I believe @LintemuthStudios was insinuating this would occur before the opening of Galaxy's Edge. Runaway Railway won't be open till a year after TSL.
This is why the Indiana Jones boat ride that has been talked about is being seriously looked at for DHS. They know the park needs more rides.
They could have put rides in the middle of the coaster layout as there's more than enough space that it takes up. They chose not to use that space to it's fullest advantage.
If they do any sort of expansion for the land (store, M&G, show, flat ride, etc), you are right that it will likely be in that front part of the land.
It's incredibly easy to get a FP for NRJ most of the year and that's without trying too hard. Normally I find one on my first try for a party of 4. FoP is incredibly hard however.

I wonder if TSL will have some sort of special event for Toy Story 4. It comes out in June of next year.
I could see them adding new characters/changing games for Midway Mania like they did when the last one came out. That’s something they can promote. New Bo Peep walkaround character would be a good tie in too.

I'd die laughing if all they do when TS4 comes out is bring back the Bo Peep minigame that was replaced when TS3 came out.
I think this looks good on a model but would be a bit of an eye sore from Star Wars. I think this is more of a practical choice and a budget choice.
Sight lines over berm from some angles in SW was my guess too. Also, you won’t really see much as you exit the ride, walking by for 1 minute quickly. Being so close to the building you likely won’t even notice the top part of that building anyway, only close to the ground theming. Go away green is fine for that side.
Not sure if anyone else has thought of this, but with the Weezy AA being added to SDD and the quietness surrounding Mr. Potato Head (and the similarity in body shape), one has to wonder - did they simply reskin Mr. Potato Head and turn him into Weezy to try to make SDD seem better? More importantly, will we actually see Mr. Potato Head again in Florida?
We probably won't know until we get pics of the TSMM queue, but I wouldn't be surprised at all if Weezy is simply a reskin. They know that TSMM is already a guest favorite. I hope i'm wrong though.

ALSO - I was thinking about possible areas that flats could go and in just this half of the land I can see two spots, although only one of them is really likely. Where all the trees are over near the fence is the most likely. They wouldn't need to remove all trees and the bottom of the fence could remain hidden, but something like a merry-go-round (just a personal thought on something that would fit the land) or really any flat ride that is low to the ground would fit there. Since i'm proposing something simple like a merry-go-round, a big queue wouldn't be needed, thus it doesn't need to take up a lot of space and would fit. Theme it to a character like Bo Peep or something.
The other spot in this frame I had in mind would be in-between the track for Slinky below, which isn't crazy considering in one of the concept art pieces they released they had a guest path going through there. The issue would be since that's a tighter space, the queue would cause issues.
Anyway, I can easily see them adding some sort of flat, although another should have been in the opening day lineup anyway. A better track design for Slinky could've put the land to better use in terms of flats in various places.

I think there’s a very good chance it’s Mr Potato Head. Some folks guessed that around Twitter when he was announced last week.

That would be a really complicated reskin, considering the mouths and eyes us completely different technology and are located in completely different places on the body...
I wouldn’t say a reskin, more like a servo recycling program. At least the swivel base wouldn’t need to change.
Ugh, I hadn’t even seen the side-by-side. It’s too bad if it is what it looks like.

Nerd rant time:
Toy Story Land seems to be set between the events of TS2 and TS3. We know this because Jesse is here, who joined the group in the second film. Also, Wheezy is here, who was lost/died before the third film. And, ya know, cause Andy is still playing with toys and they’re not yet owned by Bonnie (it’s his backyard and he built the coaster after all, plus, his footprints can be seen.)
All that is fine and good... but then how is there Trixie, and other characters, in Midway Mania that don’t join the group until halfway through the third film!?! And I bet you more will be added after the fourth film!
Okay, so I guess we are to believe that the “Land” takes place in one time period, and the ride takes place in another... but wait, the ride’s load area is set in Andy’s bedroom, and not Bonnie’s, and my brain just broke.
I guess...

I would enjoy a merry-go-round with a ton of different toys you can ride and interact with, similar to the Caro-Seuss-el. It could be something special and not just a boring flat ride like (imo) the alien spinners.
