Arrrows point to new entry point to DHS as well as new parking lots under construction.



A look at the foundation for the Star Wars Battle attraction. Steel is set aside likely meaning vertical construction will begin soon.

Hmmmm...I've been wondering if they'll get Toy Story Land opened by next summer. There's certainly a ton of work to do, but they are already laying down track. being not an overly complicated land I COULD see it being done in 12 months. I wonder if D23 will specify dates a little better.

If you look closely you can see theming elements going in.

My guess is this could be done within 12 months looking at the latest pictures. This is a far less complicated project than Avatar and when you consider the pace of progress once that went vertical - in recent years Disney seem to drag their heels during the early stages of construction and really ramp it up towards the final stages. Shanghai and Avatar fit that pattern for sure.

Also, the spinner is CLEARLY going to be a near-clone of Mater's Junkyard Jamboree. Which is actually just fine because there is no other ride like that in all of WDW and it's a lot of fun.

With Pandora completed I can imagine focus moving to Toy Story land and it being complete within a year. Once the rides are build I think the theming will be put into place quite quickly

My thinking is what's going to happen after Star Wars land because I believe Hollywood Studios still needs a lot of work and a name change

I've said it before in various threads I don't think there's enough ride volume in these expansions to handle the droves that'll show up for Star Wars.

 

[Lee Matthews]

Defiantly not. That corner of the park is going to be so insanely busy and they need to spread that out of the park.

I guess Animation Courtyard is going to get a total rehab as launch bay will go. I'd imagine that area can easily closed off and worked on after Toy Story is open (maybe after Star Wars)

Then you have the area of Star Tours and Indiana jones. Star Tours will go and the stunt show may be updated or replaced with a ride. This area I think will be left till last.

Then there's sunset boulevard which is a total mid match of rides and themes. If ToT is staying as is, then they need to theme this area better as RnR, ToT and BATB doesn't really mix

Toy story will be done by this time next year.

Toy story will be done by this time next year.

That's what I was thinking looking at where the progress is. The question on everyone's mind here I'm sure is, will it be open by May 5-12 when I'm there! I'm starting to think they may have it open by the spring break season.

Probably another late May opening for summer.

Is the Pixar area going to be something else now that toy story land is opening and the entrance to mania is moving to inside the new land?
