Toy Story Land - General Discussion

When it comes to Disney, I'll believe it when I see it.

If this was Toy Story DVC, it'd be open next year.

Based on my calculations Slinky will be shorter that 7DMT, and it will NOT have swinging cars. From my perspective, it will fall between Barnstormer and 7DMT. This will have approximately a 2 min. ride time. About half the length of BTMRR.

Shorter than 7DMT? There's no way. From the concept art, it looks like the track alone takes up a much larger footprint.

 

[IzzyB]

Yeah I thought insiders were saying 3 minutes. It seems awful big for less than 7D.

 

[martymcflyy85]

If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88 mph....

 

[Disneyhead]

I believe the ride time will be less than 120 Seconds.

A Jim Hill rumour, so you can take this with a grain of salt. Skip to 9mins.



The jist of it is that Disney may push back Toy Story 4 and have the movie premiere in Orlando and the after party being the opening of TSL.

The jist of it is that Disney may push back Toy Story 4 so it opens the same time as TSL and have the movie premier in Orlando and the after party at the park.

I mean, it makes sense timing wise... and it isn't unprecedented for Disney to do movie premiere's a Disney Parks (Pirates, Lone Ranger at DL, DCA) and they've premiered smaller movies in Orlando in recent years as well (but those have been at the Disney Springs AMC).

I won't put much, if any stock into this though.

I guess it makes sense. Even with a longer track, the ride will presumably go slightly faster than 7DMT at parts, considering there's a launch. Or if not faster, at least consistently moving (whereas 7DMT has a dark ride scene).

His whole argument kind of crumbles apart when he suggests that the film will open May 2017 and every where else says June 15, 2018.

Well, to be fair, premieres are always before they hit theatres, normally by a few weeks.

But again, the SMALLEST grain of salt I will give.

There's a few weeks and a year.

Ah, I glanced over the "2017" bit. Yeah, if he's trying to suggest that the land would be opening next May, then just throw that one out the window.

Great point. I was thinking the same thing and then you said it for me.

 

[Cole]

Well my excitement just grew way higher after learning more about the slinky dog ride, thanks guys!!!!

I don't think universal would be roasted for a ride like that, remember the plans for the JP wooden coaster? Same basic thing yet we were all happy about it. It's also unfair to compare this to DK, mainly because we have no legit info on DK and it's obviously gonna be in a way bigger scale than this since this isn't trying to have a big scale in the first place. I hope it's longer than 7DMT, would really suck to have another blink and you'll miss it type rollercoasters

 

[JungleSkip]

Three minutes is a SUPER long time for what is barely bigger/longer than a kiddy coaster

Although late 2017-18 is looking right for TSL, it does look like phase 3 has been greenlit and expedited also so that all phases could be open by 2020...possible some of 3 could open before all of 2 (Star Wars)

Yeah, it's looking like three phases are a definite. A fourth? not so much. It may just end up being a Star Wars expansion, which is said to possibly wipe out Muppets... although i'm sure we'd all rather more cool rides than Muppets just kind of be there and no one caring.

 

[Mad Dog]

Almost all coasters, even the big ones, are only one and a half to three minutes long real ride time. That's just the way the genre is. Not going to get much attraction time unless it slows up for a dark scene like 7 Dwarfs does. The only real long coaster I've ever been on was the woodie, The Beast, in King's Island, that's around 5 minutes long.
