The paper copy has been replaced with a permanent sign:


And, the Single riders queue has moved to now being alongside the normal queue line:

Ohh, I hate it when DLP reverse-Imagineers its attractions like this almost as soon as they open, with temporary queue barriers and signs which have obviously never been anywhere near WDI Burbank. The same happened at Crush's Coaster but it seems to have hit Toy Story Playland particularly badly - the empty RC photo location, the unthemed and patronising "SORTIE >>>" barriers throughout the land, signs and notices printed out from Microsoft Publisher...

The colour Single Rider sign is an improvement, obviously, but it probably now means this design is permanent. Compare it to the real attraction signage: http://www.photosmagiques.com/gallery/w ... C06512.JPG

Like pairing a cheap tie with your €70m suit.

The single rider line looks temporary, so hopefully it will not stay that way. The queue looks really terrible.

Can you join this single rider queue without having to join the normal queue? Like you do at Alton Towers etc?

Now that I've actually been on Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop I can offer my honest opinion of it.

- At 10:58 in the morning it had about a 20 minute queue
- The queueing area was kind of fun, although perhaps a little bit bare and lacking in entertainment/video
- The ride itself was really fun. Great physical sensation that left you smiling
- The views from the top of the tower were good. Shame the WDS park has so much scaffolding and tarmac though

So despite the tower itself being probably the most ugly structure at any Disney theme park in the World, the ride is actually a fun addition to the park. I'd definitely like to ride it again. I wouldn't queue for any more than, say, 30 minutes for it though.

[Martyn]

I'd like to queue probably at least once, but I'd imagine after that, it will be single rider each time.

The Parachutes recently got a brand new NON Slippery floor . This is completely different from the original Green Floor but at least they re open daily even in a very very cold weather .

[Martyn]

^ Is the new floor still green?

[Festival Disney]

No, it's black... they look like temporary mats anyway, so should be gone in summer :lol:

I still remember the end of BTM's major rehab a few years a
go when the ride broke down and had to be evacuated four times on its busy opening saturday. When BTM's evacuated it generally means that it's down for an hour or two at least. .

Oh, does BTM not break down just as often now as it did then? We were there this time last hear and I seem to remember seeing it evacuated a good few times. Mabey it was just the sub zero temperatures though.

I quite like this new floor, I think the dark colour actually helps to make the ride look a bit more 'toy' like! If they keep it at all, then I don't think it'd be a bad thing!

[Martyn]

I dont see why they couldn't have just redone the surface with that non-slip stuff, then paint over it.

[15MagicalYears]

Sorry if it has already been posted but does anyone know what the new surface is for?

[Festival Disney]

The original floor is just painted concrete so it's really slippy, especially in winter so I think they've added this just to give more grip and probably H&S.
