New US Toy Story Land, new memories
Print Edition
FOR children of the mid-1990s, Disney’s new Toy Story Land offers the opportunity to visit the imaginary world they grew up in. For their parents, it brings back sweet memories of a magical time of toys and make-believe.
And for everyone else, the new theme park offers a whimsical experience from the moment a nearly 6-meter-tall statue of Sheriff Woody welcomes guests as if they are honorary toys in Andy’s backyard.
Toy Story Land has opened to the public recently at Disney’s Hollywood Studios just outside Orlando.
Visitors will find other favorite characters — Sheriff Woody, Buzz Lightyear, Jessie, Slinky Dog, Mr Potato Head and the Green Army Patrol. Once inside, guests “magically make a transition,” appearing to become equal in size to a toy because of the scale of the attractions, said Dave Minichiello, executive creative director of Toy Story Land. The movie’s Green Army Men are called the Green Army Patrol here. They have been updated to be more inclusive and diverse.
The park features primary colors and larger-than-life versions of classic toys like Rubik’s Cube, colorful Cootie bugs, Scrabble letters, building blocks and Tinkertoys. There are also benches built from Lincoln Logs. “We wanted to make this for all generations,” Minichiello said. “As you walk through you’ll probably discover a lot of toys you played with as a child.”
