Toy Story Land - General Discussion

[rhino4evr]

That Slinky Dog preview is laughable how bad it is. Don't get me wrong, I think it's going to be a fun coaster but it looks like it was created about 20 years ago.

Seriously, I thought it was fan made (and when I say fan, I mean like a 10 year old kids school science project). It looks like something form Roller Coaster Tycoon 1998 edition.

I can't believe Disney is putting this stuff out and expecting people to get hyped about it.

People will though. And they'll book trips based on it.

It's just us as fans that see through the crap.

The new artwork is from a billboard hence the lower quality and poorer colour but hopefully this will help you out.

Page 12 also had an up-down comparison. But the one above is much better as it is the same size.

You're easy to please.

:bang: Ugh! You would think Disney would have thought of this.

What confounds me especially is that the old proposed attraction name was something along the lines of "Little Green Men Saucers" or something. You can't tell me that Disney couldn't name the ride "Little Green Men Swirling Saucers"... they have a damn ride called "Monsters Inc: Mike & Sulley to the Rescue" for god's sake!

Something that turns me off, is the removal of a LOT of the theming in the concepts, which especially seen by @scott_walker's; the difference is night/day.

 

[Ryan]

To be fair, the lower right-hand portion of the original concept art is supposedly still in play.

Concepts are always over the top but I think my biggest issue is the removal of the valleys for the coaster. Coasters that are low to the ground add a lot to the experience and that seems to be sadly missing now.

Yeah, ride BTMR at WDW vs DLR and the valleys in DL add a lot.

hmm... the land seems a lot more compact in the newer artwork. Could it be that they realized 10 acres was WAYYYYY too much for something as cheap as this?

I can get behind the better usage of land if that truly is the case.

I think the perspective is making it look a bit more compact but I think you're right.

It's not a coincidence many coaster buffs cite Nemesis at Alton Towers as one of the greatest coasters ever made:

It's a great coaster and probably the best themed coaster in the world. What they managed to put into that area of the park using the landscape and still managing to stay below the tree line is nothing short of spectacular.

When we were talking about a replacement for DC the other day and using the Forbidden Forest as the theme, Nemesis is exactly what I'm picturing although not necessarily an inverted coaster.

I'm sure they did. And laughed.

"So the acronym is A.S.S., huh? Describes the land perfectly."

For me, TSL will be a great land....to avoid. It'll be knee high screamin' snot monster land.
