Need ideas/suggestions for my Disney Studios park layout.

[KentB3]

As many of you already know, my proposed Disney theme park resort will have two theme parks, The Magic Kingdom and Disney Studios. So far, I have drawn each of the "lands" in my MK park, plus the castle. As for Disney Studios, I'm still working on the layout. Unlike the MK (which is basically the same as the other MK/Disneyland parks), Disney Studios will be quite different from Disney-MGM in Orlando or Walt Disney Studios in Paris.

So far, the studios will be on the left side of the main entrance instead of the right like Disney-MGM, and arranged similarly to the studios at Universal Studios Orlando-- straight instead of diagonally like Disney-MGM, to make the park easier to navigate). Two of the studios will be together in a single building in the front, and will be designed specifically for television production. These will be called ABC/Disney Channel Studios. Four additional soundstages will be there as well, all in separate buildings and designed primarily for film/motion picture production. This area will also include the backlot, Residential Street, and Catastrophe Canyon; as well as attractions such as the Hyperion Theare (hosting a multi-character show similar to Disney Dreams from the Disney Cruise Line) and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Play It!, possibly a few more as well.

The main entrance would lead guests down Hollywood Boulevard, which will be similar to Hollywood Boulevard at Disney-MGM, lined with a series of shops and restaurants. At the end of Hollywood Boulevard will be the central hub, with The Great Movie Ride behind the hub as the park's centerpiece. The GMR will be deisgned like Grauman's Chinese Theatre as Disney-MGM's ride. However, the ride's show building will be set horizontal with the main entrance in the center, instead of vertical and diagonal to the left like Disney-MGM's-- also to help with the park's navigation!

I really haven't thought of anything else yet, so if anyone has questions, comments, and/or suggestions, please feel free to post theme here! I really do look forward to hearing from you!

That wasn't what I meant. I was referring to the physical land layout of the park (like what you'd see on the map), not the rides and attractions. I already came up with my list of rides and attractions for Disney Studios upon opening day. Also, I did not include R&R'coaster, since one of my goals for Disney Studios was to have largely different rides and attractions from Disney-MGM in Orlando, but this may be added eventually; depending on profits, attendance, and demand for such rides over the years!

It would make sense for Sunset BLVD to head to where the sun actually sets. If you do have that.

Also, it might be good to make sure it isn't that far of a walk to get around, as in a plaza that acts as a hub. And there shouldn't be many dead ends, those aren't good.

What if, once you got to the end of Hollywood Boulevard, the main walkways created a classic three-ring Mickey outline? You could have secondary walkways bisect the circles for better traffic flow.
