The building of Disney MGM Studios

[mergatroid]

It's probably been posted before so apologies in advance if so. Anyhow I thought some may like to reminisce by watching this video about the building of Disney MGM Studios 'back in the day'. Some great shots of how the park used to look (it's quite remarkable how you don't remember certain things that have evolved). Some great shots of the Chinese Theatre before the hat and the inside of The Great Movie Ride as they built it. All the original old favourites are there along with some rather questionable fashion choices and hairstyles by the people who built it.

Anyway for those interested, please enjoy

Back when ideas were original and had more substance than pushing the likeness of a popular movie.

Is the theater facade smalle now is the hat just that damn big? I dont remember the facade being that big when my wife and I were there in 2000 for our honeymoon. By our next trip the hat was up.
