I now have my final (more of less) list of rides and attractions for my Disney Studios park, in my proposal for a 6th Disney theme park resort. As I have posted earlier, Disney Studios will mainly be a production facility, with a few rides and attractions as of the park resort's opening. The reason for this is since one of the things I wanted for this park was a production facility of some sort as of opening day (or shortly afterward).
Disney Studios will open with six soundstages (twice the number as Disney-MGM in Orlando), a backlot which includes a new Residential Street (no longer at Disney-MGM), a working animation studio, along with the Earfell Tower-- which will be an actual water tower for the studio and park, not an oversized prop like Disney-MGM's tower! Disney Studos with originally have 14 rides and attractions; twice the number as Hollywood Pictures at Disneyland's California Advenuture, and approximately 2/3 the number Disney-MGM Studios at WDW has. In other words, a direct compromise between Disney-MGM and Hollywood Pictures, more or less!
Here is my list of rides and attractions for opening day:
1.) Cinemagic Special Effects Stage
2.) Disney Studio 1: which consists of:
a.) Sound Studio: a mock sound effects studios where guests add SFX to various Disney cartoons!
b.) TV Zone: similar to the former Disney-MGM TV Zone, where guests interact with characters from both classic and current TV sitcoms!
3.) The Great Movie Ride: which will include primarily different movie scenes from Disney-MGM's ride.
4.) Hyperion Theater: a 2,000 seat theater designed like a movie palace theater from the early days of Hollywood. Hyperion Theater presents a multi-character show similar to the Disney Cruise Line show; but not the same exact show, just similar. I have heard a lot of good things about DCL's show, so I decided on something very much like it!
5.) Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular: even though Disney-MGM has this, I think this is one of their very best shows, so I decided that Indiana Jones should be included here as well!
6.) Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D
7.) Lilo & Stich's Hawaiian Roller Coaster: This will be located in the Animation Courtyard, along with Magic of Disney Animation studio and the Tron ride (both described below)
8.) Magic of Disney Animation: This is an actual working animation studio, working in three diferent types of animation! This is something that Disney-MGM, Hollywood Pictures, and Disney Studios Paris can't claim:
a.) Cel Animation
b.) Computer Animation
c.) Clay Animation
In addition, there will be an interactive area where guests learn a few tricks of the animation trade, much like the area that the Disney Studios Paris animation studio has!
9.) Star Tours
10.) Studio Tour: Behind the Scenes
11.) That's Entertainment! Hollywood Gallery: This includes exhibits and artifacts from Hollywood and the entertainment industry in general; both past and present!
12.) Tron: The Ride: This is based on an earlier proposal on the Imagineer forum, and will be located in the Animation Courtyard.
13.) The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
14.) Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?: Play It!
In addition, Disney Studios will include:
* a Hollywood-based parade similar to the Walt Disney Studios parade at Disneyland Paris. This parade will also include the movie projector float with Tinker Bell sitting in front of the lens from that parade! In addition, Hollywood-themed songs will be incorporated into the parade; such as Hooray For Hollywood, We're In the Money, You Ought to Be in Pictures, and That's Entertainment!, just to mention a few!
* Sorcery In the Sky Fireworks: which will be presented each night!
I'll try to start designing my map renderings of Disney Studios sometime soon. One thing I wanted to do was to have a hub-type design, which would make this park easier to navigate that Disney-MGM. If anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post!
