UPDATED: IT'S HAPPENING!! Star Wars, Toy Story officially coming to DHS! Plus new Soarin'!

[Cannot_Wait_4Disney]

I'm looking forward to an exquisitely themed Millenium Falcon midway spinner, myself.

Mount 4 person sims to a primeval whirl chassis and away we spin!!!!!

...and therein lies the problem. There is no original! It's all computer generated fiction.

Conforming to the original... the SW world of the films. That makes perfect sense!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

They're updating Star Tours w/elements from Episode VII "later this year"... per current panel at D23. Also updating JTA.

Announcing "Star Wars: Season on the Force" event in early 2016 in both parks.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

DL Space Mountain becoming "hyperspace mountain"... I assume temporarily for the event...?

New custom fireworks show for the event in Orlando.

Toy Story Land coming to DHS!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Just mentioned bringing "Toy Story Land" to DHS... comparing it to Cars Land "level of immersion"... "shrunk to the size of Woody and Buzz in Andy's backyard". 2 attractions "NEW TO ANY DISNEY PARK": claw ride, and "family coaster".

This is WAY BETTER than just adding some little mini-attractions!

 

[Aurora0427]

It is almost a sure thing that this is what we will be getting. I am excited about the immersive scenery a la Radiator Springs, but I am not nearly as moved by the prospect of experiencing motion simulator rides.

I agree.. I probably won't be able to ride anything, unless they come out with something as gentle as Soarin!

 

[andyman8]

Claw ride and family coaster are part of DHS's new TSL!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

All of the upcoming stuff to parks sounds so exciting!! I just want to see a timeline so I can plan our next 10 trips right now!!

"Pandora: The World of Avatar"... AK at night... Star Wars Land... and now a REAL Toy Story Land!! VERY COOL STUFF!!

They just brought James Cameron out! Lots of new concept art. Official name: Pandora - World of AVATAR (not land).

The Flight of Passage is the name of the flying banchee ride.

ANIMAL KINGDOM IS GOING TO BE AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Delirium]

Here's roughly 14 acres.

This really puts Muppets in more jeopardy than I thought...

Not really, one of Disney's 'new' attractions will simply be swapping out Sweetums with Chewbacca in the existing Muppets show, and retitling it Wookie & Friends.

There's the 50th anniversary celebration coming up. Figure that's going to drive a big fraction of the upcoming development.

 

[cigar95]

Andyman, can I just say - great job of what looks to be live, on-the-scene reporting.

(And it doesn't hurt that the news itself is also pretty exciting stuff.)

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

I must say... I'm a SW FANATIC... love Toy Story, and have always been "meh" about the movie Avatar. Hearing all of these plans, I am THRILLED TO SEE ALL OF THEM!!!

I'm such a Disney dork... wow!

 

[Planogirl]

So far I'm more excited about Avatar than Star Wars. Fourteen acres seems pretty small and the potential loss of the Muppets is sad. I'll keep an open mind though. For now.

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

to @andyman8!!!

 

[MickeyMinnieMom]

Robert Downey Jr?? What?? Are they messing with people??
