No...that would be really expensive and it's a well-themed area of the park. I just don't think the park will be themed as guests literally being in the 1940s. Think of Hollywood Blvd. and Sunset Blvd. more as sets. That's honestly the only way that the rides in the park can fit in, since everything is very clearly placed in modern day. It was easier to argue that it was set in the 1940s when the Great Movie Ride was the only ride in that area of the park, but everything since then has gone against that theme and the GMR, luckily, is themed so that it could also be set in the present day.but - by changing it to disney-pixar - that's the same as mgm - it's still a movie themed park - do you think they would tear down the themeing of the 1940's Golden Hollywood Era just because of the Pixar name change? I can see them changing the animation courtyard to pixar - and redoing the animation studios there - and maybe taking all of the backlot tour for pixar stuff - but I would be the 1940's themeing on sunset and hollywood will be there... right?
I don't think rebranding the park Disney-Pixar Studios will ruin the park any more than being Disney-MGM Studios has. How many MGM rides are there? Not many. The focus, first and foremost, is on the entertainment industry as a whole, and it'll stay that way. I guess they feel that since the park has had two names since it opened, it should stay that way. I figure they will have the new ride, parade, maybe some additions over at Disney Animation, and perhaps a new show based on a Pixar movie. Maybe they could be ahead of the bar for once and have something based on a movie that is not several years old--like a Ratatouille stage show. I am not sure the park needs more shows, but there is no time to build a new ride by May of 2008. The old Superstar Television theatre, however, could handle a new show--and they could fully enclose it so it can have good lighting. How nice it would be to see something new in that Superstar TV/Sounds Dangerous! building...
