Toy Story Land - General Discussion

The Mr. Spell on the rubics cube is a nice little detail.

It's the same one that was removed from Pixar Place awhile ago. Was wondering when it would show up.

So glad he’s back. I was sad to see him go, but figured he was on his way to TSL. Wonder if more theming will start vanishing for Pixar Place in the coming months.

Notice the (new) exit path for TSMM is being paved here, but also notice that they've added onto the TSMM building, presumably to make the facade look like a fence as the TSL model suggests:

Guest: Wow the slinky ride has a 2 hour wait, we'll ride the Alien ride.
Guest: Wow the Alien ride has a two hour wait, we'll ride something else.
Guest: Wait, that's all there is? WT.....

Guest: Of course we can still ride our favorite from previous visits TSMM. Wow that wait is longer than ever before... erm.

Guest: We’ll come back next year when things have quietened down a bit.

And then, bam. They run into the horrific tourist jam as GESWL opens.

So turns out that Disney hasn't actually "fallen behind" on TSL. It's right on schedule, but for all of the wrong reasons. As you guys may have noticed in the past few aerial updates, there's been little progress. This is because Disney is again falling into the habit of spreading out costs.

Also, why open the land on June 30th? Well, as it would not so coincidentally have it, that's the last day of Fiscal Quarter 3, meaning that they have the entire quarter to spread out construction costs, with minimal operating costs. Then once Fiscal Q4 starts, construction can pick up on things like Rat and other projects.

That's a long time to hold in a fart

A look at the seats inside the Slinky Dog Dash vehicles (via WDWMagic). Looks like another case of making the seats too small.

That's going to suck for anybody with a big bum.

Funny to see seats mentioned at the same time in two different threads but for very different reasons !

 

[Alicia]

Oh no... It's the 7 Drawfs Mine Coaster issue all over again... Time for me to lay off the Pongu Lumpias for a bit.

I think it’s a hoot. Imagine poor little Timmy at the end of the ride looking like nothing more than a piece of wallpaper…

Those two seats look like they can handle "one" "normal for Disney" sized tourist.

Are those seats really hard plastic?

It's a roller coaster what the hell else would it be?
