Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

Remove Indiana Jones, Star Tours and Muppets and create a new area. Hell, might as well add the big wheel and a dark ride.

Sight lines be damned although I think in Star Wars, you probably wouldn't be able to see anything.

The park needs additions, though, not replacements.

Just to keep track, is this the space that @Orlandofan12 is referring to?

That’s the space I was referring to, definitely and I believe he was as well.

New Grand Avenue kiosk, themed to match the facades on the opposite side of the road (of course the scale is out of whack):

Just a side note for anyone interested the contractor on this job is Hensel Phelps General Contractor & Construction | Hensel Phelps IIRC they do a lot with Disney?

Maybe they do a lot of small stuff for Disney. Whiting Turner is who Disney goes to for a lot of their big stuff.

Nothing says the 30th like Monsters, Inc.!

I totally get wanting to slap the logo on anything and with any characters, and I'm really fine with that... but I would kind of like to see versions featuring properties that have been in the park a while, like Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and the Muppets.

I agree. I just think this is because they're doing a new meet and greet with Monsters, Inc in that area.

 

[belloq87]

That makes some amount of sense, then!

Yeah. Didn't I see a bunch of these banners at the entrance to Municiberg with various Pixar characters?

Exactly. I expect to see more rolled out around the park throughout the year, fitting their area.

Former spot of DVC kiosk. I would say it's likely they remove a good chunk of that planter now to relieve the area of the choke-point.

Walls around the area for likely walkway expansion (where speeder bike is):

New Security checkpoint:

Isn’t that the former animation studio? I wonder what they’ll do with the Launch Bay as we get closer to GE’s opening.

Just enough room for 2 low capacity flats. :rimshot:
