I think him and Niles from TPI have a good take on this, this is basically Disney's Legoland.

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

Yeah, so we can razz them on how cheap billboard transitions are!!!

They can take a cue from Pandora and just put a plant that's umm.. always happy to see you.

Holy crap I just realized it opens just tomorrow.

Can't wait to see how long the lines gets lol.

For some strange reason I don't think anyone will have a hard time finding it or knowing about it. Just a hunch!

Does anyone know how SDD compares to 7DMT? In terms of height, length of track and top speed

Six Flags just called, they want their theme park land back. And before my opinion gets dismissed by the penguin, I have seen one of these lands in person. I don't see much difference. I am convinced that these projects are piggybacked by corporate money laundering. The toddlers will love it though and parents will delight. But not much different than a visit to Chucky Cheese.

So everyone who has seen it has said that the quality is noticeably higher than the other Toy Story Lands out there. This is not a six-flags land, this is more like a MK (old) Fantasyland caliber land.

It's still getting dismissed because you haven't seen it in person.

Ok. I will have to wait and see. But that sure isn't coming through on the videos that I have watched. Old Fantasyland had PP, MTWR and SWSA behind those weak facades. It worked in its day originally. It was improved upon over time and as needed. My question is. Why start there?

TheTimTracker ranked the coasters in WDW by intensity as follows:

Barnstormer > 7DMT > SDD > BTM > Space Mountain > RRR (He forgot EE but I assume that would be either the most intense or 2nd most...)

You are right. I'll accept that. I will look at it personally, and try not to have a jaded eye. We will see what the consensus is over time.

Has anyone heard if they are moving the opening time up earlier for DHS tomorrow? It is still listed as 8am but there have been rumors of them pushing opening to 6am.

yep...
and it's def: sm > ee > rnrc

one could even say, in theory, that sdd and btm should swap because, while being similar speedwise, one has two launches and the other, three lift hills
... but ride both and compare - also note how the different settings/approaches play into that; a rickety rollicking railway vs. an adorable toy puppy diving under jenga blocks

Old entrance of TSM open today.

Only a 25 minute wait right now.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Only a 25 minute wait right now.

I'll assume that all 3 tracks are back operational.

 

[culturenthrills]

I'll assume that all 3 tracks are back operational.

Yes, media event is over with.

 

[Clyde Birdbrain]

Yes, getting on third track now. Actual wait was 15 mins.
