For as much as I lament the situation Studios has found itself in recently, when you stop and think it is pretty remarkable that one park is getting 3 major multimillion-dollar E-Tickets in the same year. The park is in dire need, and they sort of backed themselves into that corner, but it's nearly unprecedented.
The closest example I can think of in Disney history of such grand post-park-opening addition is when Disneyland opened the Matterhorn, the Monorail, and the Submarine Voyage. Granted, that was all on the same day, which will not be the case here, but the significance is pretty undeniable. Hollywood Studios will be forever changed.

I’m looking forward to this more the SWGE. I’m just a huge fan of imagineers coming up with new ideas that are Disney based and blow me away! Give those people money and they can come up with tremendous things!

I figured. It’d be very silly if they didn’t.

Pretty good. I stand corrected. Still, suffice to say, other hasn't been the only symbol used through the park's history.

It would be. When Screamscape “announced” that MMRR May be delayed to December, I laughed. If it was delayed, our SWL would also be delayed. They specifically approved to ride to be open by the time SWL opens.

How incredible (for Disney) to think they could actually open this thing right around 2 years after closing GMR. That’s an astonishing pace for WDW.
In all fairness it can be classed almost as an overlay. The building was there. The space was there. The utilities were there. The queue is already built.
And what made it most appealing was the totally flat floor for an AGV style ride was already there. It’s more like adding TSMM into a sound stage.
It won’t be unique to DHS for long either.

I know there was talk of redoing one of the shows, LM or BatB (I forget which).
But are you suggesting they will be adding a ride into an existing building in the foreseeable future? Like into the Launch Bay perhaps? Or the one where they show that 10 minute summary of the Star Wars Story to date..... Or another building I’m forgetting ......
I know you probably can’t say. A wink would do ....
By the way, I’m thinking of trade marking that wink and whistle emoji you did, we can call it the “marni wink”! Split the royalties?
MMRR will be cloned. Twice at the moment..... is that official yet?

Really stinks how DHS won’t have any true star attraction to call its own unless you’d say Slinky Dog
DL and DLP I’m guessing?

Strong, insistent, well-sourced rumor indicated Toontown at DLR and Disneyland Paris (Studios would seem to make sense, but I think I saw somewhere that it might end up on their long-dormant Mermaid plot in Fantasyland?)
Does that still hold true?

I think he's saying that each of those exist in other parks, where Slinky Dog Dash is unique to DHS.
At least our Tower is the best version of the ride -- though Tokyo's exterior is mighty impressive.

Ohhhhhhh. Cloned at different parks? Duh!
Well bah humbug, I thought he meant another ride coming to DHS.
DL will happen, DLP probably.

Are any other resorts vying for it?
It's interesting to me that it's already booked to be cloned twice; they must have a LOT of confidence that this will be a hit.

Honestly, I’m kinda bummed by this. I like when resorts have unique rides.
How are they gonna change the backstory to fit Toontown? The DHS version (especially the preshow) seems to rely pretty heavily that we are stepping through a movie screen into a cartoon.
The location itself would play a large part of the backstory. Give the exterior a cinema facade and bingo.
