The Park Formerly Known as Disney's Hollywood Studios? Yep ...

[WDW1974]

Yes, it sure looks this way.

I mentioned this as a possibility over a year ago when talk of Star Wars getting an expanded presence and a Cars Land were being pushed for TPFKaTD-MGMS.

Well, now it appears almost a certainty that the park will be fully rebranded and renamed, yet again, within the not too distant future.

I'm hesitant to place this out because these things tend to have lives of their own and go off in many directions. And I haven't had it confirmed.

But I have had a few different folks in vastly different lines of the business tell me that the whole BS DHS moniker will be thrown away when the park changes its focus (let's face it, my Spirited bedroom sees more 'studio' type work than Disney's fourth gate).

So ... say buh-bye to the DHS name. And the entire focus of the park, which right now is more out of focus than the misshapen Roger Rabbit in the window over Hollywood and Vine.

They could just go with TWDC Holdings Park and cover all the bases.

P.S. Third gate, not fourth. It's late, I know

Third names the charm..hopefully.

I thought I recognized you in that video.... Nice bedroom.

That was intentional due to its attendance issues. It is No. 4 even if it was the third to open!

Thanks!

I've had complaints that it's too dark.

Is Carsland still on the table to be built or is it now Star Wars only now?

 

[Mike S]

This could be interesting depending on what the new name is. All I'm thinking is why change it again? Just weird, to me at least.

From what I understand carsland isn't coming. At least that's what most of our insiders are saying.

 

[roj2323]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I guess it really depends on the name.

My personal preference is to just keep the name as is.

Disney's Hollywood Adventure anyone??
I can honestly say I saw this coming awhile ago. I just don't understand why the word Studios was left in the title when they changed the park's name the first time around, if that's the reason for the latest name change.

Disney Hollywood Adventure, I would think.

 

[JustInTime]

I like Hollywood adventure better than both of the former names.

Personally I don't see a problem with the "Studios" name. The only Universal park that's actually a working studio is the one in Hollywood yet all the other parks still have the "Studios" name. Maybe I'm comparing Apples to Oranges here but that's just how I see it. Then again I also couldn't care less about the name if we still get great new rides. Here's hoping Star Wars delivers.

With this new information...

A - what on earth would they end up calling it?

B - does that mean a lot more changes and additions besides just Star Wars???

They will rebrand the parking lot and call it Busland.

If they are honest with the name, the logical choice would be

Disney's Upcharge Fantasy Franchiseland (DUFF)

 

[robrab14]

Buena Vista Studios would be a cool name.
