Today’s progress report regarding the construction of the upcoming Toy Story Playland in the Walt Disney Studios (as already featured in the park maps and on the waiting times information board in the park) is – for a change – reporting some aural progress. As user 15MagicalYears posted on the MagicForum Imagineering during the past week tested the audio feature of the giant Buzz Lightyear statue placed right behind the current construction fence at the future entrance of the new area.
Luckily the tests were conducted during regular park operation hours and apparently the volume of Buzz’ catch phrases must be rather high as guests on the walkway outside the construction area were able to hear Buzz speak. Rumors claimed that Buzz would occassionally utter various of his catch phrases from the Toy Story features. However, 15MagicalYears managed to catch only one of those phrases: following the sound effect of a radio connection (typical statics) Buzz announced “Buzz to Star Command, can you read me Star Command?“. We don’t know about Star Command, but guests of the WDS obviously read you Buzz!
