Toy Story Playland

[IowaHawks7]

I know that this has been mentioned in the main thread about the changes coming to Hollywood studios and even been rumored but today there was a quick blurb in the new Miceage update that said
"While the parks in both Shanghai and Tokyo are slated to get their own version of the ride, another clone of Mater’s will also show up in Orlando. A copy of the ride, re-themed to Woody from Toy Story, will be one of three small rides being added to a new Toy Story Playland area, to be built where much of the shuttered Backlot Tram Tour currently is at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The plans to directly clone Cars Land for WDW may have died at the hands of Orlando’s accountants, but at least one of the three Cars Land rides will make the trip to Florida, albeit with a different character and theme." Just more fuel to the fire of the Toy Story Playland coming to DHS?

I think this is the ride they are talking about.

Perhaps they will be theming it to Woody's Roundup.

I love the Mater ride. It is tons of fun. I got on thinking it was just a normal kiddie tea cup ride but the whipping of the cars back and forth adds a new fun twist. I was laughing like a crazy person it was just so surprising and fun. We rode it twice on our trip we all loved it.

It is a great little ride! I don't have any problem with a clone, although I'm not sure I'm sold on "toy story play land". Unless it's a small piece of a much grander project.

 

[SJN1279]

That is just the type of attraction that DHS lacks. I hope it is true.

I doubt we're getting JUST Toy Story Playland. And again, at least they're not cloning it exactly, although to be fair we really still don't have any official confirmed ride information.

Not gonna lie, I love Toy Story Playland at Disneyland Paris, as cheap as it is and would welcome it to DHS as long as it also have something unique like the rethemed Mater ride. Very happy with this news if true.

 

[Kman101]

It's not a land that will appeal to all, but rides like those are exactly what DHS needs to flesh out it's park which is why I don't take issue with getting a version of it.

I think it's great DHS will be getting rides like that. Some similar attractions have become classics (Dumbo, Tea Party, Astro Orbiter, Carousel, etc.), and they are needed to round out the park. I just hope there is something more. The wide range of Pixar content deserves much more than a couple of small flat rides.

Finally some good flat rides coming to DHA. Excited to see this along with the rest TSPL. Hoping to see this by WDW's 50th.






(Yes I'm being sarcastic. It's just too easy to make that over-used joke these days)

I completely agree that the actual rides from Toy Story Playland would be welcome. I'm not sure about the theme. Can we get more Pixar properties involved to make it more of a Pixar Playland? I really am most concerned about capacity. Some of these attractions are not exactly people eaters. Hopefully additional high capacity family attractions can join the roster to help spread those crowds out. Can you imagine waiting 50 minutes for these flats? At the current DHS and with it being a new land, I can see it happening.

Surely nobody can get excited about 3 cloned travelling carnival class rides?

This really should not be coming to the studios....the rides are a cheap Chester and Hester style fill out lifted straight from the worlds worst Disney park.
If this is what the mean to a overhaul of the studios, I fell they should hardly bother.

So basically MGM's version of the tea cups

Here's the actual source, the most recent Al Lutz Miceage Update, that this information is coming from. It might help for folks to read it within context. http://micechat.com/85860-miceage-update-bridge-to-nowhere/

I imagine the news here about changes to the DAS program will also make the jump to WDW. It's not just the cloning of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree into a Toy Story theme.

I thought this way too when they were announced for WDS but as cheap and generic as they may seem, they are very well themed and are fun rides and isn't that what matters? So don't bash until you try them. DHS needs these types of family friendly rides.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

In Paris, RC Racer and the parachute drop have single rider lines. I hope the DHS versions/equivalents will have them too.

A wild mouse-style coaster would also be a nice way to expand this concept.

DHS needs these types of family friendly rides.

DHS needs popular attractions that can draw some of the crowd away from Toy Story Mania.

I still say that is the cheapest looking themed land of any Disney park...

Exactly. Not to mention MORE Toy Story?! WHY?!?! There are SO many new franchises they could use...

I just hope it looks cute like the one in Hong Kong.

ETA:

While this may be nothing to stand up and shout about, I echo the sentiment that DHS is in dire need of more family attractions.

I would have preferred a general Pixar theme of this and that. But, Toy Story Land can be cute with some effort and it should be relatively cheap.

Technically, this can be done by next fall or late summer. But, this is Disney so I am hoping for summer of 2016. It will be a shame for this to open *after* Avatarland -- it that happens, then it will be 2020 before we see anything remotely E ticket or Star Wars at DHS.
