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

[JenniferS]

And if we keep Iger and all the other suits in their current positions long enough, this could happen in the near future...

Of course, this picture is mocking Disney's obsession with Frozen, but given what Iger and his mooks have been doing regarding the hype and merchandising Frozen brought in its wake, it may happen sometime soon...

...anyone else feeling paranoid right now?

P.S. Also note how Disney is marked with the (R) sign. That would be definitive proof that Iger's gone off the deep end.

Yeah, but what time is the 3:00 parade?

This thread is about the future of Disney's Hollywood Studios, not your dislike of the film Frozen. Disney is cashing that cow, we know.

And as in the future of DHS we would not like to see more Frozen. That is what we are really discussing.

Getting somewhat back on track, I've put together how I understand things as it stands at the moment. I thought it may be easier to illustrate.

This is everything I'm aware as having been looked at. I can't vouch for anything still moving forward or not. I've also been deliberately vague with the exact extent of particular areas. Nor can I really go into greater detail about some of it.

Green - phase one
Red - phase two
Yellow - phase three
Blue - phase four
Orange - changes / enhancements
Purple - infrastructure

What is this Phase 4 thing out here?

I concur.
Nice work.

Martin, that is awesome!

I'm actually really please with something that is perhaps silly -- the infrastructure on the other side of World Drive. If that gets used (presumable as a new backstage area, maybe as parking for CMs), that means they are serious about better utilizing the existing land at DHS more efficiently.

One question @marni1971... Any idea the timeframe for the changes/enhancements (orange)? I am hoping we see them sooner rather or later to have more/different offerings given the park's sorry state.

Thanks! Quick question, if you can answer, why are they keeping SoA around as is? Just seems weird.

I know. LOL It was a (very) bad joke on my part.

Wow...that yellow section is huge more than enough room for a fully fleshed out Carsland if wanted.

Also interesting are all those small orange updates.

BTW is the small green circle echo lake? And do we know what is going there?

Wait, that old wacky bridge-over-World-Drive rumor is legit??

Or anything else.

Monster. INC?

 

[G00fyDad]

Literally anything but Cars (for me). I just do not see the point. Of course, if we are not careful we'll get Frozenland.

Question of the last months of 2015! If SOA is staying, why can't Osborne???? Was it a last minute decision to keep SOA? Maybe Disney can do something with Osborne now?????????

I'm under the impression it's more of an access and logistics issue for both guests and equipment, for both SOA, Toy Land and the wider park. I do expect some of SOA to be impacted temporarily and permenantly.

The majority of the actual lighting is new each year anyway. It could be put anywhere if they wanted to.
