Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

[WAJAS]

Why am I actually extermely happy about that being gone.

Because it was ugly. (Controversial opinion incoming) Not as ugly as the Sorcer's Hat, but ugly nonetheless. I love that the view of the theatre has been restored yet again.

 

[Mad Dog]

Yes. Stage ruined the sightlines. SW show was a pure kiddie show, pretty terrible, unless you were around 5 or 6 years old.

Star Wars stage shows come back June 16th, so the stage being gone is only temporary. Sorry.

At least the hat is still gone for good.

Boo!

That stage show sucks! Just move it next to Star Tours and be done with it.

So the stage that they construct in DHS is listed as a temporary event structure. The permitting process requires it to be taken down every so often in order to keep it's temporary status. Then they put it right back up.

The stage we know is gone.

The show is being restaged with mobile platforms that will be out in the morning and then packed up and put backstage after the last daily show.

This will allow more room for projection and fireworks viewing.

Maybe that's why they haven't been pushing the new Movie Magic projection show yet? So odd there's not been a bigger announcement for that. Just a brief mention on the bottom of a parks blog post with 5 other things above it.

Yeah, it's not even on the times guide. The only public acknowledgment of it is the 5 and 10 minute warning announcements.

Wow. Looks like the parking lot expansion is the same size as the existing lots.

 

[darkridelover]

I would like to remind everyone they are charging more money to visit the park in the second picture than the park in the first picture.

 

[JPRA513]

Wow. Haven't seen a comparison pic, but that really puts in perspective how gutted this park is at this point. Sure it'll be better in a couple years, but it's just in bad shape right now.

It was in really bad shape the way it was though. We lost all of 1 ride and 1 show and a few Meet & Greets that have mostly been relocated for this (and a yearly Christmas display). It looks like so much more than it was but in reality most of that land was wasted space.

Do I think Disney should be charging full price for the current park? Hell no. However things have to get worse before they get better.

In the park's defense, when it opened ALL of that land was only the Production Tour and a quick service restaurant.

Edit: Yea, what Nick said.

 

[JPRA513]

I agree with both of you. I guess it just moreso puts into perspective how much land that was wasted in a park that already had fairly little to do. Glad they're going to finally do something with it all.

 

[Bulldog45]

I think once Toy Story and Star Wars open their respective lands they should demo Animation Courtyard. There would be no need for Star Wars Launch Bar and I don't really think people would miss The Little Mermaid or The Disney Junior shows, especially since they opened the Little Mermaid ride in the Magic Kingdom. How many acres is that area and what could be some possible expansions?

All due to Disney ignoring the WDW parks for years and years.

 

[Jones14]

That might be the best Indiana Jones in Florida idea I've ever heard.

Well, thank you.

 

[Nick]

I've seen a lot of maps that show how the park will look once TSL and SWL is completed, but this one is by far the most entertaining (and almost 100% accurate):
