To a point, I understand this argument, but it all depends on what the general theme of the park is that you are trying to convey. If you are talking about a castle- style park where the goal is to transport you to another world and to immerse you in that world, then absolutely you cannot do...

Only if as soon as you open the door for the entrance of the theater, the John Williams score for the crawl starts blaring as the new land comes into view.

That's what I imagined and the reason I have the mix of excitement and trepidation. I'm still hoping for the DCA style announcement at some point in the (maybe distant) future to show that they do in fact have a concrete plan for the whole park.

I've been thinking a lot yesterday and this morning over the changes coming to the park and have come to a realization about the changes to the park layout that to me informs what will likely be closing/staying etc. I want to state for the record that I have no inside knowledge nor do I have...

One could hope, but it would just play into my other fear that they have absolutely no long term plan for DHS (or any other park for that matter). To me, the idea that Star Wars Land would start immediately off of Hollywood Blvd with no transition and no room for any other Lucasfilm property...

This is why I'm just cautiously optimistic about both of the announcements. If the new lands are going in the most heavily rumored spots for each location, I fear that this will leave DHS with the worst attraction count of any Disney theme park. If Star Wars Land is indeed taking over the area...

And are we thinking a Wicked island adventure or studio space?

So.....something Wicked?

Were TDO smart, I could see them wanting to open the makeover of DHS in waves, getting spikes with each new section opened. Start with Pixar Place, as it's largely an out of the way section of the park that can be built out with little impact on current guest flow. Open Pixar Place once fully...

Let me preface this by saying that the Great Movie Ride is one of my favorites and I would much rather see it get a great refurbishment than anything I'm suggesting below. But, in wondering about what the rumors mean for the GMR, I tried to think of a replacement that I would be happy with...

Agreed, but it's sadly the type of name I could see the current company believing would be appealing.

Looking at Jim Hill's domain registry digging, could the new name the company is looking at be Disney Epiq Quest?

I'm at a loss for words. There's really no reason for this (at least no good reason) and it is completely unnecessary. Disney('s) Hollywood Studios tells you everything you need to know. I would venture the vast majority of people go only expecting a theme park and not a working studio, so no...

One thing I never understood with the Rocket Rods change - if you couldn't bank the turns, why wouldn't you use a vehicle like those for Primeval Whirl or Goofy's Sky School. Take the turn a little faster and let the car spin. I mean I understand why they wanted to stick with the initial...

Disney could easily ramp up interests in the parks with a small start towards a LucasFilm Studios expansion at DHS. A couple of relatively easy retheme with an eye to a larger expansion. Backlot Express to the Mos Eisley Cantina and Sounds Dangerous into a ILM Special Effects Theater Show.

I have an idea I'm throwing out ( and releasing any claim to so it could be used ) ... First, I'm against the idea of cloning Radiator Springs Racers. Beyond just wanting something to be unique to DCA, I worry the ride would lose much of its charm divorced from the rest of Carsland. I...

With everyone talking about the layout and lands, I would like to see DHS simply strengthen the identifiable lands they have now. Less about genre and more about medium. To me it has increasingly seemed that you could identify the following themed areas in DHS, moving through the various forms...

If we do get the expanded Pixar Place, I hope Disney uses the "A Bug's Set" name that has been tossed about here for the play area. I'll go a bit further and add that I wouldn't mind seeing a "Cars Lot Tour".

If they add a hotel to the Venetian property, I could see it being the Disney Palace Resort - something like a hotel full of the theming found in the Disney Dream Suite. It would fill the hole they have in the pattern of hotels in the Magic Kingdom area (Grand Floridian - Main St.; Polynesian -...

To me, a great use of this space would be to turn it into Flynn's Arcade. Thematically it makes a great transition from the Walt Disney Co to Pixar, as Tron was a picture the Pixar folks worked on while at ILM. It could also serve as an architectural transition from the sound stages to the...
