incredibles etc.

I agree. Already so much Toy Story...glad for improvements, but anything else Pixar would have been nice.

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 more other Pixar things down the road too

I am of the thought that WDI is cranking out content at max speed and that they have, at this point, done all they can. But I would expect Pixar has plenty they want to translate to the parks eventually.

 

[Turtle]

I like how there's a Woody's Roundup saloon area and Buzz Lightyear area in that concept art

I certainly hope not, but probably its a no for DHS. It could still be possible though, because eventhough there are going to be new family ride, it will still need some others.

 

[DisneyJunkie]

The Slinky Dog coaster sounds promising, but PLEASE don't tell me this new alien ride will be yet ANOTHER spinner attraction (i.e. Dumbo, Astro Orbiter, Flying Carpets, Triceratops Spin).

They're 3 and 4 for a very short period of time.
