Totally agree, for me this was the best part of the proposed eastern gateway (and I’m one of the smucks who stays on harbor). i really hope this area doesn’t become an extension of marvel campus, I enjoy the old Hollywood theme. But with the likely cost of moving the monorail, coupled with the re imagining of the eastern entry area, only something big like Marvel will justify it to upper management.
i always thought a hotel would go well in that area, maybe with private entrances to both parks, a roof top restaurant looking out over the esplanade, the center of the hotel could work like the contemporary in DW, with the monorail and Easter pedestrian path running through the middle. Off subject
i wonder if Rearranging the monorail around that back lot is limbo, as the possibility of the figure 8 above autopia May get removed also... like wonder if they just wann do both rearrangings at he same time.
I mean yeah, I just thought a massive entry hotel similar to how Paris operates would be cool. But yes a waste of space.
Sure two hotels taking up valuable park space is redundant. I’ve never stayed at GCH because of said price.
The whole splitting up the lands seems so odd to me, but marvel is the bread winner these days. Wonder if Hollywood land is just screwed either way. It’s not doing much to move the needle in terms of entertainment. With MAMRR off the map hard to imagine what “Hollywood” inspired ride or ip could go back there. Thus it always circles back to marvel land part 2 divided by a clumsily decorated broadway show building.
Well pressler and his indoor snowball fights saved my summer that year, both my girls were in deep with frozen fever. And with matterhorn and her snow caps already in fantasyland....maybe your right. Disney’s California hodgepodge.
The best way is to simple erase Hollywood Blvd from existence and replace with frozen and more marvel. Though I’d prefer a though full expansion or re do of the Hollywood land.
Feels like 3 marvel rides is plenty for this resort. besides the animation building coupled with the Disney junior building could be gutted and used for a campus Expansion. The Hollywood side in this scenario gets a simple facade and/or shallow shops and what yet. Marvel could also take over the Hyperion building if need be. I personally loved the great movie ride and think it could be redone for that backlot area vs a disjointed marvel or frozen or coco area. Seems like a solid use (GMR) for many of the fox properties that have no home in a Disney park. I say this as I also love the Buena vista to Hollywood transaction and story and how it keeps DCA feeling very Disney.
