Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

[tielo]

As they were feet away from their most popular attraction reaching 180 minute waits due to low capacity, you would think they got the idea to expand it or open new attractions to take the load off earlier.

But they where spending up to 2 billion to reduce the waiting time for their honored guests.
If they only used that money to build rides people like and would have a high capacity it would at least do that...

If you said your goodbye to One Mans Dream; well, you did as it has now left us. It was announced by Disney that a new Preview Center for the upcoming film; "The Good Dinosaur" will be coming into the exhibit October 16th.

Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream Being Replaced by Preview of the Good Dinosaur, DCA to Also Get Preview | WDW News Today

 

[Brian G.]

It's not leaving.... the movie at the end will show a preview of the Good Dinosaur. The museum remains. The preview ends Dec 4th so the movie will be back by then.

Having said that, it is not long for this world.

 

[Nick]

Yeah, eventually both OMD and the Jack Sparrow building will be demo'd. And i'd wager a guess it'll be very early next year from what I hear.

After reading so a few things about the reinvention of the studios, Is Cars Land and a Indy RIDE happening? and I get the whole smaller Cars Land blah blah blah, but will it happend? Because so far sounds like the so called "new" will consist of 3 lands only: Hollywood/Studios area, SWL and TSL. I mean TSL is supossed to extend back of TSMM and some are talking about up towards Canyon Disaster area, and SWL is spreading towards NYC and Indy Show. I am pretty sure they won't be touch much Sunset Blvd, but besides that and center stage area, once you add the new lands "as big as they are supossed to be", it will fill up most of the available space. Also makes me wonder about the new name since the 3 main theme lands (1 Space (movie), 1 Animated (movie), and 1 Location (Place/Town)) It will be hard to call it a Studio or anything to do with movies since they will main offer 2 movies.

Carsland might be Phase 3 but it seems like they're moving away from that.

Hmmm... That's a shame. I really thought they would've squeeze an Indy Ride building next to Prime Time and expand SWL towards Cast Parking behind Indy Show. Then corner Cars Land where Lights, Motor... and Canyon are, they can even redirect traffic from World Dr and move Parking Toll Plaza, to expand towards the security water canal behind Mama Melrose. I feel like even after expansion the park still very weak on major attractions... which it's sad.

It was never happening, it was all baseless speculation.

So I guess all we are getting is 1 hopefully E ticket ride from SWL and a Slinky Coaster that looks more cute than thrilling... Everything else is already there or just a flat/minor ride or show addition. I bet the lands will look great but looks can only get you so far. So it seems after all those years of work, and it will still be considered as a half day park after the "new" hype passes.

SWL will have 2 E Tickets. TSL will have 2 C Tickets (and a D if you include TSMM).

Cars Land is looking incredibly unlikely for phase 3. And the blue skying for phase 4 is heating up.

So Slinky is only a C? How intense is it going to be?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I'm pessimistic about any phase three or later at DHS, but that might just be my own bias and out dated info.

I think it'll be about a C+

Phase 3 seems to be a go from what everyone on Magic is saying.

Magic also swearing up, down, left, and right about that $3.4 billion figure months ago and more.

 

[Teebin]

So is this phase 3 stuff supposed to go where lights, motors, naps is now? (TBH, never saw the thing, tried but the lines were a total FTN (and i probably said that exact thing out loud at the time))

Most likely.

There's been nothing to disprove this yet though

 

[Ultranel]

SWL will have 2 E Tickets.

I was not aware of 2 E Ticket rides.... Obviously not counting Star Tours, all I know is the Shanghai ride, which I'm not familiar
with the type of ride it will be eventually, but I know rumors are something about speeder bikes. I thought the same type of ride would be at
SWL DHS but Millenium Falcon themed... besides that I'm not sure what the 2nd E ticket could be.
Any info?

 

[Nico]

Just to be clear:
Phase 1: Toy story
Phase 2: Star Wars
Phase 3: ?

Is that right?
