DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

[Mike S]

The presence of the executives and the rumblings that are going on seem to indicate that what was approved includes Pixar and Star Wars.

Wait a minute RSox. Are telling me that Disney, has approved the DHS redo?

Ok sorry but the third track for TSMM is stupidly ridiculous! Just make it a new ride!!! There is no reason for a third track at all. I'm sure the defenders will disagree and complain about the wait times, but the only reason there r crazy waits for the ride is because it really is the only kid friendly ride in the park. It's just dumb and a waste of money that could be going elsewhere...

Did they really make that joke during the show? Priceless and oh so true

The Bill and Ted show is required attendance for anyone reading these threads. Mike you would love it, they skewer the Magic Bands (and their budget), Norway being ruined by Frozen, Fastpass+ messing everything up, Avatard land...

And the funny thing is the whole audience laughed at the Disney jokes, which shows it's not just a few of us crazies on here who have noticed this stuff.

I might just have to. First the Alien vs. Predator house and now this. Would be my first time at HHN.

AVP is the best house in my view, and it's a good night out if you haven't been before, and like I say, Mike I thought you may have written the script for Bill & Ted!

Wouldn't this level of stuff been approved in June when budgets are approved for the next fiscal year (and beyond)?

BANNED!!!!!


***just kidding... or am I?

Eastbound & down, captain....

 

[BrerJon]

Perhaps. But that's a lot of Potter spread across two parks within walking distance of each other. In retrospect they probably wish they had just dedicated a third gate to the boy wizard. At least that's how I would've done it.

Phase 3 might not be in a park...

Like what, an Azkaban hotel?

I assume so, or something similar.

As cool as a Harry Potter themed hotel likely would be, one has to question and oversaturation of the market.

The overall question is "10 they keep that occupied at 80% occupancy year-round"?

I don't know. But… as @Lee has said, they have to go before the board of directors to get the money.

So my gut instinct says both. They have to go get the money from the board and then they have to spread that out over X number fiscal years.

So - that begs the question. If there has been no approval to build new stuff yet, why are they closing things to make way for new stuff now? Especially since this park is very light on things to do in the first place.

Yes, I actually spoke with Doc Brown about it this trip.

Cost saving even if the intent is to add 'meh' stuff, by continuing to operate said attractions it still costs money. Plus it means they can spread the costs of relocating the stuff back there that is important i.e. costuming and sending items to the archives.

Given that stuff is closing, I would think it could start pretty soon. Land clearing almost immediately with construction beginning in January?

With all the props in the BLT, land can't just start clearing immediately.

They can use that as a talking point when presenting it to the board. "We've already shut down attractions, W, X and Y, which saves us Z amount of money"

Agreed. But it could be worse- imagine if its a Bob Iger meet & greet.

Cause it's MONEY MONEY MONEY BY THE POUND!!!

(TDO looking at plans to SAVE MONEY, not new attractions)

Do you guys think we'll hear anything about this during the WDW Destination D Event in November this year?
