Hollywood Studios Park Wide Changes Incoming?

Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the GMR

?

He knew!

Let's start the rumours for them then.

Mickey and Minnie Mouse in the GMR and The Black Hole n Rollercoaster.

The Spaceman and King Authur live! on stage.

And a Watcher in the Woods scare maze behind Fantasmic.

Think that'll work?

So how much more of this is true?

Haha. None. I had to hide the truth somehow

@marni1971 so what does this mean for Indiana Jones and the Launch Bay? They were the most assumed candidates for replacement due to age (Indy) and redundancy (Launch Bay). Also, are the VotLM and Beast replacements still happening?

I believe it was said a couple times that Launch Bay will remain open and then when SWL opens it'll close. Not sure on the other things though :/

My question is more of a "what's next?" for them. Circa 2019 I expect them to still be open, but my question is what they will become after Star Wars Land opens. Will Launch Bay be transformed into a new attraction, revert to back to Animation, or simply be shuttered?

That's a question for @marni1971 I know originally Phase 3 or 4 was slated for that space but things have changed since then, Phase 3 is just an e-ticket and generally park improvements and I don't think Phase 4 is a thing at all anymore.

My inside sources tell me that there are far reaching plans to close the Backlot area and replace it with two IP-driven lands, they were very tightlipped about which ones but hinted at one Marvel or LucasArts property, and one Pixar based.

Disney forum members be like.

I knew there was rodent infestation on GMR! I took this photo last week while waiting on line

Oh, the irony of local ops trying to keep the mice out of the GMR!

What can I say? Marni and I know these things well in advance. -_-

Hollywood studios needs to be updated. Originally the U2 was asked to do Ripping Rock Rollarcoaster. Then Aerosmith was asked.

Didn't know they asked U2. I thought the first band they tried was actually the Rolling Stones, but the licensing fee was too high.

I love Ripping Rock!

I'm more of a Rolling Rock guy myself.

Greatest first post of all time! =D

And for a little intrigue, the mods even edited something too. Some things are just so perfect.

Is the fact that it seems like most of the newer merchandise released for RnRC doesn't have Aerosmith's name splashed all over it infavor of Mickey Mouse a small hint at this?

What if It's the RNRC getting the Mickey retheme!?

As much as I love Beauty and the Beast, it's kind of sad to see the relic of a show still rambling on. Yet Frozen goes in California, and cruise ships get Tangled AND Frozen... Time for an update of the musical.

It is the show as old as time...

I completely agree - it's time to replace it and VofLM.

I would like to see a new show but the Theater of the Stars is not up to par with the Hyperion for a show of that caliber. Maybe after Star Wars land is complete they can afford to lose BatB for a new theater.
