They should really think about putting a new more relavent attraction in this area, A new thrill ride would be nice. Its no longer a working studio, the props are dated , and the whole Catastrophe canyon is not just dated but basicly the same exact ride as disaster. I know the "Cars land" rumor is a possibilty for this area, and although i rather se a coaster of some sorts anything would be better than the tour

Agreed It is in dire need of replacement/upgrade but I still ride it every time I'm there LOL
maybe i'm part of the problem

Weren't there rumors ages ago about turning HISTK into a bug's life playground? It was about the same time the monsters inc stories began to pick up the pace, but pixar place seemed to be completely forgotten as soon as it was created. I wouldn't mind at all if the backlot tour became a few pixar attractions. There are several movies definitely deserving of one. On a side note, does any know if Luxo Jr. makes appearances anymore. I remember seeing a few videos, but the last I recall he was down for maintenance and hasn't been seen since. Shame, really. He looked like a gorgeous AA.

Backlot should remain until the rest of the park is up to snuff. Save that expansion plot for a really great idea.
Rather then get rid of it I think they should expand / update it.
I could look at movie props all frikkin day!

All they would have to do is put a bunch of Avengers props in the boneyard. I'd wait in line to see that.
I love looking at movie props and seeing the history of that movie and be able to say i've seen that prop in person to somebody thats watching the movie with me but they don't need to make a ride out showing off movie props in my opinion, a museum would be more fitting for that kind of attraction (like I love Lucy at Universal and One Mans Dream at Hollywood Studios etc...)
the props are still cool and i do think they have a place like i've said many times about usf a museum building would be perfect
Yes, I vote to replace the Backlot Tour. Employee parking would be almost as exciting as what we have now.
Yeah. It is a pretty sad state. How long as the post show been AFI's Villians you love to hate now? It is really a shame and that has become the only worthwhile portion to really check out, and even that has gotten stale as it has not changed in ten years and has only gotten into more of a bad gift area.
See i've ridden this once and probably only once way back in 2007 it even seemed dated back then and very boring at that. I honestly have no desire to ever ride it again this whole plot of land that the ride is on could eventually go to good use if Disney is willing to shell out but I highly doubt that.
They definitely need to replace the Backlot Tour. It is so pitiful to go through. They could really put a nice sized attraction over there and do something that really drives guests in that area of the park. Maybe even extend Pixar Place out and envelope that area into it. Even if they made it into like a Pixar Walking Tour or a ride based on Cars. Something that would really get some interest into that side of the park, other than TSMM. Probably not on the map though.
