News Voyage of the Little Mermaid Refurb

[SpectreJordan]

Do you think most visitors even get that it is supposed to be the LaBrea Tar Pits?
All of that Hollywood placemaking seems lost these days... and sadly because the buildings are all based on real places...
They should really reinvigorate the "Hollywood 1940s" aspect of the park and lean into it...instead of just leave it as a forgotten footnote.
The front half of the park is really beautiful...Now that they added Star Wars and Toy Story, it would be nice to see them work on the rest of the park...reopen shuttered spaces, make it fresh and "Hollywood" again...

I don't think the current regime would do it because it's not a theme that's "in" but I'd love for them to revamp the front of the park & fully embrace the old school Hollywood theme or just that era of America in general.

Replace BATB with Snow White to fit the era, revive/update the Dick Tracy & Roger Rabbit plans, turn Rock 'n Rollercoaster into the Rocketeer, add a dark ride based on a classic Mickey/Donald/Goofy short, somehow get the Captain America rights from Universal & do a '40s Cap ride, etc...

The Rocketeer...What a stylish film. I loved it... So much fun.

Maybe Rogers: the Musical can find it's way to Hollywood Studios, or is Captain America off limits for Florida parks?

Captain America and most characters anyone has any interest in are off limits.

I'd be down for a big hero 6 stunt show though.

Hey hey. Put in the gossip/bus driver level but I’d love to see something done in this space.

Besides that their 12 miles down the road if you need to see them..

Based on another rumor, the crews touring it are the mold abatement team.

It's not like Disney doesn't have enough IP they can freely use if they want to...
Leave the Superheroes to Universal and do something more "Disney"...
Did anyone see the huge Superhero presence they are building into Epic Universe? Yeah me either, but they have enough IP to fill a theme park without it... as does Disney for DHS.
A good attraction can make an old IP relevant... not that I think CondorMan or The Apple Dumpling Gang could be revived, but you know... they could really do something amazing with things that are completely Disney owned and developed instead of purchased IP.

Imagine a Treasure Planet attraction where you ride on Solar Surfers? Talk about an IP that could easily be revamped...and the way to do that is to do a live-action that justifies being a live-action film.

I think you are right... They can take anything from their GIGANTIC portfolio of films and IP and make them relevant...create the demand... I would much rather see a live action Treasure Planet or even a live action Atlantis over a re-hashed live action remake of one of Disney's classic Fairytale stories ( Snow White for the latest example)
Can you imagine a live action Dark Cauldron? and then an appropriately scary attraction for DHS?.
I have Super Hero fatigue...

Hoping they put in something new, bc, we can't be continuing to live in a world where this, the Indy stunt spectacular, and BATB live all still exist at this park, especially since we're in a completely different era of this park

So, I'm taking that comment as a confirmation that something is coming.

 

[mattpeto]

The eyes emoji would have been more helpful haha. Santa is throwing me for a loop.

Maybe they are putting "What's This?" permanently in this space?

 

[BasiltheBatLord]

Announcement on Dec. 25?

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Merry Fishmas?

 

[Gringrinngghost]

I guess I’ll spill the beans… Disney is going to put a new show in there. A permanent version of “For the first time in forever, Frozen Sing-a-long” the twist is, it’s a year round Christmas version.


Or Candlelight is finally moving to a bigger house.
