Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[iMax]

What's the schedule for TSL today? Are there more media events or might we see a soft opening? I see TSM currently has a 70 min queue...

Possible soft open in the afternoon.

Also, should we place bets on how long wait times are going to be tomorrow? And where the line will start for these attractions? And if a 101 (lightning in area) occurs how many people will not move from their spot and get struck by lightning?

The POV's are finally starting to come in.

Wow. SDD looks INCREDIBLY boring. Far more than I even expected. Geez.

 

[Stevek]

Optimistically a theoretical 1,300 an hour for SDD and 600 an hour for A*S*S. On the bright side, at least demand for the attractions will likely be relatively low.

You think demand for two family attractions will be low? I think Slinky Dog will be very popular...Aliens a bit less (if anything like the demand for Mater at DCA)

Just finished watching the dedication. My gosh, was that a bad show! Bad audio cues, bad acting from Chapek, awkward appearance from Tim Allen. You'd think Disney would know how to do these things by now, but I guess not . . .

Trust me it isn't in real life.

Did Disney pay CNET for this glowing review? I thought I was watching a Disney P&R promo vid.

They're a tech info company. They don't have the discriminating taste of a theme park connoisseur to hate everything.

We need more reviews from people who look at things!

Needs some more Gondola.

I understand. All the more strange why they would care to put out a video glorifying a new theme park land. The only tie to "tech info" I can see is the tech behind TSM. My remark was more about how just gosh darn chipper the woman taking us on the tour was. She was like CM quality gushing.

Though I still try to always reserve judgement til walking through the space in person, I greatly appreciate you posting these videos to see some of the details so thanks!

I think I am going to enjoy this land, but, I can tell you right now that I am absolutely giddy about the fact that I didn't drive all the way down to Florida to attend the lamest opening ever. They really should burn the video or run the memory chip though a high powered tree mulcher.

Corporate Suits make terrible hypeman MCs.

I think it was for invited guests only. I would have gone if it had been open to the public. But the land is still closed right now anyway. Imagine a huge crowd of guests standing there, Tim Allen opens the land, and then ... "Ok, back up everybody. Toy Story Land is still closed for the rest of the day".

YOU..SHALL NOT...PASS!!!!!!!!

And I do like the Astro Blasters blaster in the queue for A*S*S, though a Space Ranger Spin blaster might've been a better choice. The decision to even include a space-looking ride in TSL on top of that has me confused. I there aren't plans to remove SRS simply because idiots who conflate brand and theme can't understand how a Toy Story ride outside of Toy Story Land could ever possibly make sense.

Keep in mind that until tomorrow, Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a land called Pixar Place and the least amount of Pixar inspired attractions than any Disney park in the world.

If anyone at Disney had a sense of humor they'd make moose topiaries for their "this is closed" planters.

I'm saying SDD hits 210 minutes tomorrow.

The transition is so weak. Put up some billboards or something.
