Some years ago, Disney was planning to give Disney's Hollywood Studios a new name. They wrote out some names and then sent them out to people to see which one they liked best. Among the choices, all rather interesting, were "Disney Kaleidoscope Park", "Disney XL Park", "Disney Legend Park" and "Disney Cinemagine Park". The last choice seemed to be the one that came the closest, but they decided to keep "Hollywood Studios". I can see why they would want to rename it, as the name gives off what it once was but is no more: a working studio. That's why it confuses me a bit to see that they would continue to call it "Hollywood Studios". People here seem to think "studios" is still acceptable, as it apparently is another word for "movies". They claim that it works because it's about intellectual properties. "Studio" apparently is used in the metaphorical sense. But here's a question: do you go to a studio theater to watch a studio? Or do you go to a movie theater to watch a movie? I'm pretty sure most people would say the latter.
That's why I believe that they should come up with a new name for the park, because the additions of Toy Story Land and Galaxy's Edge have absolutely nothing to do with being a working movie studio. And I want to take Walt Disney Studios Paris into account, because whatever they go with in Florida, they need to go with in France, too.
Anyway, my three choices are either "Disney Hollywood Kaleidoscope Park", which I think fits as a sort of whirling mix of Hollywood stuff, "Disney Hollywood Cinemagination Park", because it's all about going into a Hollywood that's honest about not being real but a fantasy Hollywood (maybe Walt Disney Studios Paris could just be "Disney Cinemagination Paris" or something), or, to keep it simple, maybe "Disney Hollywoodland", which takes up far less space on any given surface than "Hollywood Studios".
Anyway, those are my ideas. How about you? What would you rename Hollywood Studios to if you had to rename it?
