DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

[doctornick]

I'd like to see it go in where Muppets is and Muppets go in Imagination. Then Streets of America becomes Monstropolis.

Laugh Floor easily be put into the Premiere Theater is (where the sing along is) if they wanted to move it to the SoA area.

No, i'm not. I just think if you are going to spend the money you'd have to spend to make a 3rd track, why not just build a new ride which will eat capacity as well.

If it's a larger expansion as you say, there should be enough additional capacity that a 3rd track isn't needed.

I'm not disputing your opinion. You made the point that it can't be a 3rd track for TSMM because these executives wouldn't come all this way if it was just that. I agree that they wouldn't come all this way to see just that. But if TSMM expansion was part of a larger project then it would make sense that the executives would come to see it along with the rest of the plans.

As far as not needing a 3rd track if there is an expansion, that's debatable. It's not really for us to decide anyway. They doubled Dumbo despite adding new rides and the same logic could have been applied. Add a different spinner ride instead of Dumbo. But people want to ride Dumbo so new capacity wasn't going to reduce demand. TSMM is a popular ride from a popular franchise too. I know it's just one small example, but still relevant. There was a whole thread about the Soarin and TSMM expansions where both sides were argued at length. I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens.

I would say no.

almost feels like Disney PR just hired Comical Ali as their spokes man.

"There are no Executives and Imagineers currently at DHS. We will roast the insides of those silly Universal Fanboys for speaking such lies!"

I hate this idea.
But dammit....I trust your info.

But there must be something bigger planned if all the big wigs are down there, wouldn't you think Lee?

I say move the flippin' laugh floor to DHS. And while they're at it...move the autopia there too and theme it to Sugar Rush from Wreck it Ralph. Then make tomorrowland WORTH visiting by buidling some new stuff....that's well done for a change.

On a side note...what the friggin' heck is going on with the Top Brass and imagineers at DHS? IS something brewing? Should I get somewhat excited?

I agree with moving Laugh Floor and autopia, but not Sugar Rush. Theme it to Cars. Such a great plot of land it would free up at MK =)

There is.
TSMM expansion is the start. Tip of the iceberg.

LMA is not long for this world.

Haven't read through all the posts, but what are the thoughts around an Incredibles attraction? Especially given a sequel in the works.

 

[Studios Fan]

Do we think they will just keep LMA open until after the holidays and then close it as well?

Now let's hope the plans stay this way. Could be exciting.

Part of the iceberg

Not long as in closing next week or next year?

I would guess some pre-existing clones, nothing original.

I love that there's another Incredibles film in the works though.

I have a hard time seeing LMA being closed before the Holidays based on the fact DHS needs capacity for the Holidays since the backlot tour is closes on September 27th for good.

The big question is how Disney is how long in a day can Disney keep guests at Disney Hollywood Studios after LMA closes? I am asking this because LMA is a crowd eater and it decreases the amount of attractions a guest wants to see at DHS.

when you mean expansion does that more toy story like attractions? Or an actual expansion of the ride.

That's the thing. There's a tipping point where they simply have to keep things open to have enough to do in a day. I've got to think that LMA stays open through the holidays at least. In the meantime, something needs to open in the AIE space (or the Frozen sing a long moves there with something backfilling the Premiere Theater).

It's nice to hear some insiders say "stuff is coming", but I've got to wonder "when". The good news for me is that I probably won't be back to WDW for 2+ years so I'm hoping that there's some actual additions (and fewer closures) by that time.

 

[ezralou]

Ok Lee, Marni, Drew, V. Soul- can we get a hint for the franchise coming or maybe the ride system for an anchor attraction? Can't blame a guy for asking....

LMA should be open through the holidays, yes.

I would expect 2QFY15. or 3Q.

If they could say, I'm sure they would. I'm pretty sure they aren't holding back just for the fun of it. (Well, maybe a little bit...) ;-)
