[The Butlin Boy]

I agree it'd be a better "Disney" attraction, but I don't think it'd be good for the area or the park as a whole to just dump another giant building there. The thing that's getting me excited about Toy Story Land is that it'll all be outside, surrounded by trees (as Kristof just said), loads of props, lots of colour, things to walk around, rides to watch. It'll be a good area just to hang around and enjoy the atmosphere.

WDS really needs more of these little fillers all around the park and walk-around areas that make it more fun to explore.

...And don't forget, we ARE (or ahum should be, provided the world doesn't explode) getting a real and EXCLUSIVE proper Disney E-ticket anyway, Ratatouille! I honestly think that one's going to knock TSM out the park, just from hearing the phrases "Ratatouille dark ride" and "Tokyo's Winnie the Pooh ride system".

There's my flag-waving for Toy Story Land anyway. :mrgreen:

That is a very good way to look at it :mrgreen:

I've just realised something else as well, I don't think it's already been said, but if Toy Story Land opens in 2010 like it probably will, then it should open at around the same time as Toy Story 3 is released in cinemas. So perhaps some of these mysterious ride concepts, and the land itself, will tie in with TS3 :-k

has anyone any idea of how much forest will go? I know the size was listed, but how much of the forest is that? Half of it? Also, when it's said that the forest will be intergrated intothe new land, does that mean in bits, inside the land, not just the outskirts?

 now here's a thought, didn't I read somewhere that toy story3 may have a story line about Andy going to camp? Or am I just making up possible theming here!!

Toy Story 3';s concept and story Arc follows Buzz and Woody... and others As Andy leaves them behind at a Day Care as he toodles off to college, as the boy has grown up, meanwhile Rex and Hamm go exploring to find their long lost Twins! But then thats for another Part of the forum... and I'm not entirely sure if that be correct!  :wink:

We with the forest could be looking at Buzz, Hamm, Slinky, Rex & Potato Head make their way to Al's Toy Barn... going through the hedgerows, which allowed for the Bug's Life 2 spoof! It could be Sid's Backgarden too that Imagineers use to theme the land... or would the sight of Mutalated Kids Toy's Scare the Pants of everyone... I know it w :oops: uld me

So if they do move the actual road, where will the tram go when it comes out of Costuming?

[RnRCj]

Does anyone know if the tram tour station will be moved during this project? If not, then it's going to have to make a damn sharp left turn out of that station.

Also, is there any idea when we could hear some official news of the future plans?

I presume it won't go through there anymore. It'll probably go back along a new route.

[phantom247]

Talk backstage over the last year had been of a totally new costuming building replacing the existing building so that this building or land could be incorporated in future development.

[Hathaway Browne]

^That would make sense. Its a big plot of land it occupies - it would be better served for an attraction.

Good point on the sharp turn RnRcj - the trams haven't exactly got a small turning circle.

A masterplan does exist for WDS that in fact shows the tram route going behind the forest and the Costuming building taken over by an attraction or restaurant, but that's not going to happen just yet.  And things change quite fast over at Imagineering, 'cause that very same plan did not show Toy Story Land at all.  :wink:

Lol, sounds promising.

Anyone got any suggestions as to when this and any other projects may be announced?

Well if they're not going to do a "one off" announcement, I'd imagine they'd probably do it at the AGM.

The following pic was released by DisneyActu:

[RnRCj]

Ooo exciting! I shall definitely have a closer look at this tomorrow!

Could this be the start of construction?

[Owain]

The following pic was released

I used google translate to see what the writing said above the photo;

Yesterday morning, surveyors took measurements at the hill behind the station Studio Tram Tour. This morning, fences took place at exactly the same place!

So coincidence or confirmation of recent rumors?

The future (near) will tell ...

Well all i no is that this is definatly once step closer to the next exspansion  

[Kristof]

Could this be the start of construction?

Yes of course!  First phase has started: removal of the trees and the re-routing of the Studio Tram Tour road.

Does anyone else remember the "Toilets of Terror"?  :mrgreen:
