DHS New "Flex" Theater

[Next Big Thing]

Dedicated dance party space... I suppose this is what we get for asking them to move the hat and the stage.

It's much more than a space for dance parties (and will be)

I assume this was needed to be built before they get started on the rest of the park????

I wouldn't mind if this area is turned that part of the park more toward a Villians themed land. Re-theme RnR, BatB, a night time shows in the arena and plenty of meet and greets, retail, Places to eat. Lots of potential for DHS. Plus, you already have Tower of Terror right there.

Loooove this!

Do any of the insiders know if they are considering connecting this area back to where Playhouse Disney is or over to Toy Story land via a back road? I think many agree that one of the biggest issues with DHS as it stands (asides from lack of rides and cohesive theming) is the accessibility of walkways throughout the park (narrow walkways and dead ends). Really really hope this is addressed.

They really can't. RnRC is too much in the way.

Put me down as excited for the dance party...even if it will be temporary.

I'm extremely excited about the dance party. My kids love Radio Disney - this could be the highlight of the Christmas trip!

Sunset isn't narrow though so it isn't so much of an issue, except for after Fantasmic, when backstage gets opened anyway.
The narrow issues are around Muppets, Mermaid and those areas that were never designed as guest areas.

So where is the entrance to this thing? Is it INSIDE the RnRC area? or is it right before the entrance?

Wow, is it just me or does the theming for this flex theater drastically clash with it's surroundings? For some reason it's hard to swallow... I feel like it's 1996 all over again.

I was actually thinking they did a great job making this look just like all the other Hollywood buildings. Granted, I don't know how long that theme is going to stick around, but for now it blends right in with the rest of the park, looking like it's been there since day one.

It looks like all the other buildings. Not sure what you mean.

Go down Sunset, turn left like you're going to RnRC, but then keep walking. There's a big gate, and it's behind the gate, next to the RnRC building.

This is true... I think I was just bitter that day I wrote that comment...

I haven't seen this officially listed anywhere so I figured I would post it. An upcharge club villian dining event is coming to the Sunset Theater.

So the villain show rumours were sort of true. Its just its an extra ticket event. Feels very expensive again though.

I really cannot understand this logic when DHS is going to be hurting until Toy Story and Star Wars opens....We need more to do, not add on events that many guests will not choose.

Edit- so it's dance party by day and villains show at night/weekends as a hard ticket event? Is that correct?

So just walk outside the theater, hook a left toward that big silver ball and keep walking due north... you can't miss it. Just tell them, 'Marty sent you.

Best line ... of a pretty good show.
