Well, I have now completed my Magic Kingdom, so next up is my second park, Disney Studios. As I said earlier, Disney Studios will mainly be a production facility, with a few rides and attractions. The reason I am doing this is because what I wanted with my proposed Disney theme park resort was a production facility of some sort as of opening day (or shortly afterward).
Disney Studios will open with six soundstages (double the number as Disney-MGM in Florida), a backlot (inlcudes Residential Street, which is no longer at Disney-MGM), a working animation studio, as well as the Earfell Tower-- which is an actual working water tower for the studio and park, not an oversized prop like Disney-MGM's tower! Here is a list of the rides and attractions avaliable as of opening day:
1.) Cinemagic Special Effects Stage
2.) Disney Studio 1: which includes:
a.) Sound Studio: a mock SFX studio where guests add sound effects to various Disney cartoons!
b.) TV Zone: similar to the now-defunct Disney-MGM attraction, where guest have the chance to interact with characters from both classic and current sitcoms!
3.) The Great Movie Ride: with primarily different scenes from the WDW ride.
4.) Hyperion Theater: a 2,000 seat movie palace-like theater, which presents a multi-character show similar to the show on the Disney Cruise Line (I have in fact heard a lot of good things about that show!)
5.) Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular: even though Disney-MGM has this, I think this is one of their very best shows, and should be included here!
6.) Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D:
7.) Magic of Disney Animation: an actual working animation studio broken up into the following divisions:
a.) Cel Animation
b.) Computer Animation
c.) Clay Animation
In addition, there will be an interactive area where guests learn a few tricks of the trade, much like the Disneyland Paris animation studio has!
8.) Star Tours
9.) Studio Tour: Behind the Scenes
10.) That's Entertainment! Hollywood Gallery: inlcudes exhibits and artifacts from Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general (both past and present!)
11.) Tron: The Ride (based on an earlier proposal on the Imagineers forum, and located appropriately in the Animation Courtyard!)
12.) Who Want's to Be a Millionaire: Play It!
With this, Disney Studios will have 12 rides and attractions for opening day; twice the number of attractions as Hollywood Pictures at Disneyland's California Adventure and slightly over half as many as Disney-MGM Studios at WDW currently has.
In addition, Disney Studios will include:
* a Hollywood-based parade similar to the parade in Walt Disney Studios at Disneyland Paris. This will also include the Movie Projector float with Tinker Bell, which is in the WD Studios Paris parade! In addition, this parade will include various Hollywood-themed songs; such as Hooray For Hollywood, Were In the Money, You Ought to Be in Pictures, and That's Entertainment!, just to name a few!
Originally, I was planning this parade more along the lines of Disney-MGM's Disney Cars and Movie Stars; but IMHO, seemed too similar to me.
* Sorcery in the Sky Fireworks: which will be presented nightly
If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post; since I really could use you feedback! I look forward to hearing from you!
