Disney's Hollywood Studios: What's Next

[M.rudolf]

I don't think the Great Movie Ride is in another park, or Muppets for that matter (although i'm not as sure on the latter)

And RNR is in Disney Studios Paris.

But nevertheless, I used to feel that Carsland should be exclusive to DCA. It's an innovative expansion that has taken immersion and storytelling to a whole new level. But I've had a change of heart since visiting DHS last week. Although I really enjoyed my stay, I do think it needs a face lift, and Cars is the perfect shot in the arm for DHS, because it has already proven to be a success.

It's not about the exclusivity of attractions for me anymore. If that were the case then why are there several Magic Kingdoms scattered throughout the world with similar layouts and attractions such as Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, Tower of Terror, and other classics. While I do feel Carsland throughout the world can be a bit redundant, I'm on board with the idea of bringing Radiator Springs Races, and a few other components from Carsland to DHS. To me, building RSR in DHS is like building Tower of Terror in DCA. Both had different origins and both are fantastic attractions.

If it aint broke, don't fix it. WDW 'stealing' DCA's thunder for this I don't buy anymore. This type of thing has been done for both US parks throughout the years, and around the world as well. DCA will always be the original, and putting Cars in DHS is not taking anything away that fact. The imagination and creativity of TDA in building wonderful concept of theme park design will always be greated with countless guests in the future.

What Disneyland is just going to stop building and attracting new guests after Carsland? Don't they have a rumored E-ticket Tomorrowland concept and DCA Phase 2 on the horizon. Disneyland is not done, not by a long shot. Both coasts will always continue to grow, and transporting a great attraction to the east coast so that others who maybe couldn't make it out to Cali can enjoy it...I don't see a problem with it anymore.

Muppets is in DL your right about Great Movie Ride. Oops. I never said anything about DL stopping building, with so many unused properties DW could put in something original. Why not attract guest to both coasts with innovative,imaginative ideas.

DHS's Identity is real sticking point for me. If you want to have it themed to Hollywood and the movies, I personally think you need to do more then have rides/attractions based on movies, you can already find these in the other parks. For me taking away the backlot tour and LMA and replacing it with Carsland is a step in the wrong direction since you are taking away two attractions which are about movie making. I am not saying that those two attractions are perfect, especially not back lot tour, but I would rather see these get refreshed and something new be brought to another area of the park.

The other option is drop the "how movies are made" attractions entirely and strongly theme each part of the park to a certain type of movie or form of entertainment.

It has no identity now the only thing not in another park is Indy stunt show,backlot tour,Voyage of Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast stage shows. Everything else is in another park. Maybe Carsland can bring in some cohesiveness. At least Pixar Place will consist of more than just a ride and a gift kiosk. I don't want a clone either but it's something, the people at DL should be upset with this.

There are so many fantastic Disney films... That means so many opportunities to dream up something new and just as wonderful as Cars Land, for DHS in WDW.
