Disney says the name DHS is remaining for the foreseeable future.

Sticking with DHS makes sense. People who are already familiar with the name won't be confused now and they don't have to spend a ton of money to rebrand and update all of the signs, brochures, flyers, billboards, etc. Not to mention that Cineimagine was a terrible sounding name.
I know some will gripe about the word Studios being left but to me it's really no different than Epcot not actually being an E.P.C.O.T., MK containing lands not associated with a traditional kingdom, or Disneyland's redundant use of the "...land" suffix throughout the park.

If you look closely into that last line in the blog, it is clear that the "cine" in "cineigamine" does not apply to the mission statement. It is a park about movies, music, television and theatre.

Finally, we can put this to rest. We knew, with the addition of Grand Avenue, that they were still (abet loosely) basing the park off "Hollywood". Just glad they officially squashed the thousands of rumors and bad jokes.

lol. Wish there was a sarcasm filter for this forum.
But hey, I'm not in charge. Let people continue prattling on about what they would have changed the name to. I know where the door is, I'll show myself out.

It hit mainstream social media and was roundly panned.

Well, yes, but I think it basically means that while they might want to change the name, Cinemagine Park has proven to be a dud.

Well, foreseeable future implies that something unforeseen would have to happen for them to change the name of the park.
Of course, Disney PR says many things that turn out to not be true, but they really did not have to make any comment about the park's name if they didn't want to. To me, this implies that the previous thinking inside the company that the park needed a new name as part of its redevelopment has changed. The possibility of a new name is something they could tease at to build buzz among the fan community even if they hadn't settled on a new name. Despite this, they chose to flatly deny that the park will be renamed. The explanation also makes perfect sense and echoes why a lot of us thought changing the name was completely unnecessary.
