still, gotta love the inflated PR used to announce these "attractions and shows"

News sometimes are just copied and pasted based on contracts. Like Reuters news..
they are spread and translated as-is in a lot of different countries and news groups.

I thought that was already copyrighted by people in California, thus why the California Adventure land had to be called "Hallywood Land".

So i was listening to the Dis unplugged podcast this morning and one of the hosts said they heard from a very good source that Cars Land will take over the former backlot area. Now i have also heard from many people on this site, that Toy Story playand is all but guaranteed in that spot. Does anyone know how reliable the Dis unplugged guys have been in the past with this sort of information?

The area in question (especially if LMA is being included as part of the backlot) is huge and could easily fit both and east coast Cars Land and TSPL. The footprint for TSPL is likely to be kinda small.

Maybe instead of using the words "Hollywood" or "studios" maybe they could or should work in the words relating to "films" or "cinema." I know "Cinemagic" is a little trite and used by other things but maybe something along the lines of that?

If they go this route, it will be a bigger re theme than DCA because all the Hollywood stuff would have to be redone as well as add attractions and such. Like idea but don't think it'll happen

When I was at MGM, the Studios, whatever you want to call it a few weeks ago, I felt like "Hollywoodland" was purposefully and abundantly displayed and casually mentioned more times than I can recall in the 20 years that I've been going to WDW. Having said that, I'm not quite sure if the mentions were always there and I was more aware of the phrase this time due to the impending name change, or if "Hollywoodland" was in actuality thrown around more in order for guests to start getting used to hearing the name. Just my two cents...

I don't get when people say they can't build RSR in DHS because Epcot has TestTrack. They may use the same ride system, but they appear to be very different rides. (I've not been on RSR, only seen ride-through vids) It's like saying they can't build a roller coaster because there already is one. Or they can't have more then one boat ride. I mean, MK has two mine train ride coasters!
My bet is on "Disney's Hollywoodland". They're already calling the place "Hollywoodland" in the Frozen events.
EDIT: I see @JohnD has already noted that. I agree!

They put Star Tours in DHS and Body Wars in Epcot and these have the exact same ride system, so I doubt that would be a concern for RSR. Anyone who has ridden both knows that they are very different rides.

They are pretty similar even with the different theme but I do believe they could co-exist in the 2 parks. What I would rather see is them come up with something new for test track (an all new ride and system) and then bring radiator springs racers to the studios. I know it has almost no chance of happening but that would be my ideal situation.

idk, it just seems too similiar. radiator springs feels as though it was made to be a west coast equivelent to test track. Thats why i think disney wouldnt want to spend so much money on a "similiar ride." But personally i hope i'm wrong and they build it! I'd love to ride RSR in hollywoodland! but as asked earlier, can we trust the validity of the rumor from dis unplugged?

I have ridden both and they are quite different. There may be other reasons for not bringing RSR to DHS, but I don't think that is one of them. If they have no problem cloning rides between parks, they won't have a problem with similar rides. As for DIS, I like their podcast, but rumors are not their strong point.

I say move Test Track to MGM and then restore World Of Motion, 2011 Tiki Room style.

Over the past few days I have been thinking about what some people had mentioned about Disney wanting to remove a majority of what the Movie Studio concept envisions. Wouldn't they have to remove the Disney Junior show and the Rest of Animation Courtyard? Also, there are very per siting rumors that have somewhat been qualified by some at Disney that the ride once called the Backlot Tour, will become an attraction/ land based on Pixar. How ever it was not mentioned whether it will be CarsLand, I kind of wish it be a more original Florida only ride and not a copy of the highly successful Disneyland Resort Ride.
