3. Alien Swirling Saucers showing extra wear and tear

Alien Swirling Saucers is a fairly simplistic spinning ride, and though it has been very popular throughout the opening months of Toy Story Land, this type of simple flat ride should be rather durable. However, the next time you go on this ride at Toy Story Land, if you check out the floor as you are leaving you'll see rips and tears in the floor that indicate the type of extreme wear and tear you would expect to see in a ride that is several years old. Of course, this is strange since Alien Swirling Saucers is only seven months old. Again, there doesn't seem to be a quick fix for this issue, and a refurbishment will be needed to fix this problem as well. Because Alien Swirling Saucers isn't as popular as Slinky Dog Dash, this ride might actually close sooner rather than later for repair but of course nothing has been confirmed yet.

Though we don't exactly know why Toy Story Land seems to be deteriorating so quickly, whispers are circulating that this is an issue of Disney's own making, as they used less expensive materials in construction to ensure that the Toy Story Land project came in on time and under budget, which meant that quality unfortunately took a hit.

And while these are just rumors, if they are indeed true, the choice to make Toy Story Land cheap and quickly may end up costing Disney in the long run, as it looks like extensive refurbishments and replacements are needed to bring Toy Story Land back up to standard, less than a year after opening. While Disney has said that they plan to deal with the Slinky Dog tail issue in the near future, we have no way of knowing when or if the other problems with the new attractions in this land will be fixed. 

Though there was plenty of excitement when Toy Story Land first opened last year, it looks like this land is starting to have maintenance problems just a few months after it debuted. Have you had a chance to check out Toy Story Land yet? Have you seen any of these issues up close?
