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

[ToTBellHop]

Let us hope that we get a full phase 3 much less phase 4. You may not be able to discuss this, and this has probably been mentioned before, but how is phase 3 still looking as far as a go for the park?

Still happening. They are certainly moving forward with clearing acreage for 3 lands this year...of course, they could always leave the space they've cleared for grass to grow over it like they've done at DAK, but I think not this time around.

Thank God...all I needed to know. Fingers crossed Shanghai does decent and Paris makes a turnaround so these cuts don't dig into anything else.

I suspect they will need to make a decision on Phase 3 before they know how well Shanghai is doing. I doubt they will wait until Summer 2017 (give Shanghai a year) to make a decision.

Indy would be the elusive 4.0. As I understand/-stood it. The question was whether or not Indy "could" play into DHS's future plans. It could. But we will lose the stunt show, regardless.

You got it.

As long as Indy 5 makes bank I think phase 4 should be set. The key word here being "should." Many things that "should" have happened at WDW by now, haven't.

 

[Smiddimizer]

Indy sounds really exciting, but Phase Four....circa 2023? Do they also have plans for Epcot? because it will be a bleeding ulcer by then.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Phase 4 is slated to open by mid 2021, am I correct in saying that?

Phase 2. Sorry.

A reasonable timeframe. The original goal was for the whole park update to be done around then.

Phases 1-4 done by 2021?!

Interesting. Indy seems so outdated, but I guess the hope would be that a new movie/franchise could bring new life. If we got a ride like Disneyland's Indy, I'd be all for it.

I do like how Indy, Star Wars, ToT, RnRC would all bring a mature dynamic to the park while Toy Story can still appeal to younger kids (and young at heart). Disney would be smart to aim for a park teens can identify with and feel like is their "thrill" space. Not that teens can't enjoy MK and the other parks but by including more thrilling elements I think a rebranded DHS would do very well.

Yes. That's the goal.

I'd be all for a new Indy ride. However AK already has that Disneyland Indy ride in the form of Dinosaur. I would hope for something new.

That gives me a little hope anyways.

 

[marni1971]

Yes. That's the goal.

No. Phase four is still early to mid 2020s. And is not green by a long shot.

Only to have them dashed....

When could we see phase 3? 2020?

 

[marni1971]

I've no date. After SWL opens for sure. Early 2020s.

As it stands.

 

[Nick Wilde]

Absolutely not...however, there is a difference in "rides" and "attractions".

The Magic Kingdom has 44 attractions. DHS has 15, 2 of which are closing. The difference in price between these two parks is about $15. I think a Star Wars land is justifiable.

 

[Haymarket2008]

I've no date. After SWL opens for sure. Early 2020s.

As it stands.

So if SWL is slated for 2019, Phase 3 and 4 would be opening within a year of each other?
