Today we an updated look at Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

All of the main structures are now in place, and work is continuing on adding theming elements to the Slinky Dog Coaster, and the roof is going on Alien Swirling Saucers.

The image below shows the latest progress on the piece-by-piece removal of Sound Stage 4 (top left corner), which was the former home to the Captain Jack Sparrow attraction. This area will ultimately become the entrance to Toy Story Land.

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?

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.

We don’t call it “Cali.”

They should’ve done a Marvel land (with the characters they can use in FL) instead of TSL. TSL is one of the most out of place lands in any park at WDW.

TSL was supposed to have more, but it went under the knife during construction...maybe it would have been a better addition...I know if Alien Swirling Saucers had been built indoors with a true Outer Space setting and included an attached Pizza Planet overlooking the ride, it would have been So-o much better...add a few of the flat rides they have designed for other TSL incarnations around the world and it just might be an engaging land...
