[toys2cool]

Did you guys hear that Disney will be changing MGM's name? this is stupid to me

Disney Park Gets New Name – Disney's Hollywood Studios

Disney Park Gets New Name – Disney's Hollywood StudiosMeg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World® Resort, recently announced that Disney-MGM Studios will be renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios, effective January 2008. "The new name reflects how the park has grown from representing the golden age of movies to a celebration of the new entertainment that today's Hollywood has to offer – in music, television, movies and theater," she said. Disney's Hollywood Studios will deliver new attractions and experiences this fall and next spring including: Toy Story Mania!, Block Party Bash, Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!, Disney High School Musical 2: School’s Out!, and Meet and Greet Adds Handy Manny. "This is easily one of the most ambitious attractions rollouts in the 18-year history of the park," Crofton said.

LOL! I actually like this park but think it needs to be a little updated especially the Star Wars ride that gets me motion sick every time,but atleast they said new attractions will be coming so we'll see,it's worth it just for the tower of Terror to me

[mitchedwards]

I was not impressed with Disney MGM when I was there last Oct.

Tower of terror scared the scrappydoo out of me. Iv'e jumped out of an airplane twice and it wasn't as frightening. I do still like the Star Wars ride though.

I can understand it from a business point of view...they licensed the MGM name originally just to get some of the properties for their "Great Movie Ride" I believe (think "Wizard of Oz", "Singing In the Rain", etc.). Seems like they're breaking from the "Old Hollywood" theme to pump interest in more modern franchises like Toy Story and High School Musical.

We've always enjoyed Disney-MGM whenever we've gone but it is a little lacking...it's a small park to begin with compared to the others. And it seems there are more shows than actual ride attractions, so the day pretty much blows by before you even do anything because you're sitting in one of the theatres/soundstages. The fact that it's the earliest closing park doesn't help matters either.

But the Tower of Terror still rocks! My favorite hands down, er, raised in the air!

[toys2cool]

yeah I'd like to see some more stuff added,but I just hope they don't touch the Wizard of oz and others movie ride,Tower of terror,aerosmith coaster,the Lil' Mermaid show and my favorite thing in all of MGM the Star wars gift shop

and to eat-the sci-fi 50's drive in restaurant

The Sci-Fi Drive-In is cool! The 50s Prime Time Cafe not so much. The waiters and waitresses portraying "uncles" and "moms" can be annoying.

i dont like the name and havent been there but more sci fi stuff is always a good thing.

It was ok for me. The Tower of Terror was not working when I was there which bummed me out but the Aerosmith Rock 'n' rollercoaster was good. Not a lot of big thrills or dips but I did like the story line.

The Sci Fi Cafe was really good and I did like the shows.

The park is great for half a day. Get the park hopper and spend the afternoon and evening at magic Kingdom or epcot

[kingdom warrior]

Cool I actually like this Park I liked the animated studio and Tower of Terror is awesome...

[The Toyroom]

Is the Animation Tour still showing that dated film with Robin Williams and Walter Cronkite?

...Disney High School Musical 2: School’s Out!...

That would be cool if Alice Cooper was involved and slaughtered them with his guillotine, sword, etc. I'd watch that.
