WDS Toy Story Playland : First Videos !



A special preview of Toy Story Playland happened last friday, organised by DLP Imagineering for the families of the workers who built this new "land". As the land opened at sunset for this special evening, you'll see on the videos below the land with night lightings, but you can expect day time videos of TSP very soon - and also longer than the one below.

There we go with the first one showing Buzz Lightyear at the entrance.





Parachute Drop Attraction.




A view of the land from the center.




Two short videos of RC Racer ride.







As you've seen the RC Racer is going back and forth and each time going through the
boarding station. How does it look when you're waiting in the queue? This next video brings the answer.




Another view of the land, filming begin from the blue barrel second entrance.

Many thanks to everyone who shot the videos and posted them on Youtube!

la thematisation est magnifique ! En revanche... les attractions ont l'air tres limitées surtout les parachutes... tout ca pour ca ????

Ce qui est très décevant, à mon gout, c'est de voir qu'une fois de plus Disney ne créé plus de nouveaux concepts. Il s'agit, encore ici, de manèges de foire relookés.

You know... everything about this "land" sucks.
Not only is it ugly and off the shelf but even simple issues such as scale are screwed up.

if we are now in fact shrunk to the size of toys then why is our fellow toy Buzz Lightyear 4 times our size and lording over us like some sort of Greek god?

Doesn't make one bit of sense and reminds me of something I would see at a mall.

I agree. Disneyland Paris needs an E-ticket. But guests have to wait and wait... as always. Every Disney Resort in the world will open new attractions in 2011 & 2012. Every resort except... Disneyland Paris of course!

This is DREADFUL! If they think this is going to pull people in to the park . . . FORGET IT. It looks like a cheap carnival/fair. The level of quality is low just like the rest of this park. How could they think this was an improvement!

Ca vraiment cheap...
Et dire que la prochaine attraction E-ticket sera encore un dark ride sur Ratatouille aux Disney Studios ???? Autant rebaptiser le 2e parc en Pixarland...Y a-t-il autre chose sous le soleil?
Franchement, un dark ride pour le 20e anniversaire... c vraiment décevant sans parler du magic kingdom qui est entrain de mourir sans nouvelle véritable attraction depuis des années...

C drôle car des amis qui ne connaissent pas grand chose aux parcs Disney me disaient justement : on est allé à Disneyland avec les enfants, on a commencé par le "vieux" puis on est allé "au nouveau"... ca veut tout dire.

Y aura-t-il des EMH du 17/08 au 17/09?

What they obviously did here was take the concept of the Bug's Land at California Adventure, itself a bad addition, and over-layed some toys onto it. So the scale is all messed up, most of the area is scaled to guests being the size of BUGS, not toys, but then they stick some static toy statues around and call it a day. What a mess.
And to think they are putting this in Hong Kong as well, what a true shame.

Why are you unhappy? It's just like Fantasyland's carousels. It seems so much more interesting than A Bug's Land because the parisian attractions seems better but not as interesting as Cars Land wich is going to be the best land ever.

Ever heard of the Ratatouille ride? It will probably open... in 2013

I agree this look terribly cheap! Just like bugsland in California and Dinorama in Florida. I sure hope this is not a new strategy from Disney but rather the economic climate.

Is Disney (or should I say Dis'me) ever going to wise-up. This looks like it was done ON THE CHEAP just like DCA and almost everything else in the last 15 years (with the exception of the OLC properties, of course). If DLP is struggling, you'd think that this anemic company would have figured out by now that continuing to do the same lame additions and attractions IS the problem, not the solution. As a fading fan of their theme parks I keep hoping that that things will somehow change; but I am obviously wrong. My disgust with Disney and their insistance on maintaining the same ill-conceived status-quo since the arrogant Eisner era just cannot get a break.

Is the RC car ride built by Intamin? If so, are those the largest (widest) trains they have ever built?
