Is Toy Story Mania's Third Track Opening Earlier Than Expected?; New Merchandise Debuts for Halloween on Both Coasts

Is Toy Story Midway Mania's Third Track Opening Earlier Than Expected?:

Originally, the third track for Toy Story Midway Mania at Hollywood Studios wasn't supposed to open until late 2016. Now according to WDWMagic, sources have told them the track could be completed as early as the end of this year. WDWMagic states that if true it would give the park a much needed capacity help for the busy holiday season.

While it may come as a shock that it would be completed this early is the 2016 completion date could hold true still with the expected re-route of the attraction of the entrance to the back of the building. This is all in preparation for the opening of Toy Story Land, that was announce at last month's D23 EXPO. No completion date for Toy Story Land has been announced, construction for the land is set to begin early next year.

Disney has not confirmed the earlier than expected completion of the third track just the originally announced completion of late 2016. Stay tuned for more details on the third track for Toy Story Mania as well as Toy Story Land.
