Disney's Hollywood Studios or DHS (formerly Disney-MGM Studios) is rumored to be getting an expansion. Since the Backlot closed there have been many rumors out there. Certain insiders on message boards have confirmed a few things, that Toy Story Midway Mania should be getting an expansion with a new track added, and that an indefinite plan is coming to add new attractions where the Backlot Tour was, as well as removing the Hat at the entrance.
DHS has always been lacking in things that appeal to me. When I go to DHS I never ride Tower of Terror or Rockin'
Rollercoaster. I always say I'm going to try them, but I never do. I do
like thrill rides such as Test Track, Big Thunder Mt., etc but the ones
at DHS seem too intense for me. I always ride The Great Movie Ride, Toy
Story Mania, and Star Tours. I'll often eat at The Brown Derby or 50's
Prime Time Cafe, walk around One Man's Dream, see Muppet Vision 3D, and
once in a while see the shows like Lights, Motors, Action, and The
Little Mermaid. I would only go on the Backlot Tour once every two or
three trips.
I think an expanded Toy Story Mania could be a good thing, more capacity should mean lower lines and if we get the expansion, new rides should help alleviate capacity issues. Something also unconfirmed coming to DHS is Toy Story Playland from Paris and Hong Kong. What can I say about this? As long as that's not all we get I guess I would be OK with it, but I kind of hope for more than a clone of a cheap land with basic amusement park style rides. Radiator Springs Racers may not be feasible but I think it would be a good addition. That Monsters Inc. Coaster rumored for years would be nice as well. Since these are Pixar Movies it would obviously fit in Pixar Place. That area needs to have more than just one attraction.
How about a Frozen E ticket? People are upset we are losing The Maelstrom to Frozen. I get Disney wants it added quickly, but adding a new E ticket ride to DHS would give them more time to build while people ride the version in Norway. I personally don't think DHS is in worse shape than DCA. Yes they had more rides, but how many were carnival style rides? Paradise Pier and A Bugs Land was/is filled with them. They didn't have an audio animatronic show either like The Great Movie Ride. Radiator Springs Racers and The Little Mermaid managed to give them AA attractions.
Obviously there could be a lot more to do at DHS. I know Star Wars is rumored to be added as well, but not necessarily as apart of this expansion. I hope for at least 5 new D/ E ticket rides in the expansion. Maybe a few B/ C tickets as well. What do you want to see in a DHS expansion? Do you have any topics you would like me to discuss my opinions on?
