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.

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.
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.
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

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