This looks like a very fun ride! Can't wait until it opens!

A few questions:
Does anyone know:
-when they will begin to build the walls around Crush's Turtle Twister?
-how long it will take to build them?

Laroquine posted on DCP that work on the walls behind the coaster has been started.

I guess in reality it shouldn't take long at all for them to be completed, but it depends on whether they're wanting to add in any of the scenery and props beforehand...  Some things like the submarine on the lift hill must surely need to be put in before the roof goes on at least, right?  :?

I didn't remember whether I've already asked it or not:

Will the Turtle Twister have Fast Pass?

[Anthony]

It's not on the plans which were leaked last year, and with the capacity being quite low already, I doubt they'll use it.  It would be good to have it, but Fastpass can cause more problems than it solves - it doesn't add capacity, it just shortens some waits and causes a lot of hassle.  It'd be a similar situation to Peter Pan's Flight actually, with fastpass tickets gone within hours and massive queues for the normal line all day long.  I know I might regret this if I'm waiting hours for the ride next year, but I think they made the right decision here.

I reckon at the end of 2007 we'll have Rock N Roller Coaster and Tower of Terror as the only fastpass attractions, and then when they've completed the redo/extension/re-arrangement of the Tram Tour they'll add it back in there as well... just a guess though. :wink:

Indeed, there will be no fastpass for Crush's Turtle Twister.

Baloo, the Flying Carpets have Fast Pass too  :wink:

Does anyone know if there will be on-ride photography on Turtle Twister? :nemo:

[Kristof]

I don't think there will, since there was no shop mentioned on the Toon Studios plans.

Yeah, but will they continue using it?  It's been closed on my last few visits, and on that busy weekend in April the queue for the Flying Carpets was at a steady 5 minutes!

It's quite disappointing that Turtle Twister won't have a shop or on-ride photos really.  They should have tried to at least add some kind of small shop, it's going to be such a popular attraction...

Maybe it's difficult to make an onride pic when the cars are spinning? But it would be cool to have a shop in this area of the park. I am convinced that a small shop related to Finding Nemo/Cars or just random Disney/Pixar merchandising would be extremely popular.

Is it really clear that there won't be a photo/merchandise shop at the Toon Stuios/Crush's Turtle Twister?

Well, it can't really be that difficult to take a picture on a spinning coaster coz they do that at "Winja's Fear & Force" in Phantasialand (Germany)--also a spinning coaster with darkride sections of the Maurer Söhne

Nothing is mentioned on the plans about a shop.
