New Center Stage at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[wdrive]

Disneyland Paris seems to have the right idea with their castle stage. It's off to the side of the castle so still has a great backdrop and doesn't interfere with any sight lines from Main Street and the hub.

Have you ever seen the crowd row castle show gets? That's why the one in MK is needed.

The stage is needed because of that show.
What isn't needed is that show, in that spot.

Are you being facetious?

Did you forget about the 6 daily shows at MK?
Did you forget about SWW and Frozen Summer? Thats almost half of the year right there that a giant temporary stage was constructed anyway. We also don't know what the plans are for HS in the future.

Now if you want to complain about a stage- let's complain about epcot. Do we need a permanent structure there for one month a year?
MK and HS at least use the heck out of theirs and have massive crowds

I am certainly not being facetious.
There is a place for shows, I guess...but in front of important structures? That's not the place.

It's all about placement.

What interferes with sight lines?

The crowds that gather, the actors on the stage...
Not to mention the audio and pyro intrusions.

Shows belong in theaters.

I like the outdoor shows now and then, although I agree with you about ruining views and vistas, and creating crowds where they cause problems. I actually think the outdoor stage in Tomorrowland is the right way to do this kind of thing. It's visible but not in the way of anything, and can create some energy in the area. Now if they would just run a decent show there, we might have something!

there will be a stage,but it will be 'different'.. what I meant by 'think of it like "The Hub"' is that Center Stage will be the reference point of the center of the park..

It will be positioned slightly off. The front stage view will be sponsored by FOXNEWS as the "Just Right of Center Stage" and the opposite side will be sponsored by MSNBC as the "Just left of Center Stage". Sorry, MSNBC, but you will have to live with the backside. . .

Wow, double theatre blockage.

You can get a product for that at your local drug store, but I highly recommend you stay close to home and near your bathroom when you take it. . .

I like watching the show in front of the castle. As do most guests I'd assume.

I don't, and I wouldn't make assumptions.

I'll advocate a theater in the back corner of the circus, replacing the tent there. That'd be a fine, and unobtrusive, spot for such shows.

I'm claiming Photoshop shenanigans. As far as so many have posted all over these forums, the olde timey hub has 8 billion trees and I only see 2 in this picture.

It was October 1971. They were still saplings.
