These panels look interesting. I wonder what they could be used for.. The top one looks like Jessie.

I know we're on page 525 of the thread, so all apologies if already mentioned, but...where does THIS go/what is it for (see red arrow)? Seems like it's out in the open for being any kind of backstage access? (If there's already a mention of this, just direct me to the right page/link)

I think someone on here mentioned a while ago it was for access to get under A.S.S. since the ride system sits in/under the ground.

Probably goes to the flat ride basement where all of the machinery is located.

I wonder why they didn't build a fence on this side of the land as well.

Seems like that backstage building will be visible from a lot of different angles from TSL.
Especially when riding Slinky

From the ground they say it is supposed to look like you are in Andy's backyard.
The Slinky Coaster looks like it is going to be a fairly long ride for a coaster.

Woody's Lunchbox has pictures of him and his squad as 2d art on the lunchbox and in the open storybook. Sorta like...

Indeed, you can get a better look at bottom floor of Aliens area from older pictures.

(Speaking of which, man! It feels like just yesterday when we all thought this would never open! )

There's another entrance off to the side too, under the orange:

Any insiders have any info on the Mr. Potato Head animatronic? If he's gonna be back in the queue, where he's gonna be?

No, no, no. It's *Star Wars Land* in DHS that's never going to get built, and if they do, they're going to build it really slow for accounting reasons and/or they're just incompetent builders, and thus, they will not get it built until 2021!!

 

[SpectroMan93]

It’s really coming together nicely. Just a shame about the space that’s going unused in the land. I feel like if they reconfigured the land they could fit a another swirling saucers sized attraction in there.

I would prefer if fast passes were scheduled same day, one at a time, through the phone. That would even the playing field in my eyes.

Maybe give everyone one pre booking.

I won't believe they're building SWL until I see it WITH MY OWN EYES!!!!1!!¡

It's likely that the entire company will actually go out of business soon, obviously saving them the trouble of building it at all. Stock buybacks and whatnot.

Since you started down this rat hole: man wins record settlement for rat bite at Magic Kingdom forces Disney into Chapter 13.

So excited- especially for the greenery!!!!! Love it!

I sadly agree on the wasted space- seems like Woody’s lunch box has a lot of wasted space around it but I think some is for seating...

I have numerous critiques for this land, but it will certainly be cute and quite successful for a kiddie land.

I do consider Storybook Circus a kiddie land, and this is nothing like that. But to each their own...

 

[RSoxNo1]

I’d rather have paper FP. Of course I’d rather have no FP but we’re going way off topic.

The Max Pass is the best of both worlds and my preference for either coast.

I mean... the two expansions are really, really similar. Both have a double-sided flat-ride and an external, tame, lightly-themed coaster. Both are themed to incorporate a pre-existing attaction - the train or TSMM. The Circus has a merchandise location TSL lacks while TSL has a quick service window. I actually prefer the theming in Storybook (no gigantic statues of characters having meet and greets nearby, a bit of historical relevance with the train connection), but that's subjective and neither's great. On the basics, the comparison is pretty spot on.
