Hong Kong Disneyland to receive copy of Toy Story Playland
Posted by Kristof on Tuesday, June 30 2009
The first real piece of concept art for Toy Story Playland has finally been revealed, although it won't be for Walt Disney Studios Park!
Disney just released a press release and concept art for its Hong Kong Disneyland expansion plan. This will include a carbon copy of our very own Toy Story Playland.
Expect to see an identical land, only mirrored. The barrel entrance will be located on the Costuming Building side towards the future Ratatouille entrance.
Official press release:
"Andy, the young boy from the Disney·Pixar Toy Story films, has left his toys unattended in this immersive and highly themed environment, based on one of Disney·Pixar’s most popular film series. While Andy is away, the toys come to life and play...and Guests are invited to join!
Key Technology and Creative Elements
• Oversized outdoor rides and photo opportunities allow Guests to experience the different perceptions of scale, and shrink to the size of a toy.
• One attraction includes a shuttle coaster which propels Guests along a U-shaped style track.
• A drop-style parachute attraction lets Guests join a “training mission,” plunging from a 25m tall tower.
• Guests will enjoy fun, immersive and interactive environments with life-size toys.
• A themed food kiosk provides a barrel of fun snacks and refreshments and Guests can shop for Toy Story inspired collectibles at the merchandise location."

First Toy Story Playland plan hits the net!
Posted by Kristof on Saturday, May 16 2009
Fan website Newsdlrp.com got their hands on an overview plan of the upcoming Toy Story Playland expansion.
The plan shows the three proposed attractions (Slinky Dog, RC Racer and the Parachute Tower) among swirling paths. Themed elements like the oversized toys and the covered queue lines are not indicated.
Sources have already informed us that this plan might be dated, since RC Racer would only feature one race track, instead of two, at least that's according to them...
See the plan by Newsdlrp.com here.
