I'm just in shock that the show has changed so little over the years. Even if Crystal Skulls sucked, which it did, I'm shocked they did nothing to change the show a little bit to reflect the new film. Has any scene changed or been added over the years? The problem with so many of the shows is that they are so stale. You can't have the same show for 20+ years and expect fans to still love it like they used to. I mean, change a scene or two and advertise it as new. People would flock to check it out.

There should be only ONE name in any Disney park - and that is Walt's name, whether his first or his last. No Lucasland. Nuh-uh. Forget it! Nobody else should get his name blazoned on a land in WALT DISNEY WORLD. NOBODY.

Considering Walt Disney never had anything to do with Hollywood Studios, I can't see any reason to exclude anyone else from having their name in the park. The majority of franchises featured have nothing to do with him either.

George Lucas on the other hand has quite a bit to do with the park. Ever heard of that little known animation company called Pixar? They used to be part of his company. They were the computer division in the Graphics department. He also created a couple other properties. You may have heard of them. One of them is Star Wars and the other is Indiana Jones. Both are featured in the parks and one of them is set to become the dominant property featured in the park. Suggesting nobody else should have their name in the park is ridiculous. That's like saying because George Washington was the first US President there can be no other President. Would you remove the other Presidents from Mt. Rushmore? I'm sorry but you have no argument. Sure Walt Disney made some great films but he is not the only person responsible for Disney World. His Disney World is not the Disney World today. While his contributions should be recognized, it is insulting not to recognize the contributions of others.

I cannot see Indy closing in the immediate future. The rumored Pixar expansion will come first, including closing LMA. If they had all of the rumored closings down at once, we're literally talking about a park reduced to like a dozen attractions total.

Yeah, I may have heard of them. Thanks for the condescension. :p

So have some back: If it weren't for WALT, there would be no Walt Disney World. And if there weren't a Walt Disney World, there would be no Star Wars attractions built there. Lucas would either have to sell his old stuff to Universal, or Six Flags maybe, whatever. Or hey! Maybe he could build his OWN damn park and put his name on it. If Star Wars is so incredibly popular and self-sustaining, it could SURELY support its own park. Right?

Ha ha.

As for Pixar, Lucas didn't have the scratch to develop it into an animation entity. Who did that - why DISNEY!!!! How 'bout that?

There was a reason Lucas turned to Disney. He knew that HE needed DISNEY'S support, or the support of some larger entity to keep Lucasfilm alive. But for its part, WDW could continue to function just fine without off-studio discards. Hell, there's stuff still in the Disney vault that isn't represented in the parks, that could be developed into incredible attractions, if Robert Iger weren't a fathead who has no faith in the continued relevancy and popularity of Disney-generated product, even though "Lion King" and "Frozen" alone have proven him wrong.

So yeah. No Lucasland for you. Won't happen anyway, thank goodness.

Ummmm....not to keep this going but Star Wars is popular enough to have it's own theme park! In fact I'm pretty sure there were plans at one point!

And you do know that Walt himself had nothing to do with Pixar right?! Just because it's done by Disney does not mean it was Walt who created it. Don't get me wrong of it wasn't for him the company wouldn't be where it is today, but still credit to Other people is necessary!

The only part that screams Aerosmith is the pre-show and that could be changed to be more generic and vague. Just a thought

I always assumed that the ride would be able to be rotated hence the name: Rockin' Rollercoaster FEATURING Aerosmith.

I could easily see any band plugged into the ride portion (getting to a show in Hollywood) and just change the video that plays at the start of the queue.

This is not quite accurate. Aerosmith is packing arenas nationwide on their Let Rock Rule tour...and they are rocking it out. I saw it. :-D

Bon Jovi's been packing arenas the same way, even when Richie Sambora decided to leave the tour last year. Doesn't mean they should take over the ride.

Don't they have a roller coaster ride at (....Universal...shhhh) where you get to pick who you listen to as you ride? Or did I make that up? Would be cool if you could choose your own soundtrack.

Oh for sure they could. It would require a nit of modifying of the ride vehicle though in order to select the song. But as I have said in other posts, i'd prefer they go for a highly themed coaster with a score, making it much more similar to DLP's SM.
