DHS Makeover - What we know so far.....

[ToTBellHop]

So, back on the topic of the DHS redo....

It seems the new vibe is that things are getting "accelerated" and we'll see work for TSL start soon and mass closures and construction after the new year. Would it be reasonable to expect all three "phases" to be done by 2020 or so?

Yes, it would. Although it might be safer to say IN 2020 rather than BY 2020.

Thanks for reposting the overlay - I guess it WOULD fit.

It's going to be smaller so it would fit regardless.

It's certainly going to be different.

13. E ticket Cars darkride likely
14. Star Wars E Ticket 1
15. Star Wars E Ticket 2
16. Star Tours

18. Jedi Training Academy moves to Sounds Dangerous
19. new dining galore

And possibly more in the early 2020s.

An excellent theme park.

Center Stage is no longer there, man.

BTW, does anyone else feel like Great Movie Ride needs an update? Face it...there are so many films in there people hardly know, namely Footlight Parade, Public Enemy, The Searchers, A Fistful of Dollars and Tarzan.

We really need to see new movies in the ride. Unfortunately, given the ride's current sponsor is Turner Classic Movies, I don't think that'll happen.

But still, it needs an update. Replace Public Enemy with The Godfather, do some modern-day Westerns replacing the old Westerns, maybe add on to the sci-fi section, replace Tarzan and put in an extended horror or romance section. And get rid of that unneeded Robert Osborne narration.

Center Stage is new. It's the name of the park's hub, where a permanent stage will soon be erected.

Replace Public Enemy with The Godfather

You want to replace PE with Grandmaster Flash? I guess that's okay since he basically pioneered modern hip hop DJ-ing, scratching and such... Plus being the first Hip Hop artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame he really was The Godfather...

I believe the whole idea behind the Great Movie Ride was to showcase movies from the great Hollywood eras of the late 30's and 40's. It's so they don't get forgotten and they did add some newer ones for recognition. They were the greats of the Hollywood the never was and always will be.

...no. I was referring to the 1972 film masterpiece The Godfather. Directed by Francis Ford Coppola, starring Marlon Brando as Don Corleone, Al Pacino and James Caan as his sons, won the Academy Award for Best Picture...Surely you know this film.

do some modern-day Westerns replacing the old Westerns,

Problem is there isn't many modern-day westerns, much less any good ones. Only really good Westerns made in the last twenty years are the True Grit remake and Rango.

Silverado? Pale Rider?

 

[DisneyManOne]

I was thinking of something along the lines of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and Dances with Wolves. Just replace the first half of the Western town with a Western desert, and you've got an area that can serve both films.

And I actually do like the idea of Blazing Saddles. Just give the town new signs so that it looks more like Rock Ridge, replace the bank robbery with the fight scene (with no animatronics; all live actors) and give the cowboy hijacker some new lines and boom! We got a new cowboy switch.

Ohh c'mon Back To the Future 3 was pretty awesome.

Django Unchained!

What, you don't think that would fly at a family theme park?

NO no no .... Now I love some PE and "It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back" but there was only one Godfather and his name was James Brown.
