PHOTO REPORT: Hollywood Studios 10/12/16 (Star Wars, Toy Story Land, Hall of Fame Removal, One Man’s Dream, ETC.)

Work continues on two massive themed lands as a bevy of modest options prepare to open in the not-to-distant future at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. PizzeRizzo is nearing completion, the Dr. Strange preview has finally opened, and something else is brewing at One Man’s Dream in our latest photo report.

Welcome to Hollywood

The projection towers for Star Wars: A Galactic Spectacular are indeed being repainted as the blue tower is already completed.

The beige tower still awaits a new paint scheme. I’m not sure these make the towers look any better, but at least someone is trying.

Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame

Walls are up at the Academy of Arts and Sciences Hall of Fame. Speculation is that this is being removed.

Doctor Stranger Things

While the Doctor Strange preview has opened, the rumored meet and greet has yet to materialize. Could this be a model of an upcoming project or something else?

Doctor Strange signage can be found all around the surrounding area.

Thankfully, someone realized that the Studio Store Coloring Station was dangerous, so outlet covers were installed.

Streets of Rage

If you missed it, a great look at the Star War and Toy Story Land construction sites is offered in this week’s expansion update video:

Hurricane Matthew forced Disney to remove some netting and tarps around the construction areas this week, allowing us a better view of the construction of Star Wars land.

The base of the supports for the facades that once stood at the end of the street are all that is left of it.

Moving down towards Muppets Courtyard, there isn’t much left to see.

The fire escapes off of the New York facades all lay in a pile just behind the walls.

Meanwhile, a trip down to the old Jack Sparrow queue offers a look at what will be an entrance to Toy Story Land.

We have to wonder how much longer this tree will be left standing.

  1. Great first shot! (Hollywood Blvd w/ clouds). :)
    I’m bummed about the Writer’s Stop. Personally, it’s unexpected places like that – with character (no pun intended) – that make parks unique and memorable.

    • I wonder if it closed because pole weren’t going to it as much after Starbucks opened in the park. It seemed t me that pole only ever went to it for a carrot cake cookie and whatever seasonal cupcake that disney wanted to push.

  2. I Would like to see what would become of the Academy Arts building, and I’m still hoping if Disney considers doing a meet and greet for Star and Marco in the old P&F M&G(or will that demolish soon for more land, isn’t it?)
