Disney today announced that Toy Story Land at Disney's Hollywood Studios will open in the Summer of 2018.

In the new land you’ll find yourself shrunk to the size of a toy to explore the world of Andy’s backyard with your favorite Toy Story characters, including Woody and Buzz. And Toy Story Land will feature two new themed attractions.

Slinky Dog Dash will be a family coaster attraction where you’ll zip, dodge and dash around many turns and drops that Andy has created to really make Slinky and his coils stretch to his limits.

Alien Swirling Saucers will also be a new attraction at Toy Story Land. It’s designed as a toy play set that Andy got from Pizza Planet, inspired by the first “Toy Story” film. Aliens are flying around in their toy flying saucers and trying to capture your rocket toy vehicle with “The Claw.”

I kinda wish theyd get rid of the 3rd track for TSM and gut that side of the building, make it an indoor "toybox" themed space with a couple small rides, a new entrance/exit to the land form the pixar alley, and the exit of TSM would put you right into the box whish would be way better than that terrible exit pathway

With TriceraTop Spin getting removed in DAK any chance it'll wind up in TSL as a Trixie-themed spinner?

Thankfully, it was hideous as ToT, too. That thing was born ugly. A few years ago, Rohde just added (way too much) makeup. But, isn’t it what’s on the inside that counts. And I love Mission Breakout.

I’m in DCA now and it’s a beautiful park…except the Avengers Campus and the retheme of Tower of Terror…absolutely awful it stands out so much and makes the park ugly and disjointed.

I like the idea, but judging from the pics I wouldn't want them to clone it. I would like more actual theming inside.

A combined retail and indoor meet and greet building would make too much sense.

they will

A retail location outside of just TSM would be wonderful! If they cloned Shanghai’s small-ish Al’s Toy Barn shop, the land would actually be improved by a lot. Plus, right now, there aren’t many areas to get cover from a thunderstorm and the sun in the land which is definitely needed in Orlando!

Poseidon QuestMar 26, 2023

I suppose not, but the restaurant is a step in the right direction. Hopefully in the future, they'll continue with more buildings in the area for some more retail and indoor meet and greet space. It would go a long way to allowing this land to feel less thrown together.

Could posters please stay on topic which is about one specific land, not the park as a whole? Thank you.

Did they ever complete this Toy Story Land?

It seemed like after every post I made someone always felt the need to deflect from the crux of my argument through whataboutism so I kept responding, so I agree, the debate has gone on longer than necessary. I still stand by my reasoning. 😂 Though, I never said you can't prefer HWS to DCA, but that theming-wise, it is illogical regardless of whether you enjoy it more to say HWS is a prettier park than DCA given the sheer quantity of show buildings that can be seen while criticizing them and other areas at DCA. I laid-out said argument using evidence and not feelings. I actually enjoy Toy Story Land for what it is. I wish it was more exploratory-based than just a single path (that makes the land feel smaller in scope than it actually is), but I like the land. Though, while the new restaurant definitely serves a much-needed purpose, at over $45 a head and with cheap-looking theming (especially for the exterior) I can't say I'm that excited about it compared to a delicious $20 meal at DCA's Lamplight Lounge, but the food looks good! If someone's offended I mean no ill, and if the mods want to delete our lively discussion, feel free! I'm not stopping anyone. ;)

Bruh, enough. Not only are you off-topic, but your dissertations aren’t convincing anybody. Preferring DHS over DCA is a valid opinion. If you don’t mind, some of us would like to discuss the latest addition to Toy Story Land, which this thread is actually about.
