Episode 11 - Reimagine the Backside of Disney’s Hollywood Studios DisneySpace
-
- Leisure
Jeff and Mark return from a short winter break and reimagine the entire backside of Disney’s Hollywood Studios theme park. The basic ambition is to “round out” the map of the park, allowing visitors to make their ways around the perimeter, much like the lands of Magic Kingdom, connecting Sunset Boulevard with Toy Storyland, experiencing an assortment of attractions, shows, and restaurants along the way.
The episode begins with impressions of the newly opened Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser, just outside of Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. We then discuss the progress of Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT. Next we talk about Disney’s “StoryLiving” real estate ambitions, and Mark recollects Disney’s first dabbles into the real estate business with its early eighties acquisition of Arvida Properties prior to Celebration.
Mark builds out the back of Hollywood Studios with a fully themed land called “Uptown”, home of The Incredibles on the outskirts of Municiberg. This includes several surprises including a nearby DVC resort.
Jeff reveals an exciting adventure called “The Kingsman” pulled from Disney’s recent acquisition of 20th Century Fox , providing a unique edgy experience for guests, allowing them to experience role playing, story building, and stunt experiences all at the same time! Jeff also gives some honorable mentions of alternate ideas of a land for The Simpson and Family Guy - more Fox properties, more experiments of “edginess” as a notion for land design.
