There's a room in Launch Bay that just shows fake "props" that they could exchange out for a SWL showcase. OMD is scheduled for complete demo to add a larger walkway into TSL. When that will be though, I don't know (have to assume we are approaching it's closure though).

As far as I've seen from you; you don't exactly have a good track record.

As for SWL, i'm betting this summer for information fully unveiled, especially considering that DLR is rumored to be getting that second floor of Innoventions/Superhero HQ (RIP SHHQ) to a brand new exhibit, showcasing SWL for their coast. If they play it right, they can do it in the Animation Building, or the One Mans Dream exhibit..



Sometimes, its how people..*puts on a shade of sunglasses* Roll.



(Also, you can edit the posts, making sure that it ain't going to triple posting..OCD-self)

Please point to the nonexistent poor track record....

I've posted probably three definitive post about Pandora, which I will stand by as i trust them. Anything else is opinion and passing on rumors for conversation.

Having worked for Disney in the past, and moving back this year, I've been making up with old contacts. One company involved in set construction and instillation, and that's all I can say.

you tried it...now let's move on

I should've rephrased it. I haven't seen what you've said about Avatar, as I didn't know of your track record. I didn't mean any harm foul.

I forgot about that room. Then yeah, I can see that working very well for DHS in terms of a location.

With TSL going in behind TSMM, does this mean Pixar Place is officially dead? That was obviously just to justify plopping a Toy Story ride in the middle of the park, although I assumed they would expand the land with, you know, more pixar IPs. But I think it's safe to assume that won't happen (at least any time before 2025)? Also, do we know if that strip will keep the name Pixar Place?

Nope, Pixar Place is going to become backstage and the TSMM is having a new entrance built on the opposite side of the showbuilding.

Moving the entrance has always baffled me - well not the entrance itself.

But if the entrance is moved what happens to the exit?

The ride unloads to what is essentially the "wrong" side of the building for the new plans.

What do you mean what happens to the exit? You exit into TSLand. Current Pixar Place will became a backstage service road/cast break area.

To give a quick look at how TSMM will incorporate into TSL, I did a quick paint mockup.

1 = TSMM Showbuilding
2 = Entrance/exit tunnel (similar to Soarin')
3 = Queue

2. Is just the entrance. The exit is through Al's Toy Barn (bottom center).

But how do the guests get to the exit?

The Restrooms and CM break room and maintenance bay are all on that corner of the building they would need to loop around to exit there.

Either that or move them to the opposite side of the building where the entrance is currently.

And that's the issue - double around the other side and you've got the new ride track and its queue.

The "new" entrance is essentially just coming in from the other side of the building where the queue currently exists. So changing it isn't a big deal. Guests go up and over the track via stairs to ride and then unload on the outside of the track.

The corner of the building by the Pixar arch is the restrooms, but built around those is the CM breakroom and the control booth for Mr Potato Head as well as the maintenance bay. Essentially unload runs along the side toward pixar place while cm/maintenance area run along the other wall.

So if anything guests would have to exit outdoors and then loop around the majority of the building.. and CMs would have to cut through it to get to/from some areas. Not the end of the world.. but as you get to the back of the building you get to the maintenance area which will need access for equipment and such.

And if the idea is to solve all of this by reworking the queue so guests exit out via going up the stairs and out (essentially reversing load/unload) that leaves the problem of wheelchair access. Wheelchairs would need to go over the other queue or over the track somehow and the building doesn't have elevators - just stairs.

Yeah, as @scott_walker said, everything will move to Pixar Place, as PP will cease to exist - no more guests. The restrooms in PP will become CM bathrooms and they'll put up a few tents for breaks.

It's virtually just flipping the ride around.

Not that it needed verification, but here's the proof that TSL will be located behind GMR. Also, Slinky Concept

I wonder if Mr. Potato Head will come back in the queue once this comes on line. There was a rumor that he won't be back until TSLand opens.
