Guardians, Peggy Carter, The Incredibles, Big Hero 6, Doctor Strange.... All super hero properties available.
Meh thats like calling ed ed and eddie a cartoon....yes technically but who cares? However you are correct. Still a bunch of crap that is not needed.
If they simply use the theme of Tokyo's tower (and the pre-show effects), that would work fine. Gives another vague tie-in with the S.E.A. as well, as those are slowly showing up around property.As it stands the TZ theme is at risk being replaced by a generic zone of twilight-esque theme. Not Donald goes ghost hunting or similar.

This would lead to ToT being a completely Disney property, and one they could go ahead and make the new movie about. (Even the Kirsten Dunst movie had no Twilight Zone references in it!)
WDSP is turning into a Disney parks museum, isn't it? Backlot Tour, Catastrophe Canyon, Animation, TZToT, LMA, water tower, movie history attractions, Streets of America-ish façades, Horizons props.ANY TOT FANS FLY TO PARIS!

Who'd have thought the cheap clone said:So far it isn't...unless some idiot toys with WDW's tower. (Unless, of course, you're talking about simply the Twilight Zone theme here should it get removed).
Not only is Paris a cheap clone, it's a clone of a cheap clone!!(To be fair, I think the Tokyo one is also the same basic ride, just with a different story and appearance).
Now, pretend you are in a Disney boardroom. Convince them that it's smarter to do all that just to "promote" a little remembered 20-year-old direct to video feature starring two has-been Holloywood stars, versus the huge brand they just unexpectedly created by unearthing GoG from the depths of obscurity.
I always thought Guardians of the Galaxy could be a nice overlay replacement for RnR. I would say the ride would be the begining of the first Guardian's movie. The preshow would have guests following Quill by getting the Orb. The ride part would be the guests boarding the Milano and escaping Korath and his crew. Another thing these two have in common is the music. The guardians overlay would play the songs that are in the film/soundtrack. Just a thought. This is my first post on here since visiting for quite some time.
The GotG was somewhat surprising, but it's not like they were all sitting in the back issue bin before the movie came along. After the comic revival in the mid-2000s, the characters were put in other media, such as the Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes cartoon and Marvel vs. Capcom 3. So, it wasn't entirely out of nowhere. It was still a risk, but a calculated one that was building on the characters' prior success.
Wasn't it confirmed that they are making a new ToT movie. Maybe they will tie it in with that.As it stands the TZ theme is at risk being replaced by a generic zone of twilight-esque theme. Not Donald goes ghost hunting or similar.
Your pictures kind of proved my point. Tall facades on both sides of the street, attractions, street car cables overhead, an actual streetcar which travels to the base of the Tower vs short generic shops on one side and open seating on the other. Sure, the Hyperion definitely needs a face lift, but Buena Vista Street/ Hollywoodland are sone of Disney's best themed areas. It reminds me of the difference between WDW's Main Street and Disneyland's. WDW's has more space, but Disneyland's feels like a real place with a cinema, fire station, magic shop, etc. DHS' Sunset Blvd feels very much like an amusement park row of shops and eatery leading up to the big attraction.
Sunset Boulevard is far more elaborately themed than Hollywoodland, and the quality of Sunset and BVS are about the same.

The eatery was "temporary".DHS' Sunset Blvd feels very much like an amusement park row of shops and eatery leading up to the big attraction.
Exactly...they could retain all of Sunset's old Hollywood style and then access RnRC from behind the new shops and facades..a whole GOTG theme hidden from view so that TOT could remain in iot's current format...The eatery was "temporary".
Imagine a 1940s facade on that side too.
With cleverer writers.True but I could see the Muppets fitting into the theme of liberty square with clever show writters. How does a ip heavily influenced by 80s and 90s video games fit into Tomorrowland?
I just take people less seriously when they say Hollywoodland in DCA is better then Sunset or Hollywood BlvdExactly...they could retain all of Sunset's old Hollywood style and then access RnRC from behind the new shops and facades..a whole GOTG theme hidden from view so that TOT could remain in iot's current format...
I would have to agree with you there... DHS version is far superior...in every way.I just take people less seriously when they say Hollywoodland in DCA is better then Sunset or Hollywood Blvd
I love the movie and Musical Sunset Boulevard so so much. Its one of Webber's most underrated shows and the film is such a. classic. Any nods to that movie would be lovely.I would have to agree with you there... DHS version is far superior...in every way.
It would be a fun nod to Old Hollywood to place a new facade towards the end of Sunset Boulevard of Norma Desmond's Mansion with a low garden wall.. a perfect addition to the area near the Hollywood Tower Hotel...both symbols of ruined Hollywood glamour...
