Nullifying North

4/30/08 As construction continues on the Kingdom Tower project, evidence of its connection to the existing Tower have started to appear.

Preview Mania

4/30/08 Over the last two weeks, visible signs of Pixar Place reaching completion have started to appear over the construction walls. A "Pixar Studios" arch has appeared peaking up above the construction wall just passed the entrance to the One Man's Dream exhibit. Also visible above the construction wall are life-sized Green Army men, perched on top of of the rooftop adjacent to the future attraction, hoisting up a what appears to be Tinker Toy structure. Additionally, chains of life-sized multi-colored Barrel-O-Monkey's can be seen linked in a long chain stretching from the roof of the Toy Story Mania building across the pathway to the rooftop of the adjacent building.

A preview schedule for the attraction is beginning to be released, see Toy Story Mania! Preview Schedule for details and discussion.

3/10/08 A tentative start date for previews of Toy Story Mania! has been internally announced. It has been internally announced that preview period of the attraction is tentatively scheduled to start April 25th, 2008. While this date still remains very tentative, applications for the attraction's first Cast Members were opened at the end of February, which generally fits an opening timeline to start previews in Late April. The attraction is still anticipated to have an Official Grand Opening in Mid-June 2008.
