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

[danlb_2000]

Personally do not object to the concept here but it's removal indicates a great new direction for the park. Very exciting.

The busts will be relocated and sounds like will still be available to the public. What will be interesting is the fate of the footprints. Preserved? Auctioned? Relocated? Destroyed?

Anyway, while time for a new chapter at DHS, Bob Newhart is still a comedic genius.

I can't remember, are the foot prints in that area, or are they over by the Great Movie Ride entrance?

Well as long as this statue and plaque remain for the rest of the park's duration then I personally will be happy

There's some in front of GMR, there might be more elsewhere though

JT has a moment of coherence.

The handprints/footprints are over by GMR. The only thing in this plaza was the busts and a few plaques on the back wall. Plus some awkward half-walls that made the walkway quite narrow.

I think it's a good move, seemingly that they are adding food options here. I just hope the Walt Disney bust stays, or a new statue gets made for him for somewhere else. Kind of random, but I just wish Hollywood Studios would get a water ride like Grizzly River Run or Splash.

The remaining handprints of the celebrities are at the Theater of the Stars (BaTBLoS)..

The handprints of Disney's remaning of the 9 old men was removed from the courtyard when the SWLB took over the animation building..

And whenever they rename the park again they can have an overlay over another overlay over the original dedication plaque.

Or they can just take off the hollywood studios case and put a new one on...

I can't get over how bizarre all of this is? Like, was anyone here expecting a restaurant?

Well, they started doing those Echo Lake Eats carts, maybe that was some sort of test or something?

 

[Daddyoh]

I seriously HOPE NOT this was a special historic perspective of Disney history it's removal will be VERY VERY DISAPPOINTING. The area that these tributes take nothing away as far as room at the Studios and we will sorely miss this area. I can understand it if they moved it to The Great Movie Ride area there is plenty of room there. Why is there so much interest in removing "HISTORY" from our culture ? Walt Disney should NEVER be forgotten as well as the stars that so many of us have grown up with. Progress be "DAMMED" keep these iconic tributes in the park, after all NOT everything is "Stars War" related.

Yes. This and Writer's Stop had the same last day of operation.

The 9 old man removal got me

 

[RapunzelsWeave]

And.......... What is the point of removing this?

I saw on another blog that it's going to be a new dining option. Which, DHS could use a new signature dining experience. Brown Derby is always hopelessly busy.

Its not going to be a restaurant, more like a hot dog or popcorn cart.

The MK has two popcorn / drink / snack locations in the hub, but at DHS I don't think there is much close by to grab a drink when waiting for the nighttime spectacular, this should be a good addition for that purpose.

The central hub at Studios actually has 3 popcorn stands, a pretzel/churro cart, an ice cream cart, Min and Bill's, and the Brown Derby Lounge, but I digress. A food cart still wouldn't be a horrible idea as long as it's in the same vein as Echo Lake Eats and doesn't just sell the same old food that you expect from a Disney food stand.

 

[Monorail_Red_77]

Here's a thought. Maybe they can squeeze the busts in over at GMR courtyard. I think that would be a pretty good fit, no matter what direction the park takes. So long as GMR remains . Although I'm not sure how long that will actually last given the Mickey rumors.

I'm guessing I just couldn't see them from where I was watching the fireworks then

But yes I agree, a food stand that isn't hot dogs, funnel cakes or popcorn would be nice.
