If only that's what this was.

The potential problem is it's unmanaged which means you can expect the highest usage of it at the busiest times of day. Those points when standby and lightning lane waits are the highest are when you'll likely see this getting the most usage making things worse during those time periods across...

They can afford to do better in a lot of ways but they don't. Why? I have my own thoughts on this but if providing more unique location-based merchandise was a way to get people to spend more on souvenirs, why do you think current management, outside of a few isolated situations, would seem so...

Couldn't possibly agree more. 😞

Like I said 😏 But in seriousness, that's not a comprehensive list. That's My Dog (a game show) filmed there for, I think 3 seasons. The first one was outside near residential street before moving to a soundstage at Universal for a season and then back to MGM for the rest of the run. Superboy...

Oh, I know it still has themed areas but after Galaxy's edge and Toy Story Land, it feels like the holllwood stuff is just a themed land in the park now rather than the actual park.

I could have sworn the bulk of Streets had at one time been part of Backlot tour before slowly being eaten away for things like the Huncback theater and HISTKS play area. Yeah, the short-lived Alice did use the exterior of one of the houses on Residential a bit.

Is anyone even still holding onto the "studio" idea of things anymore? This makes sense but what if people still want to yell?

Was someone getting uppity about this here in this thread or are your feather's just ruffled because we're taking shortcuts with typing out the name? ;)

I was talking about the live stuff. Regarding the animation, though, I'd be curious how much of that work was tweening vs. keyframe drawing, on average. Either way, I'm sure it was easier to get an animator to relocate to FL than it was to get most name actors to show up in town to do...

I'd say that location has been massively underutilized, almost since it was converted. Not to say there should be no Playhouse Disney/Disney Jr. in the park - just that there's elsewhere it could go. What's up with the Sounds Dangerous location these days? That seems like a better sized...

Most of the stuff that started there either didn't stay there or "didn't make it". ;)

They'd do wrestling there every once in a while, I think, too but a lot of that was an attempt to legitimize it making a strong point, just like with your Wheel of Fortune and the radio show, Live From Walt Disney World that it was in fact, done at Disney's MGM studios. The "boneyard" featured...

Oh definitely and for a time, Universal even made a real effort to use them. I just meant the Disney stuff was largely a pretend backlot - it was themed as "backlot" so it didn't have to make sense. They could transition into Echo lake with Mama Melrose's and Prime Time overlooking a pond with...

When it opened and was supposed to be like a real working studio, it made more sense. These were "backlots" even though the area at the entrance and around echo lake represented a golden age Hollywood that wasn't likely to ever get used for anything, really. (almost none of that kind of stuff in...

No clue but I'd assume Monstropilis building FRONTS (likely not actual full buildings) will cover up the VOTLM building from Monstropilis. My guess is that they're not going to try as hard here as they did with Star Wars to worry about the transition but time will tell.

There's never really been a queue for One Man's Dream. You just kind of collect at the end of the museum stuff and go in when the doors open.

I'd say think more facade. Remember Streets of America?

Maybe they're having trouble with the control of the automated floating barges? Calling it now - Kitetales 2.0! 😏

Welcome. You must be new, here. The sour grapes are over on the buffet table. Help yourself. They're mostly all we get around here but at least they're all-you-can-eat. ;)
