Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

This is a great idea. Or steal the HRRR idea of choosing a song but have it be MODERN OPTIONS.

But....I like my classic rock. A lot of modern music, in my eyes, kind of sucks.

But yeah I like the option of getting to chose your music.

Classic rock is good to have, but when I mean modern options I mean not the Black Eyed Peas and Korn. Give me a good HRRR.

Here's a fun idea: Redo RNRC to do a Test Track 2.0 mixed with HRRR in technology and music choices.

..Meanwhile, from Bio:

Any idea what they’re doing across from Star Tours?

Are you talking about the work in bio’s photos? They’re making the pathway larger.

Yea that’s what I meant. Wasn’t sure if it was anything more than that

Just like Disneyland, DHS is trying to gain every inch of walkable space they can possibly have. I’d be surprised if the starspeeder stays.

If possible, I would move it to Launch Bay.

See, that's funny, because I would get demolition started on Launch Bay. It would be the best place to work on and cause the least impact to the park while also providing an expansion. Obviously it would still impact the park, but an expansion is needed one way or another and they'll need to figure out a way for it to make it happen with the stress the park is going to face.

Launch Bay takes up a decent amount of space. Once Galaxy’s Edge opens up, there’s a decent chance they’ll need to keep Launch Bay just to help handle the park’s crowds.

Otherwise, you’re totally right. Launch Bay is out of the way and nonessential. It would be a great expansion pad for the park that wouldn’t interrupt daily operations.

Well yes, it takes up a decent amount of space (with plenty more space to potentially be used behind the Animation/Launch Bay building)... but i'd say losing that space would be a small price to pay if it means DHS would see continued expansion and make it's way into being a healthier park.

 

[belloq87]

Presumably there will be meet-and-greet spots within Galaxy's Edge, and Tatooine Traders will still sell SW merchandise, so I don't see any reason Launch Bay should stick around. Get rid of it and start planning for the expansion of the park into that area.

I'd also like to see Path of the Jedi replaced with something that isn't just a clips show.

Look at all of this wasted space! Ugh. (courtesy of bio):

Should’ve put Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway there.

Should’ve put Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway there.

They could have... Just like they could have put Guardians in the disused Wonders of Life Pavilion, since the ride's actually taking place behind the entry building anyway...

But I have a theory...

Disney wanted the moving theater rides dead. And so they shut them both down, in the same year. RIP.

But why would they want that unless they turned evil?

The rides are theme park fan rides but are kryptonite for the general public. I also imagine the ride systems themselves were at the end of their service life and it was time to end them.

It's particularly head-shaking and irritating because Disneyland is apparently getting the ride without having to sacrifice anything.

Keeping - and refreshing - The Great Movie Ride while adding a new family-friendly E-ticket in Animation Courtyard (where Runaway Railway could have still been perfectly appropriate, thematically) would have really helped the park's capacity and crowding issues when Galaxy's Edge opens.

That’s exactly why. Maintenance on the rides was getting insanely high and they don’t even make a lot of the parts anymore so for them to viably keep GMR (Energy was a goner due to low ridership), they would’ve had to completely gut and replace the track with new tech for them to keep it.

Man after Galaxys Edge DHS still needs a LOT of work done.

After Galaxy's Edge, I think DHS will be my favorite of the 4 parks.
