Toy Story Land - General Discussion

[JungleSkip]

I think the environment will be a little more ambitious with the amount of foliage involved. Star Wars Land will be mostly buildings, and I am assuming some backdrops. I don't think it will be nearly as lush.

Sure, but that just involves planting stuff, not designing/building it

 

[IzzyB]

the engineering is more advanced than Star Wars because of the floating mtns but i agree with everything else

That is where I was going. The floating mountains seems to take a long time to figure out and build. But I could be wrong. I am sticking with early 2018 and late 2019 time lines for now.

landscaping isn't cheap, especially the way Disney does it.

Are the mountains moving? If not, they'd be simple to figure out. Just need to account for the possible force of wind on them and their weight and give them proper support and you're done. [HASHTAG]#Deforms[/HASHTAG]

right cant remember where i read it but one of the imagineers spoke about the difficulties of the mountains and how it was an engineering achievement

I believe I remember hearing from somewhere that they will move in a way that looks like they're swaying in the breeze. Maybe Jim Hill.

So then they won't be moving. Thanks. :tongue:

They also had a circle jerk about the SDMT vehicles too.

 

[twebber55]

no way they move, thats crazy talk

 

[ReelJustice]

Maybe Jim Hill.

That Slytherin Common Room at USH sure is kewl.

Ok, you made me laugh for a whole minute with that one. I see your point.

 

[twebber55]

wasnt Jim Hill on park scope once?

Jim is supremely entertaining.

That doesn't mean I believe anything he says.

The mountains look beautiful though.

Wicked Island - Coming Soon

I'm just simply done with this whole DHS project. They sell it to you one way to get you excited, but build something cheap.... makes me wonder how SWL will truly end up looking like.... not expecting much anymore. This will all be just a bunch of broken promises, plus expect another rise on ticket prices. Don't care anymore, close the whole damn thing, The company is clearly not capable to handle theme park business anymore.

I think I need to start a website for theme park wagering. Giving odds and taking bets on opening dates, and budgets and whether or not anything will actually get built in some cases. Betting against Disney making deadlines is a sure bet, and they somehow have everyone convinced that "this time it will be different" (only to have the same slow progress again).

Just look how long it took them to tear down Catastrophe Canyon after the Backlot Tour was closed. Yep, they're moving at lightning speed...

I hope to be proven wrong in my predictions of 2019 for TSL, but I doubt it.
