Quote from: "Japper"Well, why build multiple toy story rides/themed areas when some other important movies don't have a ride? Like the little mermaid, beauty and the beast (!!!!), 101 Dalmatians, Winnie the Pooh, The Lion King, Wall-E...

They could build excellent new rides with those movies..

Really?? I loved the original idea for the mermaid ride, it's my favourite film. I would love it if they made an Ariel themed ride, even they didn't go with the original concept :lol:

Been thinking about the Half pipe coaster/Disk-O/Rockin' Tug/Whatever.
DLRP and Disney in general have a good relationship with Vekoma. Could they be thinking about using the Vekoma version of the Half Pipe? Never been built anywhere else in the world and instead of a launch it uses a chain system.

This laughing place article speaks of up to 5 attractions. I just believe at the tree mentioned before but what could other attractions for this area be?

so, surely at some point in the future Toy Story Land will get Toy Story Mania right? it seems to have been a massive success in the american parks.

I really hope not. Even more Toy Story is baaaaad. :sick:

Hathaway Browne · September 27, 2008, 05:38:52 PM

^Why? If its placed in Toystoryland then there's no problem. Mania is a proven hit that would do WDS the world of good.

Anthony · September 27, 2008, 07:05:08 PM

I don't think there are any solid plans or proposals to add Toy Story Midway Mania to Toon Studio. As far as we know, the current proposal is a Toy Story mini-land of several (likely three) small flat rides with a large-scale Ratatouille dark ride "anchoring" the land a few years later. Not TSMM.

Has it really been a massive success??? I have read that the DCA version hasn't had much of an impact on the park attendance.

Am I the only one who finds the whole TSM concept really boring? It's like going to a theme park and playing arcade games all day, at least Buzz Lightyear is an actual dark ride with a story. I would much rather see the technology used for something more interesting like the Monsters Inc ride being built in Tokyo.

I can't wait for the Ratatouille ride, the more I hear about it the more I think it is going to be something truly special. I just hope that by then they have turned the area into 'Pixar Place' and come up with a more cohesive theme.

I agree. TSM doesn't really appeal to me. I like a dark ride where I can get lost and feel like I've been transported into another place, with surprises around every corner. TSM just has a really basic layout and it seems very repetitive.

We've only just got Buzz Lightyear anyway. We don't need another Toy Story themed interactive dark ride.

I just wanted to say that I rode such a skateboard-ride-type last Friday, but in a much smoother/softer way than the example in the video I guess

!

When I looked at the video-example on the first page, I thought: THIS thing in a more child-themed land? I'd never go on it!!!

But the wheelride I rode in the Movie Park Germany last week was so amazing, my heart was beating so fast while queueing, when this fast thing rushed for- and backwards next to us, with the people on it screaming :mrgreen: It was already dark, and because of the fact that "our" wheel was pretty big and the ride was more like a wave than a "U", the spinning wasn't bad at all!

Here's a video of it, but it becomes much faster when it's over the little hill in the middle:

I really hope that WDS will, if this attraction's not only a rumour, prefer the Movie Park type of ride instead of such a big "U"

are you refering to the crazy surfer nala???

Nala_84 · October 16, 2008, 09:36:01 PM

Yes I am.... sorry, the link worked before, but now it doesn't :shock: But yeah, I meant the Crazy Surfer :mrgreen:

DaltonTerror posted a picture on the Themepark.nl forum which shows certain marks in the Studio Tram Tour. Can these be marks for construction?

Kristof · November 09, 2008, 11:14:39 PM

Remco, I merged your topic with the Toy Story Land topic since they are related.

I also want to add this...

A permit to cut 3.9900 ha of the forest...

The permit is posted on the construction announcement board across the police building.
