Hollywood Studios Park Wide Changes Incoming?

[clemmo]

So besides tsl and swl do we know for sure if we will see any new shows/entertainment? The Pixar thing is limited time though I guess could be extended. VOLM could use and update and so could IJSS, Fanstasmic, and BATB. Obviously they can't afford to have it shut until TSL opens next year.

I was there on Tuesday and did a few attractions. RnRC went 101 so that didn't work out. I still miss the live musical entertainment in the park. I get that they probably just don't have anywhere to put them ( maybe, I could probably come up with an idea or three)with all the construction, but I do hope that this is brought back once the park redevelopment is complete.

Any updates on possible name change? If they are holding out this long only to call it Hollywood Adventure, I'd be disappointed.

I'd imagine we're all going to prepare to be disappointed. I mean, what else could they name the park? Unfortunately, but it's probably what it will be.

I still wish the DHS makeover had a better rollout. Tell us the name, give us the lands, the dates when they're opening, etc. I get why they don't, but I'd have liked to seen a plan laid out, you know like all the other Disney parks do when they do makeovers over their parks?

One of two things have happened, either they have no idea yet what they are going to call the park and are desperately hoping that something will come up before the lands are done OR they have such a tremendous name that they know it will knock everyones socks off once it is reveled. So as soon as they decided they wrote it down on a piece of paper and buried it in a remote location so no one could possibly find it and leak that information. Let's hope that whoever was in charge of hiding it still remembers where he/she put it. In other news, Iger was just extended for another year. Coincidence? I think not.

Iger might as well just extend until 2021 at this point so he can say he was there for WDW's 50th.

I have a feeling it's a little bit of both but the new name will not make sense until the other portions of the park reimagining are announced, started or done. Honestly the only things that are presumably safe are Hollywood Boulevard and Sunset Boulevard. Beyond that I fully expect to see a lot of tweaks and changes to nearly everything in the park.

I'd love to see a boat ride at the studios- an Indy boat ride based on the shanghai pirates system could be great

No way. I want to go on a boat ride, not watch a movie.

Nah, he hates nostalgia. He's like, "Okay, let's get the Walt stuff out of the way, and talk about more Star Wars!"

I didn't say I wanted him to stay but, man, he keeps re-upping so he might as well at this point, LOL

Am I reading this correctly? You've boiled the Shanghai Pirates ride down to watching a movie on a boat?

There's plenty of other rides that are boiled down to that as well even though most of the time there's more going on.

Yeah, that's what you get from a park with a bunch of decorated rides.

Pam hates Penguins..... and screens

To be honest I'm not a fan of poorly implemented screens either, but Pirates in Shanghai is far from poorly implemented, so I guess I'm not really making a point with this post.

Could be a hint at third ip/e ticket going there instead of echo lake

That is possible. But can i say its concrete? No

 

[Kman101]

Pam seems to hate a lot of things ...

Pirates in Shanghai looks incredible

And I've long wanted an Indy boat ride (and a flume drop like Splash Mountain would be awesome to go along with it) at DHS ... if only. We can't even get a copy of Indiana Jones Adventure. Heck, we can't even get a copy of the Temple of Peril coaster (not that I necessarily would want that but still ....). And I love the stunt show, but ... update it at least

How many people does the stunt show serve each show / per day?? It holds a ton of people in the area. The echo lake area could hold a couple of rides. Mini Indy land

I'd take a boat ride and a coaster please

Also would like to know the amount of people the stunt show can see in a day. I have no idea.

I found a capacity number of 2150 people. Not sure how often they fill the theater.
