So I think it’s confirmed now between the news that it’s only taking a “portion of the backlot” coupled with the fact that Disney has always called Avatar an “experience” and never a land means that the Avatar ride/ mini land is going to be part of Hollywoodland. Sounds like this is how imagineers are trying to make sense of it being in DCA. Which maybe is just because of the fact it’s borders current Hollywoodland because otherwise why Jump through hoops when Mission Breakout exists in the same park? Anyway, crazy if true as the land lost not only the Red Car but its anchor with TOT and will somehow survive with this new direction. This is also tells me that no park name change is coming. Those new signs at the Hyperion told me the same thing.

And I’m totally good with Hollywoodland surving. I’ve always said Hollywood Blvd should remain or be absorbed by BVS. I enjoy the animation academy lobby/ building and it’s nice to still have a theatre of two. With that said I would sacrifice Hyperion for the right attraction (especially if it’s just going to sit around vacant) but I think the Sunset Theatre should stick around.

I agree. The new tiny glances at what the current thought is from imagineering are leaning that way. The new images are suggesting a MUCH smaller scale area while the original overview images had more water, features, several buildings/structures. The the new tidbits (in particular the monorail track apparently not moving for me) are suggesting we may be getting an Avatar attraction covered in massive rockwork with some very minor water features and a few plants NORTH of the monorail track (or at least with the monorail integrated into its southern edge).

Any idea how this area compares to Shanghai pirates?

Disney can barely move a churro stand.
They're not going to relocate a band-aid of a dark ride redo that few people consider an essential attraction in the park.

We can start calling Hollywood Land the Hollywood Strip now.

Okay, so Hollywood is staying, and this will be an attraction as opposed to a land. Clearly they’re just reskinning Superstar Limo again.

This sucks. I want an epic Avatar attraction, and I want every inch of Hollywood/Backlot burned to the ground. We really can’t part with Award Weiners?

I think the only part of the actual backlot that remains will be the Philharmagic theatre. I also suspect Disney might be using Hollywoodland and “backlot” interchangeably. Vloggers have been doing the same thing for 2 years now.
I thought nobody knew the names of the characters in Avatar!!!

I’ve noticed the interchangeability as well. Very confusing/annoying.

It’s like cmon guys. You do this for a living. Haha. On a related note, I feel like we’re always a couple steps ahead of the vloggers here. While they re spending time creating content we’re just consuming.

No one does. Only ironic theme park podcasters (in this case, Podcast: The Ride) and their listeners (me).
