So since TSL has opened has anyone seen any tributes to the former backlot or Earfile Tower within the area?
Yeah! Just recently I’ve started to appreciate Backlot Express. In theory, it’s kind of a disgusting environment for a restaurant. But it’s art directed in a way that makes it feel quaint and personable. (I wish I had photo reference at the ready. Maybe later.) Mama Melrose’s feels right out of a Godfather movie, not just because it’s stereotypical Italian-American, but in how it’s framed and lit. A bigger example is Sunset Boulevard. Compared to something like Buena Vista Street, even though it’s more set-like in scale, it’s evident how the little details add up to something that just feels right even though it’s not ultra-realistic.I miss this style of map. It looks a lot more charming, even if a bit less accurate.
Any other examples? Genuinely curious!
Between #14 and #15 you can see the attraction sign for The magic of Disney animation...which looks like this...Just curious... I see Launch Bay listed #15, but I don't see where Animation is listed. Also, the balloon has been an icon of the Muppets for ages. Since SWL, at this point exists only in bits and pieces I don't see any reason why it isn't OK to have it there for now. Or they might have just forgotten or didn't think it was a big deal. Which, btw, in my opinion, it isn't!

I didn't know they still made these style maps for the parks, but apparently they do:

Still wish they had the free park maps you can customize and then get mailed to you from a few years ago...Shame they discontinued this...For those asking, this is from the Four Parks of Fun brochure, I believe.
I like the old style better than the style they use now on the regular maps. Although the new style does work better online where you can scroll around and stuff.
Monte Cristo was removed from the Woody's Lunchbox menu...
It was apparently gross. The fact that they aren't replacing it with another option kinda sucks, though. I'm sure a burger will be added soon...Monte Cristo was removed from the Woody's Lunchbox menu...

I cant see how they messed this up, the one in California is wildly popular and so yummy from what I understand!!! I hope they just re-work it to the popular recipe and try it again!! MarieMonte Cristo was removed from the Woody's Lunchbox menu...

Deep fried makes a huge difference. That said, I would still have liked to tried it.I cant see how they messed this up, the one in California is wildly popular and so yummy from what I understand!!! I hope they just re-work it to the popular recipe and try it again!! Marie
Sorry I just found this thread and haven't read through any of it, so I'm not entirely sure this is the place to ask this but...
If anyone has rope dropped HS in the past couple of days, are they still opening it early? Like before 7? Trying to figure out when I need to get there

It was pretty good to me with the exception of what tasted like a horseradish spread. That went against the entire “sweet protein” premise of a Monte Christo.It was apparently gross. The fact that they aren't replacing it with another option kinda sucks, though. I'm sure a burger will be added soon...
It will be replaced by something soon but was basically told that the monte cristo in the current form will not be back.It was apparently gross. The fact that they aren't replacing it with another option kinda sucks, though. I'm sure a burger will be added soon...
Good job eliminating the text of the two new attractions in your picture.I didn't know they still made these style maps for the parks, but apparently they do:

Perhaps if they brought over the Cafe Orleans Monte Cristo they wouldn’t have this problem. Instead they got a grilled ham and cheese.Monte Cristo was removed from the Woody's Lunchbox menu...
