Toy Story Land is just a week away from its official opening on June 30, and the next week will see numerous previews for Cast Members and media.

At Slinky Dog Dash, Andy has assembled his roller coaster kit for maximum family fun. Tracks and supports in bright colors of red, orange, yellow and blue are put together according to Andy’s hand-drawn plans, with Rex and Jessie lending a hand. And to complete his creation, Andy picked up everyone’s favorite floppy-eared dachshund with a strrrrretch-ing slinky coil belly and dropped it on to the coaster track. 

Alien Swirling Saucers will immerse guests in the playful world of Andy’s toys. This galactic space toy is designed as a play set that Andy won at the Pizza Planet restaurant. Adorable little Toy Story green Aliens swirl about in their flying saucers with guests in tow in their rocket-ship toys, while “The Claw” hangs overhead. This space adventure is bathed in music reimagined for intergalactic fun, dappled with multi-color lighting and sound effects from throughout galaxies.

“With set pieces, staging, attractions and experiences Toy Story Land represents the best of Walt Disney Imagineering’s collaboration with our storytelling partners at Pixar Animation Studios,” said Bob Chapek, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts. “This new land will place guests inside the wondrous world of Woody, Buzz and their pals – and invite everyone to experience the joy of being a toy.”

Check out this video for a look at Toy Story Land's three rides - Slinky Dog Dash, Alien Swirling Saucers, and Toy Story Mania.

I would rather see them use the Animation Courtyard for something better than a kids playground area... Work that in adjacent to Toystoryland... Allow the Animation Courtyard to become the hub of a series of attractions based on multiple Disney animation films tied together with a 1940s Toontown-like environment....

I think animation courtyard is a good spot for a new play area. Get rid of Star Wars Launch Bay

I have been thinking the same thing! It is an obvious component to add. Especially since half of the decorations look like you should be able to play on them. Not to mention they got rid of the Honey I shrunk the Kids play area for this whole expansion. Now there’s no play area whatsoever in the park…

A few more flat rides in TSL would be nice, but the lack of a play area is such a glaring missed opportunity. A land filled with oversized toys, but kids can’t even interact with them. A land themed to a backyard, yet you are confined to a single straight-line path and have nowhere to run around. It’s interesting that Universal (“the teen park”) does such a better job than Disney at building immersive playgrounds for little kids.

Last I checked, an Emperor outranks a King. :p

“Are penguins endangered? Because I will send all of my armies of Knocknasheega Little People to make them so if Disney so much as touches the OG Tower of Terror, especially that fiend who deigns to call himself MISTER.” - King Brian of Knocknasheega, directly stated to imagineer97

Tower of Terror to Doctor Strange. Almost no changes except the story from Twilight Zone ghosts to being trapped in the Astral Plane. RnRC to Incredicoaster. Theater of the Stars to GotG Awesome Mix Tape. Add in a Baymax ride using FoP tech, and a Super Kitties Disney Jr. flat ride. In TSL, continuing past the new restaurant, raze the back of house and add in more TSL rides: RC Racers, Army Men parachute drop tower, Critter Carousel, etc...

What a beautiful photo. Nothing like the parks at night, you really dont even have to do anything just look around and enjoy. I think tomorrowland is a hodgepodge of stuff and doesnt look great in the daytime, but at night especially from above either people mover or astro orbitor is STUNNING.

Didn't Universal kind of do that in Islands Of Adventure?

PurduevianFeb 12, 2024

If we are imagineering, I always thought they could make a decent super hero city area with different minilands like Fantasyland. Make it a city like environment and have areas dedicated to the Incredibles, Big Hero six, Guardians, Dr. Strange, possibly additions could be Wakanda and Buzz Lightyear (from the tv show). Obviously people would ask where Iron man was... but it could still make a good land.

Well they couldn't call it Marvel land nor had all the major characters.... so no don't think that would have worked

Well, I do...I just coined a new nickname for the defunct ride.
