DHS What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

[SCOTLORR]

Only if the ride is about space/aliens and less about Hawaii.

I’d argue that the ride should take place in Hawaii, given that a water ride is the main thing DHS needs. Of course other aliens can be present as well but the Hawaii location would be a great change of pace compared to the concrete jungle in the rest of the park.

Water ride at a movie studio?

Why not?

Not a movie studio anymore. The best way to generally describe the current theme of the park is that it’s a place where you enter and are immersed inside the world of specific movies/shows. Galaxy’s Edge, TSL, soon to be Monster’s Inc, ToT, and even Muppets RnRc.

Given that this is the new direction of the park, I think it’d be foolish of them to not utilize an IP with a tropical environment, so that they can at least remedy the glaring issue of zero water rides in this park.

Why not?

Unless this is a backlot style ride with water effects where we float through the movie set.

Unpopular opinion (I should add this to that thread), but to me Hollywood Studios is still a movie studio. We are going on set, or seeing shows, about characters. I guess you could do a book report boat ride for Stitch. To me the space portion of the movie, like XE, is the better storyline. I am not a little kid though.

I am also not a flume ride fan. So, water rides don’t need to be there unless it’s a slow boat like in MK.

just wishful thinking here but, so far today, we’ve gotten a lilo and stitch plug in the parksblog post about the animation building, and now confirmation about development on lilo and stitch 2.

Lilo and stitch would make for an awesome water ride in this area, a “Hawaiian roller coaster ride”, if you will. It would also be pretty cool if the building where lilo and stitch was created and developed was replaced by it’s very own ride.

I think that would work really wrll

Do you happen to know if connecting to the back of sunset blvd is part of the current plan?

I’m not sure if it survived to today but that was part of a proposal many years ago.

Make it about Hawaii and add it to a Polynesia/Oceania area of AK. You've already got Nemo, they could have Moana and Stitch and figure out how to do Australia - lots of cool animals there. I'm not letting this idea go lol

Disney has shared a look inside the Feature Animation building:

Inside Feature Animation Florida Where Lilo & Stitch Was Made

I'm taking you with me inside Feature Animation Florida, where we work in the halls and offices where Disney's "Lilo & Stitch" was made.

Independent of whatever the animation courtyard thing is can we just talk about how cool it is to see inside this building?

 

[Drew the Disney Dude]

Perhaps they can present MV3D in the latest hours of the day or just at some point like they do with impressions de France. I think Jack from DSNY brought up that idea, or maybe it was Drew, honestly can't remember. I'm trying to bargain here lol.

So you think you're an extra on Rise? That Toy Story Land is a set where they...filmed...Toy Story?

I worry about the fate of Jungle Cruise if this happens.

JC is CM intensive, takes up a huge footprint, and probably an operational nightmare (capacity throughout, load/unload issues, inherent maintenance to water attractions). I don’t see DL’s going anywhere for various reasons, but could see an attraction + connected resort hotel announced in the next few years.

There's even a video now showing more spots inside the building!

In other words a dumping ground for things that don't fit in other parks.

id agree with this if it was still a studio park. its in shambles

 

[Tori]

This may be an unpopular opinion but water rides shouldn’t be in a dry park unless they’re a slow moving boat ride. If I wanted to get wet I’d go to water park.

Yes, but what about when it's 105 degrees with 90% humidity like last week? That splash of water comes in very handy then
