The others got involved because there was discussions about the DHS TSL being the best done, which is very relevant. There was a comparison of 3 flat rides at others to a coaster, dark, and flat ride. I was pointing out that was not correct, and that those others have a coaster, drop, and flat instead of just 3 flats, and those are done in spaces significantly smaller than what DHS takes up.

Gotta think some of the IPs from Stitch, Moana, Inside Out and Incredibles will be getting attractions in the next projects after VL. We all loved that Moana AK blue sky artwork.

I don't expect it to be a thrill ride for adults. But it is disappointing IMO that Slinky isn't nearly as good as 40+ year-old Thunder Mountain. This is my kids' preference as well. Thunder Mountain is multi-ride attraction for them, whereas Slinky is a toss-up.

The easy layup would have been theming it to Stitch. I'm sure they're somewhat regretting they didn't.

At least they are improving that. I’m guessing replacing with Ralph was an option (like they are doing at one of the global parks) but ROI was too favorable to keep TS IP in place.

LOL. I hear ya, and his video isn't groundbreaking and he seems to be biting his tongue a lot. But I thought it was a decent video.

Since we're airing grievances about TSL, my biggest complaint about is that it didn't kill Space Ranger Spin in Tomorrowland. Tomorrowland needs a complete overhaul, and the extra space would could have added some cool things. Now with the refurb, SRS will last another 20 years.

Layout issues for sure, but it’s still a fam favorite spot.

My 8 year old grandson's favorite ride is Slinky Dog. Cannot go to WDW without him going on it at least 3 times. My biggest complaint is adults who constantly whine that every ride is Not a thrill ride for adults. WDW is a family theme park, which often contains (let me check) children. If anyone wants to complain about TSL they should complain about the lack of shade and benches for us old people.

I think TSL could use the extra attractions but NOT dark rides, I would go for a Critter Carousel and/or a teacups style flat ride themed to Bo Peep and her sheep.

In that respect you are correct, I was talking about Toy Story Land's coaster. According to the title of the thread that is what we were discussing. How China and France got involved is apparently sleight of hand. So let my post be clarified and say that I am now and have been referring to TSL in WDW, no other. It has been ridiculously complained about since it was built. Just like The 7DMT, adults who cannot understand what the targeted audience means. Also for those adults that constantly whine about how one isn't long enough and the other isn't exciting enough for their adult desires my point was no one cares. TSL was designed and built for children to have fun and do it with their parents. Most people know that like advertisements on TV directed at children that the child doesn't have income to buy the stuff but the influence they have on their parents to buy it for them is universal. So if, off topic, you were referring to China or France, sorry for my error of thinking we were still on topic.

I don’t think you do either. The comments were responding to the claim that the half pipe coasters in China and France are flat rides. Nobody thinks they are actually just flat because they’re pretty obviously quite tall. They also have the same effective height requirement as Rock ‘n’ Rollercoaster, so not exactly kiddie territory.
