Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

Anybody want to take on the challenge of how the placement of Toy Story and Star Wars land make sense in relation to Muppets and Star Tours are even possible? I mean seriously make a google map image of how the hell any of this is even possible let alone feasible if these rides stay and the lands end of being placed next to one another.

I think it's feasible by relocating the entrance to star tours to the south, which could be a LONG corridor south of Muppets; Star Wars being between Muppets and Toy Story, with a nice chunk left in the south west for future expansion.

Heck, they'll probably just dress the Muppets up in those Star wars character outfits again and count it as one of the rides in SWL. Creative cost/value engineering.

ST is likely to go away eventually at DLR so I wouldn't be surprised if they just get rid of the ride in Orlando too.

Am I the only one who would be upset to see Star Tours go, in either park?

No, I would be as well.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yeah, I like Star Tours also. I always ride it multiple times when I'm at DHS, the park I "used" to love.

Calling it now. Star Tours gets the Jimmy Neutron>Minion Mayhem treatment with Zootopia in both parks.

Hmmm...I would not be surprised to see Mama Melrose go here. Otherwise this seems spot on.

I'm ambivalent towards Star Tours. Its newer version was a significant downgrade, IMO, and I don't think I'd miss it much.

Zootopia? I don't see that at DL.

Good lord this is gonna take forever... Well at least Dylan will be able to ride ToT by the time this opens.. He 3 months old btw..

Forgive my awful memory, but is that entrance road beside muppets and streets of america staying, or will it be demolished to make way for expansion? Because if its going, it should be fairly easy to keep Star Tours.

How does Zootopia fit in Tomorrowland? Also, I'd rather see Zootopia expanded upon and built out where Rafiki's is at DAK.

Right across from the ride based on a 1990s toy space ranger.

So... with TSL, does TSMM entrance move onto the other side of the building into the land? I think so, but then what happens to the current walkway that is labeled Pixar Studio between TGMR & TSMM? That would lead back to the new location we see for SWL but what the heck would it be themed to? And there would be an almost adjacent entry to the one shown at the far side of TSL.
I get that putting SWL back there will minimize the wait time for infrastructure changes that were proposed to move DHS entry road and speed up (somewhat) their ability to get started, but DHS has traditionally had crowd flow issues since its not a traditional hub and spoke design and I don't think this is going to make it any better.

I believe the existing Pixar Place will become backastage areas. DHS is basically going to become a big loop
