Here's my thoughts on how to keep things from going belly-up in this particular park:
- Change the name to just plain "DISNEY STUDIOS" (forget filling the "MGM" void with "HOLLYWOOD". We KNOW what sort of studios they are. We won't confuse it with "DISNEY'S HACKENSACK STUDIOS"), and stick to it.
- Bring back the live taping, for both TV and movies. This will hopefully give you more to bank on than Raven (which hasn't been taping in a long time), Cory in the House (Raven's less-than-successful spinoff), Suite Life (which may be headed for the axe soon), Hannah Montana (who might not be around Disney in 5 yrs or so), and the High School Musical series of movies (to which the Disney execs are trying to raise millions upon millions to pay Zac and Vanessa, to convince them to be in HSM3). MORE SHOWS! MORE VARIETY! BETTER ACTING! HAND DRAWN ANIMATION, ALONG WITH COMPUTER ANIMATION! BETTER STORYLINES! THAT'S WHAT WE WANT IN DISNEY CHANNEL AND DISNEY MOVIES!!
- completely re-think the Backlot Stage Tour. Imagineers will have their work cut out for them.
- redo Playhouse Disney - LIVE. Kids in this demographic have NO IDEA who Bear, Stanley, and Olie anymore. (shame too, as I love Bear and Olie!) Replace them with Handy Manny, Ooh and Aah, the Sprites, and of course, Mickey.
- Pixar Place is a good idea....let's just hope and pray they do it RIGHT. How about a CARS and/or INCREDIBLES themed attraction? A restaurant featuring the style of Remy and Linguini?
- more ORIGINAL attractions and features. IMAGINEERS, are you listening??
- update Star Tours. (I love the current ride. But even if they don't update the storyline, they could at least update the technology).
- IMHO, I'd love to see an expansion of the MUPPETS area. Make a mini-attraction with Statler and Waldorf. How about making the Muppets Mobile Lab a permanent feature? Disney now owns the licenses to these guys....let's utilize them fully! Make something original that the whole family can enjoy....and that Jim Henson himself would be proud to put his name (and creations) to.
.....and the list could go on and on. Of course (to quote Dennis Miller), that's just my opinion. I could be wrong....
