Quote from: "Anthony"As for the images... well, at least the yellow track does look like proper Hot Wheels-style track, not bare steel coaster supports as feared for months.

But this is just concept art and not a plan. I doubt they'd show the bare supports.

Quote from: "Anthony"I'm surprised to see that the Parachute Drop is shown with only two people per parachute, though. From one plan it had looked like there might be 3 seats, but obviously not. Two words: Capacity nightmare. The whole thing. We've said it before and we'll be saying it for the next 6 months.

Again, this is just concept art. So let's hope there will be three seats in reality. [-o<

Quote from: "Aveen2008"I really can help but dread this whole thing. Even that concept art looks really bad in my humble opinion. Is DLP definately getting this?

Yes. And why does it look bad in your opinion?

to me anyway it looks cheep and dose not look much like a Disney type thing i know that the world is having financial problems etc but surly they can come up with something better?

The capacity of the rides will be shocking, that side of the park is going to be a nightmare.

There is not one ride on that side of the park that eats people. The queues will be a nightmare!
The highest capacity ride will probably be Slinky Dog's ride, and thats only around 1,500 pph.

There should be at least one or two rides that goes nearly 2,000 pph.

Hopefully that'll be Ratatouille when it comes...

Are there any new building pictures?

There's nothing there yet, just mud.

Vertical construction will start by the end of the year.

First visible progress!

I can't tell - have the gates been fixed in position there? If so, why?

bigrossco · July 27, 2009, 03:40:00 PM

maybe jsut a gate for CM's and service vehicles for when the area opens?

Anthony · July 27, 2009, 04:09:50 PM

But look back at the plan of the area, and shouldn't they be further to the right, closer to costuming?

bigrossco · July 27, 2009, 04:42:13 PM

who knows?

penfold12 · July 27, 2009, 07:17:37 PM

Is that the costuming building behind the area? Also, what are those large cranes in the background working on?

This is the most depressing Disney project since Primevil Whirl - bad form.

Yes. And why does it look bad in your opinion?

It's just my opinion but it looks like something that has been fired together, the concept art looks anything but magical and just looks like a mismash of stuff put together for the sake of having more rides. I just thought disney had more magic and imagination than this. I think that vertical ride that from the concept art looks like a piece of cheap steel sticking up looks awful... I hope that it will look better in real life but in my opinion something that is just a thrill ride and lacks any real imagination and detail belongs in Alton towers or Astrix not a Disneyland park!

The only way this is going to come out good is if Toy story land is very well put together and attention to detail is paid and even then I just dread this extention! I feel like they are adding things without any real thought to the magic of disney but just to put it there for the sake of it!

I hope I am wrong though I really do.
