Quote from: "davewasbaloo"I am not sure Stacers. I have been able to ride every attraction Disney has ever made, except RC RAcer. But I am 6 ft 2, have broad shoulders and a 48 inch waist.

It's an interesting point really. The average UK male now has a waist size of 37inch, female of 34inch. As people get bigger, ride technology is going to have to learn to adapt to that somehow. The only ride at the park that I knew was mentioned as not being suitable for certain body types was Crush.

Conversely, I'm only 5'3", size 10/12 with a 27.5inch waist - I rattle around terribly in some restraints!

i have found that i do that on big rides too... im only small as well, 5'2" size 8/10 and i rattle aorund something terible on some rides in DLRP namely SM, RnRC and indy (i think that has more to do with the rides than my size though because they are quite rough in general

You are right that SM:MII and Indy are rough, but in my opinion RnRC is very smooth compared to SM and Indy. I have never had problems with RnRC.

yeah RnRC is the least bumpy for me, indy and SM are high on the list for the roughest for me, but i do get shaken around a bit on RnRC... i think thats because i am quite small compared to most people lols

Recently, i had the pleasure of trying out the new rides in toy story playland and enjoyed it.

Walking through the land and observing andy's toys as you walk through, i thought the fine details were typical disney and very good.

RC Racer is very similar to a Mary Rose type ride you find at all theme parks, swings backwards and forwards.

Slinky was a ride more for little kids, again it was clever how it incorporated slinky himself and it was a mini carousel that goes up and down, round and round.

Wheras my favourite was the parachute drop ride. You're strapped in by a seatbelt and an overhead bar and your taken up and dropped 4 times by the voices of the toy story soldiers. When you hear the soldiers say "Go Go Go", you disappointed as this is your last drop.
I loved this ride so much that i went on it 3 times, average waiting time was 45 minutes.You get a good view whilst on the ride and a great feeling when your belly drops. The long wait was due to loading people and offloading, cast members far too slow. On one occassion, it said the waiting time was 45 minutes but we timed it as 25 minutes - need to sort the waiting times out DLRP all the way across the parks.

It's just my opinion  :D

Could you really even see Parachute Drop that clearly from Disney Bros Plaza?

The curves of the trimming on that new roof line don't seem very smooth. It looks kind of crumpled in comparison to the smooth circles and straight lines of the original building below.

I can't remember seeing it from the Disney Bros Plaza, but it was and I'm sure it still is clearly visible from in front of ToT. I hope that Disney will do something against this as well.

At least they have realised that its a bit of an eye sore, so hopefully after a while, a lot more will be done to cover it up.

C'mon guys you should all be pleased at this news really!
