Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame Plaza - (permanently?) closed

Nice try, it's food and drink eatery.

Sorely needed in this park. I hope the food is edible. I find the QSR menus at DHS to be ghastly (ironic since the park has some of my favorite TSRs.

I would imagine its going to be pretty simple-a glorified cart maybe with seating? It's not much space.

Well, the walls are down. And there's nothing there. It's just an empty plaza.

It's The Emporer's New Cafeteria.

It's the same as it was, just without the busts or statues or signs. So they could easily add a temporary food stand there as there is now a lot of space. But now there doesn't have to permanently be one in that space.

'Nothing...'

Is this an exercise in stripping DHS from a general movie park into a Disney property exposure park?

Yes. Yes it is.

Without the theme of "the making of movies/TV" and moving to "experiencing and being in the worlds/universes of movies", DHS will eventually become mostly IP Lands. There might be a safe haven for Hollywood and Sunset Blvds to be a "Land" of "Hollywood Magic"... but maybe someday it'll be a "Super Hero IPs We're Allowed To Use in Orlando Land."

Seems likely and reasonably so. DHS has not been a movie studio or even have that full blown theme for a long, long time. Really there was nothing special about that area, nothing exciting or even all that informative. It is a minor loss. A place that most people have just walked by over the last decade. Whatever, theme that the park takes on, probably mostly about movies and sci fy, it is no longer the place where movies are made. This transition is long overdue. But, really, concern about that Academy area is way over done.

That's what folks said at the time, however, since DHS closed down some of their other kiosks and Starring Rolls, that might be a sign they don't need more food kiosks.

I know this past Holiday Season, management at DHS were scouting places to put extra food carts for the holiday crowds, but, that's all gone now. Perhaps if they're big summer crowds, they can put the food carts there.

So what's going on with Starring Rolls? Still closed? Are they looking at putting something else there?
