I think we realistically need to decide a park by the end of today (June 6th) to have proper timing of everything.
Agreed. That should be the goal.

I choose to remain neutral, I see the potential in both options, and wouldn’t mind working on either, I can think of great ideas for both, so I’ll leave you the option to decide!
And while I do have a preference, I agree both have great potential

My choice would be MGM, but that's probably because I've always loved that stinking park with all its flaws up until my trip last summer. Will let you know how thst goes next Sat when I step in without gmr.

Either way, I'm good though. Sat/Sun are going to be iffy time wise so sooner we get moving, the better for me st least. Guess we only have a week anyway.

I'm throwing my vote in for Hollywood Studios for three reasons:

1) There are a lot of cooks in this kitchen. Everyone is going to have an option on what to do with California and this park could become very disjointed very quickly. The one time I had to do a park, I thought I had a pretty cohesive theme, but there was a lot of feedback that it seemed like I just shoved in lesser known IPs. With so many people doing one park, I think this could be a major concern.

2) We are under a time constraint. If we went with California, I fear a lot of our time will be spent weighing what we what this park to be, and then trying to get everyone on the same page. With Hollywood Studios,the theme and premise (although we can tweek it) is already there.

3) There is something for everyone already in Studios. There's the adventure section with Indiana Jones, the Sci-fi section with Star Wars, comedy section with Muppets, an animation section, the theatre, the music industry, TV, and even a "horror"-esque area with Tower of Terror. Everyone should be able to find something they enjoy. (Maybe we can divide the studio into movie genres?)

This is a very sound argument.. I would argee that getting all of those to agree to a theme and create 12 to 20 unique attractions and a unique maps that blends everything together is the project that requires the most work.. However gives the most creative freedown.

Hollywood Studios gives a foundation to work on.

Yeah, the major downside to my argument is the loss of creative freedom that doing the California Park would give. :confused: Unless we go with California and put all of our suggestions into a randomizer (if we can't agree) and just go with whatever pops up. :cautious: That could work, just to save time.

If we went to California Adventure I would have to say NOOO California. We have the foresight to know that the California theme did not work like planned.

The tally so far...

MGM - 3

California - 1

Many still remain neutral ;)
I'll concede on California. You said something about park layout that really struck a cord with me.
3) There is something for everyone already in Studios. There's the adventure section with Indiana Jones, the Sci-fi section with Star Wars, comedy section with Muppets, an animation section, the theatre, the music industry, TV, and even a "horror"-esque area with Tower of Terror.

Splitting the park into genres would be fantastic.

What if for MGM we expand the theme right off the back to bring a collection of Studios.

Animation Studio - Animation Courtyard

Live Action Films Studio - New York Street/Backlot

Television Studio - ABC/Disney Channel stuff. Sounds Dangerous, Commissary, and Doug Live theater.

Music Studio - area built around the new Rockin Rollercoaster. I would suggest this as a connection path between Sunset Blvd and animation courtyard fixing Sunset being a dead end.

Muppets Studio - tiny land around Muppet Vision

Lucasfilm Studio - Indiana Jones/Star Tours

Video Game Studio - A very small are dedicated to the new form of storytelling. Just maybe an exhibit or two now with plans to either expand it if video games take off or get rid of it if they don't. Maybe a Sonic M&G. I would suggest taking over where one man's dream and the small Narnia/Pirates experience was. One man's dream can go anywhere. And that Narnia space isn't really big enough for anything good. But if video games are a hit they can expand to Pixar place

Silent film Studio - Sunset Blvd


Lot of small lands each with only one or two things that expand the scope of the studios park setting it up for plenty of options going forward while not losing what it started with

So would we ditch the trams if we do this plan?

I was with you until the video games. Not sure how that ties in with the Hollywood theme? I kind of understand about the storytelling, but I'm still not sure it would fit. o_O
