Toy Story Land - General Discussion

[Magic-Man]

It's alright, I much prefer Woody and Hippogriff, however.

Never ridden Woody, but Hippogriff is great.

mmm, they're pretty similar but I prefer woody because the woodpecker noises that go off are just too fun, and Hippogriff is kind of an eyesore.

Are the 5 people that are still working on this land going to be able to finish it by the end of june?

 

[Teebin]

I feel confident that the paths beneath the coaster are evacuation paths... in case they need to get a lift in to help people disembark a stuck coaster. Fire and rescue kinds of stuff.

This will be like much better than Barnstormer, Woody, Hippogriff right?, or do my eyes deceive me.

Yes, much better. 2 launches. Not gonna be RNRC, but will certainly be a step up from Barn, Wood, Hippo. I'd wager it's closer to 7D w/o the show elements.

Except a much MUCH bigger footprint.

I'm excited for it, but mostly so it sucks some of the crowds away from the rest of the park into what will inevitably be long lines for the two new rides it offers.

I'll enjoy Slinky as I do Seven Drawfs, when I'm lucky enough to score a FastPass.

Slinky is essentially 7D without show scenes and launches instead of hills.

 

[jrn14]

Ok, just wanted to make sure I wasn't being too optimistic. All the talk of the kiddie coasters was starting to make me nervous.

Though this doesn't appear to be anything to write home about, I'm sure it will at least be "fun".

I actually think 7 dwarfs is horribly underrated, but the most I've ever waited was 20 minutes (only ridden it twice), however I feel like it's a lot of fun and I really like the show elements. Maybe my tune would change if I waited 2 hours for it haha.

Slinky is essentially 7D without show scenes and launches instead of hills.

And without theming

 

[jrn14]

And without theming

I mean it has themeing... it's toy/slinky dog "themed"

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I think this could have been a nice looking unique coaster with the original rockwork left, but it's just a normal coaster with heavy foliage and large props.

I wonder how quickly would they have to start re-painting this land due to Florida weather.

 

[Mad Dog]

7 Dwarfs without theming isn't much of anything. The theming and the cavern scene make the ride. If it was just the coaster, minus theming, I would never bother getting a fastpass for it, or stand in a line longer than 15 minutes......Slinky is sub sub sub par theming.

 

[shiekra38]

Yes, the cars look nice...I would have liked to have seen a show scene or two on the block break sections...That's what sets Disney and Universal apart from the rest..

They are, all of Disney's coasters has some sort of access paths along the track for whatever reason (emergency access, maintenance, dropped belongings, etc)

Right. But to be fair, SDD will have two launches. So while (IMO) not as important as the cavern scene and rock theming - that is an element that 7DMT doesn't have.
SDD doesn't really have an apple to apple comparison like, say, Barnstormer and Woody. So 7D is the closest comparison. Each will have advantages the other doesn't.

I can't imagine more often than Seuss

 

[jrn14]

Yeah I agree the whole land appears very lackluster and disappointing. ESPECIALLY considering the amount of land it's taking up... but at this point what can you do? I hope the coaster is at least "fun"

Yeah, to me the coaster looks kinda fun, that's about all I'm excited for. I mean the theming...is pretty generic...

 

[Miketheboss]

To say the coaster has no theming is a stretch. You literally walk inside of the box where the coaster pieces came out of. Then you see all these toys scattered all around the land with large wooden fences looming in the distance AND you're riding inside of SLINKY DOG.
