filipv Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Just back from the pass holders preview for Toy Story Playland at the Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris. It has become a really beautifull new extension for the Studios, nice attractions and great theming, here are the pictures. At the entrance is a very big Buzz Lightyear is it open yet ????

filipv Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 I have a walkthrough online at the moment, more video's coming.
Groteslurf Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Great coverage Filip. WDS is getting a big park step by step.
RaBbIt2002 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Very nice pictures filipv! The area turned out pretty nice after all.. The only bad thing is the horrible cover up of Gusteau's face on the arch.. They should have left it as it was.
phantomfan93 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Man this looks like a Blast! I wish I could go but I'm stuck in America.
live2tell75 Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Great trip report. I think this looks like a good addition to the park. Hopefully someday I'll get out to Paris. I wouldn't mind seeing Disney's Hollywood Studios adding this area in Florida.
filipv Posted August 15, 2010 Author Posted August 15, 2010 Complete tour of this new part ofthe park: http://vimeo.com/14155216
larrygator Posted August 15, 2010 Posted August 15, 2010 Thanks for the pictures. The area looks great. All they need is f'n Midway Mania now.
bgwfreak777 Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Is that where we flip him to Spanish-speaking Buzz?
Sidra Posted August 16, 2010 Posted August 16, 2010 Wow, really neat looking area. Wish they'd replace Toon Town at Disneyland with that.
window Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 Wow great update! I'm taking my first trip to the DLP resort on September 3rd and was worried this land might not be open. Did you get chance to go on all of rides? What was the weather like during your visit? Matt
filipv Posted August 19, 2010 Author Posted August 19, 2010 These were previews and because of that not too crowded, now it's crowded since it's open since 17-08-2010 The weather is not to nice at the moment, lot's of rain goin on
Sir Clinksalot Posted August 19, 2010 Posted August 19, 2010 I still can't imagine them building a Toy Story Playland and NOT including TSMM. The area looks nice, but honestly it looks like "A Bugs Land" with toy decorations instead of bug decorations.
BaMiTsPaT Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 Those pictures are fantastic! Thank you for posting. It looks almost exactly like the concept art did and I completely forgot that they were adding this!
window Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I still can't imagine them building a Toy Story Playland and NOT including TSMM. It is a shame they didn't include TSMM. I didn't ride it when I visited MGM (yeah yeah I know...) in 2008 and it would have been good to experience it in Paris. Maybe they will add it in the future?
DBJ Posted August 20, 2010 Posted August 20, 2010 I think that's exactly where the concept does go wrong. TSMM should be the center of the "land" and the other carnival-esque rides should be the added bonus. Paris and Hong Kong clearly did not include TSMM because of budget. Reminds me a lot of Bugs Land at DCA. Visually well executed, but the actual rides aren't really high on the entertainment scale. Kind of a patch until the big budget ride shows up. Ideally, in the future, wherever there is a TSMM, Toy Story Land should be incorporated into the area and vice versa. As it appears at DLP, it is a vibrant and colorful install. The pics are quite nice too! Thanks for the video.
andy2840 Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 Makes me wanna get on a plane and go! Probably have to stand in line all day for RC Racer...20 riders at a time? Jeez!
