How about Disneys Galactic Studios or Disneys Galactic Adventure. I am thinking they have Star Wars and all the Marvel Characters . Build the Galaxy and throw in the Villains.

I must be the only person that saw the new Disney Planes to the Rescue ... most of the visuals reminded me of a new direction for a Carsland in the backlot with the explosions and flooding. And the Grand Lodge Opening Day was a combo of the WL and the Grand Californian Resorts in a movie... Is there room for a DVC Villa backlot?

Why not throw in Harry Potter too?

I still say go as generic as possible. Like Islands of Adventure.

Maybe just Disney's Entertainment Park

Then nobody can debate whether Aerosmith fits in or the Muppets or Star Wars or Pixar stuff. It's all entertainment. And Hollywood is the capital of entertainment so it fits too. Problem solved.

How about a totally new theme and name....

DISNEY'S BOLLYWOOD STUDIOS

Wait.... this is getting ridiculous.
I am excited to see what the updated theme and new name will be, but we're just spit balling so much now that its all getting crazy.

I might get some hate for this, but I LOVE DHS. The combination of Star Tours, Tower of Terror, TSMM, Rock & Rollercoaster, Muppets, and the feeling of Sunset Blvd makes it my favorite park.

Does it need improvements? Sure. The Great Movie Ride is very dated. The Backlot Tour is boring. And yes, some of the rides don't fit in with the theme. I have no problem with DHS being the landing spot for any attraction that doesn't really fit the theme of the other parks. When I'm upside down on Rock & Rollercoaster I really don't care that the ride doesn't fit the theme of 1930's Hollywood.

I honestly do believe there will eventually be a Star Wars "land" at one of the parks & DHS is the place to put it. Disney spent way too much money not to incorporate Star Wars more into the parks. I'd love to see the Carsland ride in Orlando, but I also don't want Orlando to be a carbon copy of Anaheim.

I believe that Disney will make improvements changes to DHS. If they don't people will stop coming to the park, or not spend as much time in the park, and that means over crowding at the other parks. They also know that Harry Potter as at a competing park up the road, and they need to have an answer for that.

I like the idea of this park (whatever it may be called) as a place to celebrate everything that Disney has brought under it's umbrella over the years...Pixar, Muppets, Star Wars, etc.

I would love to see Star Wars Land, a Cars ride (entire land isn't needed in my opinion), Monsters Inc. Doors type coaster & maybe something from Up (Soarin' type simulator). So basically you can keep your thrills area (RRC & HTOT) & awesome themed Star Wars Land with 3-4 attractions, a Pixar area that you can actually spend time with smaller kids & then you still have your GMR, Muppets 3D along with some spruced up shows and you are good to go. Is this feasible...maybe not but it sounds like a really full day that people would flock towards.

No hate here. I agree with most of what you are saying. I wouldn't say I love the park now, but it has a core base of 5 or 6 rides/attractions (counting Fantasmic) that can make the building blocks of a great park. The problem with the park now is the whole active studio concept which has been neutered. Back in the day the backlot tour and surrounding area took several hours to maybe even half a day to really experience. It's down to less than an hour now. They need to replace that stuff with rides and attractions. The park needs a major increase in ride capacity.

I'm with you on making the park a mishmash of different things. I don't hear anyone complaining that IOA has Spider Man, Jurassic Park and Harry Potter all mixed together in one park. People are too busy enjoying the rides to complain:). Universal doesn't pretend that IOA has some half baked backstory or theme. Whatever they call DHS it should follow the same gameplan.

I think the real point that is being brought to light by all of this name-changing nonsense is that the Company today is incapable of having a real 'direction' of any sorts.
If they cannot even keep a Park name relevant, something is seriously wrong somewhere on the inside.
