That was sort of the point of my post on the last page. People have mentioned some differences between concept art being less giant tinker toys. I actually think less makes the land look less... well, less ugly/cluttered.But how many Tinkertoy towers can they possibly build?
I heard that it was SUPPOSED to be $400M, it's now been slashed to $250M (which is still ludicrous for the quality of this land imo). I honestly can't blame them for cutting a few minor things if it's gonna save that much. $400M would be stupid for TSL.Anyone know what the actual budget for TSL is. I read on Magic it was $400 million, but I don't know if that's official or BS. If it is indeed, apx. $400 million, they're certainly not getting much bang for their buck. Especially considering Diagon/Gringotts/HE was in the vicinity of $450 million....But then again, we're dealing with Disney Imagineering & their inflated costs.

I think people need to accept TS Land for what it is: a simple family area, slightly better than Storybook Circus.
Can I ask the dumb question of how anyone sees the stuff on the roof surfaces while actually in the park..?
It'll be a height requirement that 2.5-3 year olds will qualify to ride, so it's not restricting too many people.Why the hell are we catering aesthetically to people who'd ride a parachute drop ride?
That aside - I vehemently object to the notion that there's nothing for kids to do at any Disney theme park. That's absurd and a coaster with a height requirement won't fix it.
It does look good, I don't know how busy it was when you went but on a cold mid december morning that area of the park was heaving! 60 min wait just for the RC Car.I didn't really notice the theming of the queue for the Slinky Dog ride in Paris when I was there.. but how great does this look from afar? I had no idea.
I hate Storybook Circus.

That's what you get when shopping at WDI-mart.Simple....with a budget of either $250 or $400 million.

Gotta love that phrase, "WDI-Mart".That's what you get when shopping at WDI-mart.
