MGM studios is one of my favorite parks ever, mainly because as I walk around, I come up with so many ideas on how to make it better....So, I am going to give you a multi-phase plan that should take 6-10 years to finish. It's ALOT of stuff, but actually not all that costly, mainly moving and minimal building with a few added attractions here and there.
1st off, some of you may have noticed that there are only 5 actually sit down and move rides. ToT, TGMR, RnRC, and STours.
And that there is a MULTITUDE of shows! oy! Something like 9 sit down shows, and I thinki the balance needs to be fixed, plus, it needs some attractions for kids, and some kind of 'Land' distinction.
Phase I: Land Creation, and stabilization of an ICON. Estimated time 1yr and a half.
This phase is a major jump, but gets things rolling nicely. First, the park will be divided into lands.
First, the Hollywood boulevard and sunset boulevard with be designated as 'Hollywood'
The ARea surrounding Echo Lake will be designated: "ABC Studios"
The area around indy and Stours will be "Lucasfilm Lot"
New York will remain the same, but an extra 'miniland' will be added to it later, called the 'New York Burbs" This comes into play on another phase, Phase III.
The backlot tour, HISTK play area, and all the way down to one man's dream will become "Production Avenue"
And finally, "ANimation Courtyard" will retain it's original name.
Signs will be posted to designate each land better then the current 'Road name'.
Next step. ICON
The people of disney have given this park a new icon, that wheter or not we like it, it's gonna stay. hey did, however, not complete the job.The chinese theater makes the area look cluttered and unorganized..very bad 'Feng shui'. So, Unforteanetly, The theter is gonna have to come down. The hat will instead become a main entrance fror TGMR, and on either side of the hat, large walls will be built, coming close, but not touching the hat. ON the other end of the walls, they will connect to the ABC commisary on one side, and the current "Palm tree" wall on the the side nearest Voyage of TLM. These walls will have fountains on top, and water will run down the outside of the wall (Like the rainforest cafe at AK) Pools of water at the bottom of the walls will collect it, and more fountains will be there. Every 10 mintues or so, fountain screens will pop up from the fountains, and a show will be presented, much like Epcot, but iun this case, movie clips will be projected onto the screens, sycronized with dancing water around the screens and the hat. Right after you walk into the hat, the area that used to be between the hat and the theater will now bean actual building, housing the pumps and equipment needed for the fountains. A single que line will lead into the ride through this building, and tghe inside of TGMR will not be changed much, until the last phase.
