The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hollywood

I'm sure they have to gut it of all useable components.

Yep, much like T2 most of work being done over the first few months will all be inside the theater. If you ask me I think they're going to pull a TF and try to utilize as much of the existing structure as possible when you consider it's shape and size  would work well to benefit Hogwarts.

Don't need to fret about the Gibson George I hear that a location has already been picked for the new venue and its not connected to the park or citywalk or the backlot but it is on the USH property.

Are you sure it is not connected to City Walk?

Are you sure it is not connected to City Walk?

Not from what Ive heard but I(my sources) could be wrong. This area looks small for a full sized venue(New venue will most likely will be larger than the Gibson) . P-13 most likely will be a parking structure.

 

[Red Carpet]

I wonder if P-13 will be dedicated parking for the new venue.

Wasn't the Gibson having trouble booking acts?

Not that I know of but if it did it was because the Gibson was so hidden and old.

Yes.  Nokia Theater/LA Live/ Staples Center was a HUGE, HUGE blow to Gibson.    If LA Live didn't exist, Gibson would still be around.

They will make a new venue to have it become a ride in the future?? or maybe Phase 2?? Who knows...

 

[k_peek_2000]

I can't imagine a new venue would be as large as the Gibson, mainly because there is not much room for something in that scale. I can see them building something on a much smaller intimate scale, like a House of Blues or club sized venue, IF they were to build one.

By the way... I had no idea this was how the ride worked... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kR1bCJB9J8

Heads up, Spoilers galore for anyone who hasn't ridden or wants to be surprised

Forbidden Journey is one of most impressive rides out there! 

I would love to have a tour with the lights on and just watch the ride cycle.

 

[William]

Forbidden Journey really is an insanely cool ride. It's cool to see how the magic of the ride works.

 

[smoaT]

I am just amazed on the whole thing. It looks like an expensive and very difficult ride to keep up.

 

[William]

Oh, it definitely is. Not much of an issue, though, if you're selling that much Potter merch.

 

[k_peek_2000]

There is major demo work being done on the Gibson right now.

I'd love pictures of all the demolition of Gibson and the cleared Curious George area. You can take clear pictures of the cleared Curious George area from the top level of the Simpsons exit ramps.

That would require me to ride Simpsons. I love you but I'm not sure I can handle that =P

You think I want to make that sacrifice as well? I mean, that's what Jon is for
