Neuheit 2010: ToyStory Playland

We've been treated to this event more often than usual in recent years, but it's still an exciting moment...

The updated Walt Disney Studios Park map for 2010 has been published, adding Toy Story Playland and its three attractions, changing Backlot Express to Disney Blockbuster Café, changing Rendez-Vous des Stars Restaurant to Restaurant des Stars, switching the positions of Playhouse Disney and Stitch Live! and finally removing the old Studio Tram Tour billboard in favour of the new Hollywood backdrop.

Of course, it's the three new attractions which will be scrutinised the most. We see RC Racer, its height exaggerated above tree heigh rather a lot, Slinky Dog Zig Zag Spin with some of his springs closed, the "Monkeys in a Barrel" tunnel at the back of the land and Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop... with nothing attached to the parachutes!

As far as detail goes, it's surprisingly less precise than the resort map released just the other day, missing the quite substantial queue buildings for Slinky and Toy Soldiers, the giant baseball/Pixar ball and other details. However, Buzz Lightyear still appears prominently at the entrance, with a new Toy Story Playland logo. Unlike other attractions at the park, these three aren't given their own logos. The area will form a sub-land of Toon Studio.

Note also the reconfigured Studio Tram Tour route, which appears to show an airfield scene featuring the planes of the old Pearl Harbor location. In real life, this area is still the "boneyard" of miscellaneous props.
