Davelandblog: Hollywoodland: What Happened?

HOLLYWOODLAND
Opened: 1999


Period: 1930s-1940s

"
Hollywood was never was before, but the movies will came to life to the magic each superstars can squeezing into the movie screens to be part of the scenes. Hooray for Hollywood!"

Before Hollywoodland was planned:
Disney-MGM Studios opened in 1989, and the park was become most popular ever, the park was a working studio park which the movies and TV shows are made at Disney-MGM Studios, the attractions was popular such as The Great Movie Ride and Superstar Television, later in early 1990s, the park adding more attractions based on movies and TV shows, in early 1990s during Disney Decade era, Michael Eisner has plans to build Hollywoodland at Disneyland with clone attractions from Disney-MGM Studios as adding new attractions to the land. But it got cancelled due to Euro Disneyland's failed finically in 1992. But What If Hollywoodland was really opened at Disneyland in 1999? Come with me guys, and we'll take a tour around Hollywoodland at Disneyland.

Back in 1930s-1940s, Golden Age Hollywood growing alots of the cinematic magic which the movies are making of magic in Hollywoodland, people loves go to the movies, so what it the people will have their own magic movie ticket to go through the movie screen to be part of the movies. How you like to visit Maroon Studios to be part of auditions to replace Baby Herman's stunts in a new Roger Rabbit short, Tummy Trouble? Or chasing after the criminals in 1930s Chicago, or you'll be television star in the television shows like I Love Lucy and The Three Strooges, as be part of the movies?

THE GREAT MOVIE RIDE:
Hollywood Beacons in the Night - The New York Times

This version was different one, instead The Chinese Theater, the ride building will be themed to Alex Theatre in Glendale, California.
The preshow was changed, the movie theater was small, as it shows same as trailers in The Great Movie Ride's preshow, as the guests aheading to the movie screen notices that it's just the soundstage:
Extinct Disney » The Great Movie Ride

As you entering the movie theatre as the sign said "NOW PLAYING: A SPECTACULAR JOURNEY INTO THE MOVIES" A CAST OF THOUSANDS! A SWEEPING SPECTACLE OF THRILLS! CHILLS! ROMANCE!" as you will enter the lobby as we are in taking place in a 19th century town, it would have featured animatronics of Harold Lloyd reenacting his famous scene from Safety Last, Buster Keaton narrowly avoiding a house about to fall down on him, W.C. Fields, Mae West, the Keystone Kops and Charlie Chaplin's "Little Tramp" persona.
Next is Footlight Parade as we'll see the girls are dancing into the cake as the bubble effect cames around the guests.

Then we are in the middle of the rainstorm in the streets as we'll see Gene Kelly singing his solo song while holding his umbrella as hanging the streetlight in Singin' in the Rain.

Next we are in the tops of the buildings in the city of London as we are in Mary Poppins as we joined Julie Andrews and Dick Van singing Chim Chim Cher-ee into the rooftops.
The next scene was a tribute to gangster films. The ride vehicle passed through the dark and seedy backstreets of 1930's Chicago and past an audio-animatronic James Cagney in a scene from The Public Enemy. When the Bandit show was running, the lead ride vehicle continued on to the next scene while the second car was stopped by a red light above a tunnel entrance. The tour guide stopped the ride vehicle and waited for a green light, not wanting to "break the law, even if it is just a movie." While stopped, a live gangster named Mugsy (male) or Mugsi (female) and their audio-animatronic sidekicks Squid and Beans showed up and got involved in a shoot-out with rival mobsters (Brains, Legs, and Weasel) in a car on the opposite side of the street where the ride vehicle was stopped, resulting in Beans getting badly wounded. Although Squid and Beans were left behind to "give [the gangster's] regards to the warden," the live gangster chased away the tour guide and hijacked the ride vehicle. When the gangster noticed the red light, they shot it out and made their getaway aboard the ride vehicle.
Yesterland: The Great Movie Ride

Next was a tribute to the Western genre. Here, guests encountered audio-animatronics of Clint Eastwood standing near a saloon and John Wayne sitting atop his horse. If the ride vehicle was already being driven by the gangster, it continued past a shoot-out between the town sheriff and an audio-animatronic bank robber named Snake. On this version of the show, the ride vehicle stopped here while the robbery was in progress and a live bank robber named Kate Durango (female) or Kid Carson (male) appeared from inside the bank. After getting into a shoot-out with the town sheriff and chasing the tour guide away, the bandit blew up the town bank with dynamite and hijacked the ride vehicle. Following this scene, the remainder of the attraction was the same for both sets of ride vehicles.

As the ride vehicle continued into a spaceship, a narrator's voice stated that this was the Nostromo, the ship from the film Alien. The narrator then told guests of the alien lurking within the ship waiting to claim its next victim. Guests could also hear the Nostromo’s mother computer warning of the imminent self-destruction countdown. Hearing this, the hijacker became nervous and sped the ride vehicle through the ship. But not before the Alien appeared and attacked the guests, popping out from both the ceiling and the wall. Before exiting the spaceship, the ride vehicle passed a scene of an audio-animatronic Ellen Ripley (Sigourney Weaver) holding a flamethrower as she prepared to confront the Alien. Behind her was a steady drip of slime. This could only be seen if the rider payed close attention to that part of the scene.

As we're escaping from aliens, we are in the science lab where Gene Wilde playing as Dr. Fronkensteen creates the monster in Young Frankenstein.

Then we are in New York City, as we are in the top of the building which has a haunted temple who guards by Gozer, until Stay Puft attacks the guests until Ghostbusters show up to stop him in Ghostbusters (1984) with Ghostbusters theme song plays.

The ride vehicle next entered a scene set in an ancient Egyptian temple filled with snakes. The narrator informed guests that they were in a scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark as audio-animatronic figures of Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) and Sallah (John Rhys-Davies) struggled to lift the Ark of the Covenant. A second room within the temple (though not from the film) featured a large altar in the form of the ancient Egyptian god Anubis. Near the top of the altar, a large jewel was being watched over by a cloaked temple guard. The hijacker saw it, stopped the ride vehicle, and disembarked to retrieve it. Before touching it, the temple guard gave a warning that those who disturbed it must pay with their life. Ignoring the warning, the hijacker reached to grab it. Suddenly, a plume of smoke shot from the ground. When it dispersed, the hijacker was now nothing more than a skeleton (still reaching for the jewel) and the temple guard was revealed to be the original tour guide who reboarded the vehicle and continued the ride.

The next film genre introduced was the horror film as the ride vehicle traveled through an ancient burial chamber full of mummies who had come to life. As we are in the Death Star where Darth Vader (James Earl Jones) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) fighting each other in Return of the Jedi.

The ride vehicle soon left the tomb and entered a jungle, which was home to Tarzan the Ape Man. Here, audio-animatronic figures of Tarzan swinging on a vine, Jane sitting on top of an elephant, and Cheeta the chimpanzee could be seen. The ride vehicle then moved past the classic final scene from Casablanca featuring audio-animatronics of Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman as they stood in front of a waiting airplane. Some incorrectly claimed that this plane, a Lockheed Model 12 Electra Junior, was the actual one from the film, but it wasn't as no full-size one was actually used in it. The one on the attraction was allegedly used in Tarzan's New York Adventure and other films in the 1940s before being purchased by Disney. Some people have gone far enough to deduce that this plane was used for some of Casablanca's insert shots. The back half was cut off and could be found resting along the shoreline of the Jungle Cruise attraction at the Magic Kingdom.[3] Next, the ride vehicle passed a film projection of Mickey Mouse in his role as The Sorcerer's Apprentice from the classic Disney animated film Fantasia.

As we are in Who Framed Roger Rabbit where we meet Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant waving to us, as we are enter downtown Toontown, as the Toons are making each other for dropping pianos, getting blow up by TNTs, etc, then we are in the hotel as the bandit or gangster gets squashed by the elevator as we encounter Droopy Dog saying "Going up, sir?" as we'll see the tour guide returns to tour the movies, as we are leaving Toontown transition to the swamp where we are in The Muppet Movie, where we meet Kermit the Frog playing Rainbow Connection song in the swamp log, while we will see Dom DeLuise in his boat where he's aheading to find Kermit for the newspaper for the frog audition at the studio in Hollywood, then the river takes us to the ocean where we'll see the icebergs,
as Titanic ship is sinking in Titanic where we'll see Rose and Jack (Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio) are in trying to swimming into the cold water as the Titanic sinking into the ocean, then the tidal wave cames as plow us into the darkness clouds.

8 Totally Cool Things About The Great Movie Ride At Walt Disney World •  DisneyTips.com

American Rhetoric: Movie Speech: The Wizard of Oz - The Wizard's Offer

As we are in the Tornado scene where we'll see Dorothy's house flying into the vortex, such as animals and farmers until we'll see Wicked Witch of the West's evil laughing at us, The ride vehicle then entered into the Munchkinland scene from The Wizard of Oz, where Dorothy's house had landed on top of the Wicked Witch of the East. During peak season, both sets of ride vehicles met up here and came to a stop in the middle of the scene. Audio-animatronic Munchkins began to appear from various places and sang as they welcomed the riders to their home. However, a plume of smoke suddenly rose from the ground as an audio-animatronic Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) appeared and asked who was responsible for killing her sister. The tour guide aboard the first set of ride vehicles answered her before she finally disappeared in another puff of smoke. The Munchkins finally reappeared from their hiding places and began to sing again as both sets of ride vehicles followed the Yellow Brick Road out of Munchkinland past audio-animatronic figures of Dorothy, the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and Toto standing in front of the Emerald City, and onto the ride's grand finale. Where the screen is now was where the Wizard would have appeared surrounded by flames. He would say his famous line, "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain" and the show would be "interrupted" as the curtains to the left or right of the screen would open to reveal either your live bandit (on the A vehicle side) or gangster (on the B vehicle side). Along the outer walls (to the left of the A vehicle or to the right of the B vehicle), is currently large empty carpeted areas. Here was supposed to be large platforms where models of all of the audio-animatronic characters seen earlier in the ride would be standing and take a bow. They would've included familiar faces like Gene Kelly, Mary Poppins, C-3PO & R2-D2, the Ghostbusters, John Wayne, Roger Rabbit and Eddie Valiant, Kermit the Frog, Indiana Jones, Mickey Mouse and Dorothy's gang, but would've also included characters that weren't prominently in the ride like Shirley Temple, Rhea and Scarlett, Sally from Cabaret, George C. Scott as Patton, and Rocky Balboa.

Maybe you should do your own Hollywoodland idea for Disneyland during Eisner's planned for Disney Decade in 1990s.
1. No, because I prefer realism, the "what could happen in the future", unlike these fanfics of what could have happened in the past.
2. I don't like Hollywoodland in Disneyland.
3. What I said earlier has no correlation to your reply.

Everyone has their own opinions, but I like both the "What Ifs" and "future based" ones.

The "What If" ones actually take a lot of creativity. You can't just say "I want to put a Cars Land in Hollywood Studios". You have to work with the parameters you are giving like "The Mid 90's.

SUPERSTAR TELEVISION

A 'Hollywood' Classic: SuperStar Television | Disney Parks Blog

Superstar Television opened in part of Hollywoodland's opening day, where the guests will be guest stars on 20 different television shows such as I Love Lucy, The Mickey Mouse Club, Dinosaurs, General Hospital, Cheers, Gilligan's Island, Bonanza, The Wonderful World of Color, Home Improvement, Muppets Tonight, The Tonight Show, The Three Strooges, Full House, and more.


The video above is a feed from one of the eight 100-inch monitors in the theaters that helped translate the filmed action in front of the guests into a “television show.” So guests watching in the audience had the choice to watch the physical taping or these screens, making for a unique experience that we haven’t really seen since. In many cases where guests could learn about the filmmaking process, a packaged video was put together at the end.

DICK TRACY'S CRIMESTOPPERS
dicktracy1-1024x685.jpg

Dick Tracy's Crime-Stoppers was an attraction based on Warren Beatty's 1990 film Dick Tracy.
The film was expected to be a huge success by Disney Company management - the start of a new franchise - and Imagineering was tasked with bringing the detective to the park. The Dick Tracy's Crime-Stoppers press release revealed: "Guests will literally get 'into the act' in this new high-tech action-adventure featuring the very latest in Audio-Animatronics, simulation, sound and special effects," continuing "guests will join America's favorite comic-strip detective in a high-speed chase with his gangster adversaries."

Dick Tracy's Crime-Stoppers would have utilized the same Enhanced Motion Vehicle technology that is now used in the Indiana Jones Adventure and Dinosaur, this time situating itself in a huge industrial warehouse - part of a 1920's Chicago mini-area to be built around the attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios or built as part of a proposed Hollywoodland at Disneyland.

Boarding high class 1920's cars, guests would have raced through the streets of Chicago, through buildings, over bridges and past the Chicago docks, chased by villainous gangsters. Each guest would have also had a Tommy gun that would have, through technology similar to Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin, allowed them to interact with the noir world around them, shooting back at the gangsters and bullseyeing the tops off garbage cans.

There is another park, right across from Disneyland, which already holds a Hollywoodland.

Disney's California Adventure.

And ya know what's interesting?

I have my own thread of my ideal DCA. I'm not gonna spend the time to drag and drop all those details into Disneyland. I don't know a guest who wants to go to one park, get a not-stunning but not-bad land, then go into the other park and get the same thing.

In my different timeline, DCA did not exist, WESTCOT opened in 2000 instead.
