And there's room too. They very easily could've put something by the land's entrance or designed the coaster so that they could put a second ride in the middle of that large area.I feel the land needed one more flat to round it out.

Yep. The building that the third track is in is completely wasted space. The third track is unnecessary and a waste of a building.Even using part of the building for a second ride to also house an indoor dark ride section for the coaster.
I don’t know that I agree with that. Mania is a huge draw, and will continue to be a huge draw even after Star Wars opens. The more E-Tickets (which it isn’t for me personally but it is as far as Disney is concerned) in that park with good capacity, the better.Yep.

But if there was entirely new ride in that space, then TSMM wouldn't be so popular. Plus, I'd rather take longer waits for TSMM if it means more attractions park-wide.The reason for the 3rd track is Disney thinking ahead. More guests visiting for SWL will require larger capacity everywhere else.
Yea, I was gonna reply with the same thing. Instead of adding another track here - or another theater to Soarin' - they really should've been adding more attractions. The wait times for these rides weren't so high because of the ride so much as it was the lack of other decent rides for families at these parks.But if there was entirely new ride in that space, then TSMM wouldn't be so popular.

Being Pixar Place, the original idea for that space was an indoor inverted family coaster based on Monsters Inc., modeled after the moving door tracks from the finale of the first film.Okay, what ride would you put in there then? What part of Toy Story would it be based on?

Concept art was drawn up and everything:

That would have taken over only the soundstage where the third Toy Story Midway Mania track is now (with an extended roof to accommodate several stories of coaster track.) The land behind it where Toy Story Land is being built was an employee parking area and backstage structures until recently.Part of me wonders how big that coaster would have been, and what else could fit on that land. But had that been the only ride built on that land, wouldn't we still have the same problem as we do now? Wasted Land?

I think it would've been better to have gotten a different ride than just a third Toy Story track... at the time. Now all bets are off and it's all Toy Story.
Rumors were that after the Monsters Inc ride was built, a smaller version of DCA's Cars Land was going to be built next to Pixar Place. That would've been three Pixar properties in a row... Now it's alllll Toy Story instead...
At least we're getting Star Wars too.
And who knows... some rumors are that Monsters Inc will be coming to the Animation Courtyard area after all this time anyway. So, that could be cool.
Until then... not many rides at the park. And there could've been one more than there is... but instead they just cloned the Mania track to get wait times down.
It was actually approved and posted as a new attraction on Disney's Intranet before the recession hit.Part of me wonders how big that coaster would have been, and what else could fit on that land.

What is that other ride in toy story all about, what is the ride system going to be?
A whip ride. A retheme of this to be exact:What is that other ride in toy story all about, what is the ride system going to be?
When did you lose them?I miss the balls.
