    Feb. 21st Star Wars land preview on ABC

    Nope. No sarcasm. Think about it. You could have a speeder bike coaster through the forests of the Endor Moon; entertwined with that, you could have an Ewok Village like the Swiss Family Treehouse, you could (at minimum) have a trench run ride, a coaster swerving in and out of AT-ATs on Hoth...

    I've known plenty about this for months.

    Feb. 21st Star Wars land preview on ABC

    I'm sorry. The new SW Land is an epic fail IMO. So much they could be doing and we'll be getting two new Star Tours - type attractions (yeah, maybe one will be decent), a cantina (re-themed Backlot Express), a restaurant (which will just be Prime Time and Hollywood & Vine re-themed) and an...

    Nickelodeon Coming To Universal

    You're completely missing the point. Nintendo, Hello Kitty and Nick may have small additions to the current parks, but it sounds as if they will be part of a new park, or parks, in the near future. Timetable I'm hearing is 3-5 years.

    Nickelodeon Coming To Universal

    Hearing rumblings that the reason the Holiday Inn owned Nickelodeon Suites Resort is being de-themed to Holiday Inn Orlando Water Park is because Nickelodeon did not renew its contract that is scheduled to expire in April. According to "friends," Universal will purchase rights to the IP once...

    Lady Tremaine Being Cut

    I will never ever ever understand meet and greet cuts. I understand the entertainment budget (yadda yadda) but M & G's are like mini-attractions, and incredibly, incredibly cheap in the scheme of things. You'd think Disney would want as many as they could because they disperse crowds, serve as...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    First off, I don't that stuff MiceAge was referencing was ever a serious part of the plans. I never heard anything at all about it and neither have the insiders that I'm aware of. I think the miscommunication last week has people clutching at straws. I don't think there's any reality to this...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Same as now. Left side around Echo Lake; right side around Echo Lake; and entrance from Muppets/Sci Fi cafe area.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    The concept art is VERY close to the finished product, just as the FLE art was. And no, the layout will be incredibly similar, but not exact.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I wonder how many people yell that every hour when they see him in the window at Star Tours. I'll bet it'd be an insane number!

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    They are counting on the huge rock formations and trees to serve as the transition, much like the castle walls at MK for the New Fantasyland. I believe much of it will be hidden by that last shop on the left as you go up the street. The picture attached is exactly what it will look like if you...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Yeah, I don't know where MiceChat got that. I think they were just running with the miscommunication from last week.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    No, not at all. I'm even of the belief he was referring to Avatar and not SW land. That's why I thought it was laughable. If it was for SWland, I don't believe it was ever a serious contender. As I said, it was never mentioned to me. Nothing. Nada.

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    After finally reading the article, I have to laugh about the "3rd attraction" being talked about. Not sure where this came from, but I can only imagine this may have been the "boat" thing that was inferred to last week. The article states that this was slashed due to budget cuts, but that...

    Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Okay, so this map of the DL version lines up EXACTLY with what I shared months ago. Not sure how they got their info, but this DL version lines up exactly as I explained it at WDW. The Milleneum Falcon Attraction is where Star Tours is at WDW. As I originally questioned, this will either be a...

    More closures confirmed for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Considering what a huge amount of the park it includes, I think it's a much bigger deal than you believe. You're talking about the entire back half of the park being closed now.

    More closures confirmed for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I agree, but Toy Story Land is basically being built on land backstage (besides the Backlot Tour, which needed to be replaced 10 years ago), so that's no loss. Star Wars should have happened a year ago and we all know why that is being fasttracked. The closing of LMA and SoA is the thing that...

    More closures confirmed for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    No. Absolutely not. The focus of the park has changed from how the movies are made to a celebration of the movies. Everything about how the movies are actually made is going away completely.

    More closures confirmed for Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Yes, but they have much more land to do it. Plenty of staging area as they demo the backlot and I would think enough staging where the meet and greets used to be for SW. With the parking, you actually have three construction zones.
