So as some of you may have noticed, I haven’t posted anything in awhile. This is partly due to me doing the Fozz Games and just regular life stuff but another reason is this. Last year, I created the original Cinemagine Studios and it was good at the time but looking back at it, it really wasn’t the best. This took me about 2 months to make and I am incredibly proud of it and this is the first time I have actually made backstage areas and filled in the entire picture.

Very interesting map layout. I right clicked and opened the first images separately... geez there's a lot of detail in them. That must have taken some time.

Hollywood Boulevard
Once guests park their cars or use the PeopleMover Transportation System that connected all sections of the parking lot to the front plaza of the park, there will be a sent of turnstiles that are completely glass covered. This area is where guests will enter the park and use their Magic Bands to enter the park. Once they leave the turnstiles, guests will go under a bridge where a Studio Tram will continuously go back and forth (add some kinetic energy).
This is where the movie magic begins. A string of fountains would dance in front of guests, synchronizing with the music loop, this complements the main fountain in the center of the courtyard with a statue of Mickey Mouse in full filmmaker getup and a filming camera, water features surrounding the statue and several smaller statues of ducks surrounding the fountain.
To the left of the fountain is a Tram Tour loading station that is no longer providing Tram Tours but is now a museum that is dedicated to the history of the park. There are many exhibits themed to the many different lands of the park both past and present. This was the original location of the MGM Studios Tram Tour that would go all around the park like the Disneyland train and would stop at 3 different locations. While the 1st floor is themed to past lands and attractions, the 2nd floor is themed to present additions such as Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land.
To the left of the fountain is a gas station that serves classic 20s food such as hotdogs, however it doesn't offer any inside seating and very little outside seating since this is not a major dining location. The majority of the building is guest relations with many rooms being dedicated to this purpose. The majority of the outside of the building is used for stroller parking and renting, this being the main place where you will get the iconic strollers seen all around Disney parks.
The main boulevard looks entirely different than the one in our timeline. One of the main complaints heard is lack of shade and large amounts of concrete pathways, Hollywood Boulevard being the biggest victim of this. In response to this, a glass canopy similar to the one in Tokyo Disneyland is added to Hollywood Boulevard. The roof of this glass canopy is filled with stained glass paintings of iconic Disney characters in filmmaking clothes and several film making devices on the roof. At the ends of the canopy are glass domes that hold glass chandeliers that have a bunch of Disney characters hanging off of them.
On the sides of the canopy are several facades and windows themed to Golden-Age era actors, similar to the stores that is in our current timeline. The main store of this area is a high-end jewelry shop that sells Disney themed jewelry that is very expensive and high-quality. The building is colored in black and white, and is very grand in appearance. The 2nd store on the left side of the canopy is a traditional gift shop themed to an old school merchandise shop during the 20s, with many paintings and posters of classic movies and actors. The only shop on the right side is an old school barber shop, similar to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, offering old school haircuts popular during the 20s to 50s. There is also a small courtyard that holds a couple small food and merchandise stands with a central small pond that holds a LOT of ducks. This area is also the central entrance location to Muppet Studios (that is for later
One of the holdovers from Hollywood Boulevard is the Brown Derby, very similar if not the same as the one in our timeline. This restaurant is themed to very old actors (not age wise) of the Golden-Age of Hollywood with several rooms being themed to particular actors (ex: Marilyn Monroe having a room themed to fashion and grandeur). The dining options are also themed to Golden-Age actors favorite dishes with the entire menu almost being entirely dedicated to their favorite dishes. There is a 2nd floor that is themed to Hollywood directors and the movie making process's behind their movies. The facade is basically a replica of the one in our timeline with very little changes except for the 2nd floor being added.
3 roads connect into a central loop where the Hollywood Trolley's go around the loop and go through the rest of the park. These trolley's can fit around 15 people and will take guests through several areas of the park, from Sunset Boulevard to New York City. Sitting in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater is a large Mickey shaped pond that holds many dancing fountains that would sync in with the music loop and would light up during firework spectaculars. Several gardens surround this pond, using many different plants from California and other important filming locations. To the right of the pond is a Meet-and-Greet location where guests can meet Mickey, Minnie, and others in their Golden-Age outfits, dressed in gold. To the left of the pond is another gift shop themed to an old production office with several blueprints and scripts of many Golden-Age movies.
As mentioned before Grauman's Chinese Theater is at the very end of Hollywood Boulevard and this iconic Hollywood building holds probably the most iconic defunct attraction in Disney, if not theme park history, The Great Movie Ride. Guests will first go through the courtyard of the building before they go inside. The inside of the building is reminiscent of a 20s movie theater, with bold reds and golds being the color scheme of the queue. Many movie posters are on the walls, featuring the many movies that came out throughout the ages, some even being shown on the actual attraction. In the center of the queue is a grand golden statue of Sorcerer Mickey with water surrounding him, several other golden statues of important movies such as a statue of Dorothy or Darth Vader, these statues are throughout the queue. At the very end of the queue is a film projector showing many black and white films. Guests will then go through the film as it is broken and torn by a version of Mickey, entering the loading area of the attraction.
Charlie Chaplin (Scene 1)
Guests will enter the silent world of Charlie Chaplin, with music being the only thing being heard. Several animatronics showcase the many comedic stunts and films he was apart of. Many of the films he starred would be represented here such as Gold Rush, Modern Times, and The Great Dictator. The world is in complete black and white with many screens on walls, speaking about the scenes like in the old movies. Charlie Chaplin himself would appear on stage and take control of the vehicle, doing silent comedic gags and getting into a fist fight with the vehicle operator.
West Side Story (Scene 2)
The vehicles enter the action packed (and congested filled) city of New York as two lovers try to find a way to be together in a classic Romeo and Juliet musical film. Yes, this is West Side Story. Guests watch as dozens of animatronics dance through the streets of New York, the movement isn't extreme. Day turns to night as the vehicle enters the dark alley was as Tony and Maria sing their iconic song, trying to find a way to be together in a world that seems to be working against them. The parking garage is filled with projections of the Jet's and Riff's dancing in the parking lot.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit (Scene 3)
Los Angeles is our next stop as guests venture into the cartoon and crime filled world of Roger Rabbit. Our first stop is the Ink and Paint club with Donald and Daffy doing their iconic duet before a full scale Jessica animatronic comes on stage singing her iconic song as she walks toward guests. The vehicles enter Toontown with it's comedically stretched buildings and animated characters walking around. The final battle is also shown with Judge Doom getting melted by the Dip and all the animated characters coming together inside the factory.
The Mask of Zorro (Scene 4)
One of the most influential western movies is the Mask of Zorro released in 1940. Guests enter a rundown western mining town in California, all is quiet until a shootout starts between the local militia and a gang of robbers. Vehicles quickly leave the area as Don Diego puts on his iconic mask and takes the persona of Zorro. Guests then watch the iconic battle between Don Diego and Captain Bandini in full animatronic form with those 2 being the most advanced animatronics on the attraction.
Star Wars: A New Hope (Scene 5)
Star Wars is probably the most influential Sci-Fi film and in cinema, so it is represented here. Guests enter the Emperor's Throne Room on the 2nd Death Star with Luke Skywalker battling Darth Vader with Emperor Palpatine monologuing over the fight. The Battle of Endor takes place outside the throne room with projections on the windows. The scene then transitions to Palpatine electrocuting Luke with Vader behind him. Vader then lifts Palpatine off the ground and throws him down the reactor shaft, sacrificing himself to save his son.
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl (Scene 6)
This movie singlehandedly revived the entire Pirate genre with it being both a financial and critical success. The Battle of Port Royal begins with the Black Pearl attacking the port town and Jack Sparrow's voice monologuing the story of the Black Pearl. The scene then transitions to the duel between Jack and Barbossa with both being skeletons periodically using projection effects and the death of Barbossa is also shown.
Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark (Scene 7)
This is one of the most influential adventure films in cinema history (that belongs in a museum). Indiana Jones is seen trading the artifact with a bag of sand before running away from the giant boulder as the temple collapses around guests. The Ark is raised in the underground temple by Indiana Jones and Sallah as a bright light starts to come out of the ark. The finale of the movie is also shown as ghostly apparitions kill all the Nazi's and surround guests.
Casablanca (Scene 8)
This movie is one of the most well known romantic movies known to man. The rain is intense outside as guests approach a twin engine plane, seemingly ready to go. Rick Blaine and Ilsa Lund stand beside it, caught in a moment, the tension in the scene is palpable. The dialogue is somber as Ilsa and her husband choose to leave the country with Rick choosing to be left behind, sacrificing his happiness for the greater good. The plane is seen flying away.
Fantasia (Scene 9)
This movie is one of the most beautiful pieces of art ever created in the animation world. Sorcerer Mickey in seen on top of a rock, commanding the water beside him as classical music plays and the iconic song from the movie is played. The storm gets rougher and rougher as the music flairs and the waves grow larger and larger. The music finally ends as the storm calms to calm Atlantic night in April.
Titanic (Scene 10)
This was actually the highest grossing film for a couple years until Avatar came along and brought new popularity and attention to the sinking of the Titanic. Guests see the Titanic hit the iceberg and begin to take on water, the ships bow starts to dip under the water as funnels collapse. The iconic ship then breaks in half as the bow slips under the water with the stern following soon after. Guests then see Rose on the door as she kicks Jack off the door even though there was more than enough room on that door.
Wizard of Oz (Scene 11, aka the finale) Guests then enter Munchkin city as they sing and dance to the Munchkin Melody as Dorothy watches and dances along. The Wicked Witch then shows up and threatens everyone before rain comes out of nowhere and she begins to melt and she runs away with her flying monkeys. Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tinman, and the Cowardly Lion starts to follow the yellow brick road as "We're Off To See the Wizard" plays. This is where the ride ends and guests enter the unload station.
The ride in this version of Hollywood Studios has one less scene, the ride is far more elaborate and extensive than the one in our timeline.
