The real concerning thing is that while Toy Story Playland looks well suited for the Studios, I don't think it will blend in to well over at the back of Adventureland over in Hong Kong. <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiR9A9eDiA" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...R9A9eDiA</a>

It just seems WRONG *** What makes it worst is that except for two thirds of the Animation attraction nothing else inside the park pays tribute to Walt Disney. With the sudden presence of Pixar perhaps the name should be changed to John Lasseter's Pixar Studios instead. Since after all he's overseeing all this junk being built. *** I thought they did this major study before construction to find somewhere with GOOD weather?!? *** Thats correct but Eisner ignored all the advice to build it in Spain and picked Paris instead.

I'd quite like to see a European version of this highlighting Walt's achievements in Europe. Other than museum style attractions I can't think what else there is? Any thoughts?!!!

(And I'm American). I cant imagine what Europeans think of this rubbish!

The only one of the three TSPL rides to not be seen from the Studios skyline.
