New track added to Toy Story Midway Mania
In order to cut down on the super long wait time that people were experiencing with Toy Story Midway Mania at Hollywood Studios, which could reach over 100 minutes, a third track was added.
So far, things have been going well. The major test will be in a few weeks when the summer season is in full swing.
Rumor Watch: Rizzo’s Pizza
A rumor has been floating around that the former Pizza Planet, located in what is being called Muppet Courtyard, will be reopened and redesigned as Rizzo’s Pizza.
It will feature a heavy Muppet theme surrounded around the cheesy rat, Rizzo and his pals.
We will have to wait and see if this pans out.
