Another of the areas that are being developed in HS is the Toy Story Land which is set in the back yard of Andy. It involved 11 acres and is planned to open late 2018. The rides will consist of the already present Toy Story Mania, Slinky Dog Dash (a family friendly coaster), and Alien Swirling Saucers (whip ride system).
Disney Parks Blog reports on the updates and announcements made during this year's D23 Expo.
In 2018, guests will be shrunk to the size of a toy to explore the world of Andy’s backyard with some of your favorite Toy Story characters, including Woody and Buzz. And Toy Story Land will feature two new themed attractions.
Slinky Dog Dash will be a family coaster attraction where guests zip, dodge and dash around many turns and drops that Andy has created to really make Slinky and his coils stretch to his limits.
Alien Swirling Saucers will also be a new attraction at Toy Story Land. It’s designed as a toy play set that Andy got from Pizza Planet, inspired by the first “Toy Story” film. Aliens are flying around in their toy flying saucers and trying to capture your rocket toy vehicle with “The Claw.”

Think I love ALL of this already.....wish it would be up like NOW
second star to the right and straight on till morning
From what I have read it will be similar to the Seven Dwarves in terms of ride/experience with different theming, so I would say more family coaster than either Kid or Adult.
I apologize for not posting this earlier but Slinky Dog arrived at Hollywood Studios back on August 30th and had been running through tracks tests ever since. Here are some pictures of the Slinky Dog trains:
Rex has been added to Toy Story Land in the middle of the Slinky Dog ride. The first picture is the model of Toy Story Land showing where Rex is and the second picture show the real-life placement of Rex.
I posted the other day that Rex had arrived at Toy Story Land. Well, Jessie arrived yesterday. She is placed near the Slinky Dog ride and Rex. In the picture in the previous post, you see a green "block" near Rex's tail that has hole in the side and the top cut out, that is where Jessie is being placed.

amazing how they build a ride. Even more amazing when you think of it how they come up with a movie like this. The toys bring back old memories, mostly my children's toys, but some were around when I was young also.

NO FASTPASS+ for Toy Story Mania from April 9, 2018 - May 7, 2018. This is due to the construction and moving of the main entrance of Toy Story Mania from Pixar Place to Toy Story Land. Since the construction needed to move the entrance, there has been, and will continue to be, extra long wait times for Toy Story Mania.
Just be aware of this if you are planning a trip to HS in the near future.
