Thanks for the visual whoknew?, certainly helps. And of course it does bring up the question of the Tram Tour road - I doubt they'll re-route it, so the only other solution is a bridge.

So they've pretty much got a permit to remove the entire forest... crazy. But will they actually remove all those trees, or did they just want to get permission to do whatever they want with the space?

No, they will easily be able to re-route it. The first part will be re-routed a bit closer to the forest anyway for this expansion, and the station was originally meant to be far from permanent.

The new route is supposed to go behind the forest and go in reverse through Catastrophe Canyon and yes the current station as Anthony  said has always been intended to be dismantled and removed in a few days.

Really? Well thats quite cool! I've actually had that idea of it going behind the forest since we first heard this rumour, but I thought it was a bit ambitious for it to really happen. Obviously not! :lol:

The removal of the trees should be great! It will definitely balance out the park a little more. If the forest had to stay completely we would have park with the majority of it's attractions on the left side, and it wouldn't have the lovely symmetricalness (new word!) that DLP has.


(I'm still going  :-# at the Toy Story idea, by the way.)

ive just got back and can tell you that the trees that are going to be felled look like they are already marked. i hope my pics have come out but just in case they havent, just as you pull out of the tram station and before the dinotopia set the trees nearest the road have red and white hazard tape around their trunks and there are more green markers and pink ones too which im guessing are marking out the expansion area/s

Source?

Yeah, the tape was strapped around those trees a few months ago:

Hey folks,

oh wow really great news, i hope we will see in the near future some works...
DLRP need an expansion as quickly as possible...

and i argee with RnRCj, it´s really better to remove all the trees to palance these park out!!

Kristof please don't ask silly questions such as source as if you want the people who told me about this to loose their jobs I would say you need to tell everybody your sources as well only gessing but none of us want Eurodisney SCA, TWDC or WDI employees to loose their jobs over a fan forum.   All I can say on the new Tram route some of what is planned looks very good but is continuly being tweeked in Glendale CA.

[Japper]

Just an idea: Why don't they replace the 3 fair rides and the whole Toy Story land with Toy Story Mania?

Just as effective, same capacity and a much better 'Disney' attraction!

*really really really hopes they do that *

I don't think it's an unfair question to ask when someone posts a major news like that?

Doubt that would happen to be  honest, TSM is too similar to Laser Blast.

And i agree with Kristof, we just want to know what the source is just to be sure it isn't made up.  Stops people then posting stuff like "SPLASH MOUNTAIN COMING TO DLRP IN 3 YEARS TIME!!" with no proof

"SPLASH MOUNTAIN COMING TO DLRP IN 3 YEARS TIME!!"

Really, awesome I can't wait :mrgreen:

...with no proof

Oh, never mind :oops:

 :wink:    :lol:

[Kristof]

Regarding the forest, it will not be cut down completely (obviously).  The Tram Route between the Station and Dinotopia will be re-routed to allow more room for Toy Story Land and Ratatouille.  The people I spoke with were very proud of the fact that WDS is the only Disney park in the world that has a real forest within its berm, so they think it would be wrong to cut it down completely.

Oh and the forest will be integrated in the design of Toy Story Land.

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:

[Nala_84]

Hm... don't know if I understood correctly *g*: So the Toy Story Land will be surrounded by trees? And will it be a new theme land or will it obviously belong to Toon Studio?!
Really curious how it will look like !
