Models for the new lands being constructed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios will soon be on display at the theme park. Visitors will be able to check out the plans for Toy Story Land, opening in 2018, and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, set to debut in 2019.
The displays will be installed by mid-September in a space to be called Walt Disney Presents, which will be a re-imagined version of the One Man’s Dream gallery, according to the official Disney Parks Blog.
The model for Toy Story Land is described as “never-before-seen.” The display will also include ride-vehicle maquettes and concept art. The area will include the Slinky Dog Dash, which will be a family coaster, and the Alien Swirling Saucers. The attractions will be scaled to make visitors feel as if they have been shrunk to the size of toys.
In addition to part of the Galaxy’s Edge model, the space will feature concept art for Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway, which will slide into the building that previously was home to the park’s Great Movie Ride attraction. (The final day of GMR’s operation was Sunday.)
The area will continue to host character greetings for Star-Lord and baby Groot, along with sneak previews of Disney films. Walt Disney Presents will still have historic items, including sketches photos and storyboards, the blog post says.
