And just to get the free shipping costs per pound for stuff that size doesnt it ? ;)

For me, just seeing K'Nex pieces in DHS makes me happy, my brother grtew up with k'nex from 1994 to 2005 and introduced me to K'Nex in 1995 and I was hooked. Just seeing K'Nex again makes me smile, does not matter the size either just seeing that Andy plays with K'nex is awesome

I think this is more a symptom of the current shortage of workers combined with these large corporations looking to spread capital spend over multiple years. AK was the last full park Disney built in FL, announced in 1995 and opened in 1998. There is zero chance a 5th gate would take just 3 years to build today. All that being said, it’s not relevant to this discussion about taking years to add some shade. Better late than never I guess.

Wow! I honestly had not realized it had been under construction for over 6 years and that excludes an 8 month stoppage! Color me slightly surprised.

That would be a cool idea for a ride.

For starters, not make the best attraction by a country mile for the new land be one that had existed in that spot for a decade prior and everything else being amusement park style filler? What they did was a little like making a "new" Haunted Mansion land at MK by taking the original attraction, adding a Grim Grinning Ghosts Glider ride based on the Dumbo attraction, and then adding some other carnival-like experiene along with a food kiosk... Like instead of (or in addition to) cloning Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in Epcot, the same concept and ride system could have been used for a Toy Story adventure rather than having the whole land being set up as something that's a little at odds with the pre-existing attraction that anchors it in style and quality.* *And Midway Mania is screen-based in possibly the most extreme way possible so that's a bit of a low bar to begin with.

style wise its cool just not nearly big enough imo. You could have soo many toy themed rides and experiences. I guess im just looking at Isle of berg and thinking what could have been with TSL

What would be a well developed use of the ip? I agree the land is under built but I don’t know what they could really do better style wise.

No. From groundbreaking to opening, it will be 6 years and 4 months. That is excluding the 8 month stoppage due to the pandemic.

Plus, from what I understand, Amazon excludes it from Prime shipping, too.

Out of all the parks with a TSL, we allegedly have the best version. Despite how disappointed most of us were/are with it, this was apparently considered an improvement over what they'd done previously with said IP. ... To be clear, the overall concept of this, in any Disney park anywhere in the world that has it appears to be as a budget filler land rather than a well developed use of the IP. I mean, they knew what they'd done overseas so the bar seems to have already been set low for what they wanted to accomplish here in topping those while still doing it Disney-cheap and apparently they they were successful(?). 🤷‍♂️

Finding K'Nex in that size is very time consuming.

And Universal built an ENTIRE NEW PARK in less than 5 years! If I was Disney, I would be embarrassed as THE theme park leader...Universal is stepping up and MAY take the number 1 position away from Disney...and sad to say, Disney deserves whatever they get!
