Status/future of the Hyperion

I'd easily take a Hollywoodland Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with the Doors

According to this, Dave from FBD said he has heard from one of this sources that DLR's new leadership plans on putting some form of new entertainment back in the Hyperion:

I hope so - it’s a sin this theater sits empty!

I just wish Disney could bring in something or better yet tear it down for a dark ride.
I’m not really big on live entertainment at the parks.

Are you saying you don’t like that there is live entertainment in the parks? Or it’s just something you don’t particularly enjoy.

They are building 4 new rides at DCA aren’t they?

I was under the impression that DLR seemed at one point to be moving away from theater shows long term because they get stale with the APs coupled with recent union disputes.

I wonder if this is more of a temporary thing to account for lost capacity from the backlot closing for Avatar. Then once thats complete then the Hyperion goes for a 5th Avengers Campus attraction. By then they would have a decent grip on the post Secret Wars slate and should know what heroes get another ride.

Hyperion Shows have always played to capacity crowds when I’ve been there. I don’t think popularity is the problem.

I’m just saying theater shows hasn’t been intresting. Especially around the resort. I watched Aladdin years back. I did once or twice and never looked back. Maybe it just a small theatre that lacks depth. I rather watch Fantastic.

It was more with the union disputes.

I have a big impression Disney doesn’t want to pay $$$$$ for the hourly wages for live entertainers.

I thought Hyperion shows were always equity? Certainly seemed equity quality but I’m not as familiar with the California parks.

That’s an opinion though - I loved all the Hyperion shows and also really enjoyed tales of the lion king.
