I think it was the fact the studio was never commercially viable that killed the backlot tour, without a real working backlot it wasn't really much of a tour.

So there's an implication that the ride vehicle will have some "slinking" effect. I'm skeptical that it will be anything too impressive, but I hope it does do something to evoke the physical form of Slinky Dog and just just be a regular coaster vehicle.

It's just the little hill bumps that will make it look like a slinky.
As in the expected Memorial Day weekend when Disney says 'summer'?

Thanks so much! More excited than ever, Slinky looks awesome, and how super cute are the Alien saucers! Hadn't any idea what they were going to look like!

If they had figured out a way to do that I think it would be (rightfully) hyped at every opportunity.

Curmudgeon alert but:Looks an awful lot like something one might find in cars land
To me, it looks like something that belongs in Tomorrowland. Nothing about the ride vehicles or structure that we have seen so far looks remotely like a toy in Andy's yard. It looks like what it is: a version of a ride that Disney already knew how to build forced to fit (or not) into a space that was thematically unsuitable.
And just to nitpick - why is there a Pizza Planet arch on the pathway leading to the QS spot? Pizza Planet is a full size building!

I find that ride to be a fun attraction. Obviously not a headliner but a nice addition.

I've been waiting to see the model and I have to say that for the most part, I like what I see. My only "complaint" is that they took the easy way out and just used a rubber tube on posts to create SDD vice coming closer to "track" and a representation of the actual support structures that already exist. But I guess this model is supposed to give "the feel" of the land vice be an architectural model, so to that end it succeeds.

It’s the Pizza Planet Play Set! Anything and everything can be a toy!
