Disney's Hollywood Studios - Star Tours Sign & More


     Usually, we have noticed that the Magic Kingdom is the park that has received the most attention, and that's true, since we know there have been a lot of projects going on, both in the past and in the present time. Now, however, we have notice all the new additions that will be coming soon to another Walt Disney World theme park: Disney's Hollywood Studios. 

     No, it's not that Disney has announced the long-rumored "Monsters, INC" roller coaster, but the new Star Tours 2 is something that many are looking forward to see. In addition to that, a lot of new meet-and-greets, rehabs and other additions are coming. Let's take a look, in our new Disney's Hollywood Studios update:


No more "Sounds Dangerous":


The car in front of "Oscar's" is still under refurbishment:


I would prefer this view without a certain hat...


The Great Movie Ride:



Sounds Dangerous, back in its seasonal operation:




The new poster is still out there, though:


- STAR TOURS -

Star Tour's show-building has received a new color scheme:

Just today, the Disney Parks Blog announced that a new billboard was placed, just this morning! We missed it by less than one day... Here's the new billboard:

The Mulch, Sweat and Shears band:





Nothing new here:


As always:


Yeah, of course... :


Work has begun on the (former?) queue area of "The Magic of Disney Animation". Has Disney finally understood that they would never, ever use that extended queue? Will they use it in another way (yet more meet-and-greets?), or is it a random refurbishment of the never-used queue?:



They were even covering the fans... This may not be just an everyday refurb... can it?:



The new Winnie the Pooh meet-and-greet are is being built. It replaced Lotso's meet-and-greet:




Sunset Blvd:


New walls have popped-up here too!:


They've got some posters on it (talking about subtle theming!):



What are they working on here?:



The red trolley/pin station is back, after its refurbishment:


The Hollywood Tower's extensive exterior refurbishment is finally done:




The new "mystery" patio is done too:



An up-close look at the Hollywood Tower Hotel's patio reveals some new copper-like sticks:

That is all for Disney's Hollywood Studios! Thanks for viewing.

  1. The sticks on the patio are lighting rods. I still don't know what that patio is for.

  2. Am I right in thinking that patio faces onto the Fantasmic theatre? If so that would be a great place to watch from? Maybe it is a VIP area for that?
