Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion ThreadI looked up Slinky Dog on FB just to see what people are saying, and yesterday it was a 7 hour wait at one point. That's just insane
Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion ThreadIt's the new hotness with one of the most recognizable, popular I.P.s, that's just what happens. I think Canada Bill (Nrthwnd) posted a photo of Tokyo DisneySea's Toy Story Mania with a 400 (!!) minute standby time, while it absolutely sucks beyond all manner of comprehension it's not exactly unprecedented.
People (especially fans) will do anything to get the imaginary "I was first" medallion. I'll bet that some families even planned their vacation around being there at Toy Story Land's opening. I'm certainly a little disappointed that they didn't do an early passholder preview but it's really no big deal. In my opinion the people who might not get to experience the park ever are just a little bit more important than I am, considering I can go whenever I want 48 weeks out of the year... ![]() Data entry nut for the official TPR coaster poll! https://coasterpoll.com/ The opinions that I post on this forum do not necessarily represent those of the company I work for. Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion ThreadThe swirling saucers ride looks pretty fun. It looks like a modern take on the classic whip ride but maybe not as much of the "whipping" action that you get on the whips? Has anyone been on a ride with this type of ride system that can comment on how similar the experience is to like a classic whip? Either way it still looks fun, and the themeing of it all is really impressive.
Also just a comment, but as much as Disney has pushed the next gen interactive ques in recent years I'm kind of surprised that those concepts didn't make it into Toy Story land (unless I missed it in the preview videos). Seems like a buzzer system with an indoor playground similar to Dumbo would have been perfect for Swirling Saucers, especially considering that this thing will probably have a consistent 30-45 minute wait even after the "newnes" dies off. Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion Thread
It's the same as the Cars Junkyard Jamboree at DCA - just with a different theme. It is quite an intense whip ride for Disney to be honest, nowhere near classic whips, but considering its a family/kids ride, it's pretty good, you get a pretty sharp "whip" action ![]() Adventures in Airtime Theme Park Podcast:

And after seeing it, I am convinced that this attraction will be A BIG SURPRISE among everything that we know about (incl. Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge), opening in the next few years. ![]() Last edited by Nrthwnd on Tue Jul 03, 2018 6:24 pm.
Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion Thread
Yeah, it's interesting how often that attraction type has been used in such a short time. This will be the third one. Mater's Junkyard Jamboree was the first, Woody's Roundup at Shanghai Disneyland is the second, this will be the third. If concept art is any indication, the system will be showing up at Tokyo Disneyland and Walt Disney Studios Paris in a few years, making five total. It's basically the next Dumbo The Flying Elephant. ![]() Data entry nut for the official TPR coaster poll! https://coasterpoll.com/ The opinions that I post on this forum do not necessarily represent those of the company I work for. Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion Thread^ I agree, the recent art concept of Disney Studios Paris' future expansion shows,
they just might get a clone of the Swirling Saucers! P.S. I do think though, that somehow, that little Cars Rally ride (I forget the French name) opposite Crush's Coaster, was a second step (2007) in creating these new whip-like attractions. Taking the basic carnival ride (as that is) and then expanding it into.... what they're creating and building now. Francis' Ladybug Boogie at DCA was the first version (2002) of this. So this should count, too. Just a 5 cent thought, here. ![]()
Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion ThreadRecently I went on a Disney Trip because my school was apart of Candlelight Processional! I vlogged everyday cause we went to every park (excluding the water parks, and Magic Kingdom's footage I lost.)

Re: WDW Disney's Hollywood Studios Discussion Thread
There's another factor at play here: Disney Cast Members are told to use between a 1:1 ratio and a 4:1 ratio favoring the FP+ line over the stand-by line at their discretion. But the higher the wait time, the more likely they are to go to a complete 4:1 ratio to make sure that they drain the FP+ line ASAP. So consider that your stand-by line is being throttled by about 5x compared to if FP+ didn't exist. This actually only refers to WDW so I can't speak to how the FP+ works at other Disney parks outside of Orlando. I'd assume that the different variations of Fast Pass most likely also use the 4:1 ratio. The takeaway is that Disney these days lives and dies by those Fast Passes. If you can get good ones, you can get on some rides. If you miss out on them, expect to wait a lot longer in the stand-by. Return to Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
