Similar to the removable stansions for extended queues? Those are permanent with regard to the location they must go but can be removed and holes sealed to provide an open walk way.

Correct, just like those.

It's really striking to see how much land the Slinky coaster takes up.
This image also illustrates how small the guests walkway exploration space is in contrast. It feels like more of a sideshow than a land. Something you walk past, instead of something you walk into. Imagine if there was a centerpiece attraction that you could walk around. Jesse's Critter Carousel would be perfect. It would disperse crowds and let people INTO the land. I think this was a missed opportunity.
I would have also preferred a dark ride or two in all that space, but maybe we'll get that in 15-25 years when they tear all this down.

They'll get to that right after they update all DHS shows...

The layout and flow of this land are SO poor, my goodness. Went for the first time a few weeks ago. This place will look stale in 5 years or less.

Is TSM stale?

Totally, imho. Not my kind of ride, I'm afraid to say.

I still love it, and there are still long lines to this day but I guess they could change up the games every once in a while like how star tours changes scenes. Maybe they will with the new movie coming out.

Just got back on Monday. I thought the lack of shade talk was grumpy talk until I experienced it. It was 90 the day we were there. The land was mobbed and it was unbearably hot. Honestly that whole park needs shade. We waited 35 minutes for swirling saucers. I will never wait more than 5 again. It lasted 2 minutes tops and was not even fun.....and this is coming from someone who LOVES the teacups. Hubby and godson (10) went on Slinky dog and said it was fun enough. We all still love Midway mania but we had to wait 40 min (fp was for sdd)...I had hoped with the 3 tracks now the wait would be shorter.

Horrifyingly enough, that is the shorter wait.

I know the crowds really are huge these days.

I mean 40 minutes for a major attraction in a park with only six rides, is not a super long wait...
The franchise sure is!
I think TSM would be more fun if they tailored it to the holidays with new game offerings during Christmas or Halloween. Or if the characters referenced and interacted with players in the ride though the "magic" of those magicbands. The ride could use some new games. But, I guess it fits well with the rest of TSL: Acceptable and fun but hardly must-see/must do experiences.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I remember reading that when TSM was developed they did create holiday overlays for the games. It would definitely be beneficial since they had that slight holiday overlay during Christmas on TSL

It is when there is not much else to do. We had fast passes for Slinky dog, tower of terror and star tours. They never got on Rock and roller coaster because wait was over an hour all day. My godson is 10 and not patient so that wasn't happening. We waited 35 minutes for swirling saucers and 40 for toy story mania (and that was the ONLY time it was under 55 min all day. We also did Indiana Jones show, muppet mania and the cars show...and waited in line for BB8 and Kylo Ren. We ended up doing star tours 3 times because it was so hot and that was the only thing that got down to a descent wait time. The park needs a lot still. Shade, updated shows, more rides and a better layout without all the dead ends. Star Wars is going to make the crowds insane when they are already close to intolerable. They really should have put in a couple more things before star wars opened.

I also think toy story mania is not a major attraction. Don't get me wrong, I love it but it's not supposed to be a headliner. It's become that because of how long the park was neglected.

how often do they do little touches? outside of occasionally on rides themselves. sadly i think this is all it will ever be....a value engineered land and rows of umbrellas.

I'm still holding out hope for Al's Toy Barn and a Woody's Roundup BBQ in TSL. They'd just have to knock a few buildings down here and there.
