Not to be outdone by Animal Kingdom, Disney’s Hollywood Studios also now has a new Starbucks “You Are Here” mug for sale at the Trolley Car Cafe on Hollywood Boulevard.
The new mug does away with Fantasmic! and some other park icons, featuring the park entrance, Tower of Terror, Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, and the upcoming Alien Swirling Saucers attraction for Toy Story Land (opening Summer 2018).
You put us on a mug!! We are eternally grateful!!
Disney spent more money on these mugs than they did on the rest of Toy Story Land
Adding unopened attraction artwork to the mugs is maybe over-confident and gutsy. Yet, somehow I like it! It reminds me Disney used to put the future attractions on park maps the year before as if to say “come back next year”. A bold move but a very Disney move to build excitement. Epcot mug will be insane and 75% unrecognizable if they do same move for that park (a giant rat in chef hat next to the Eiffel tower and Groot waving at us from behind Spaceship Earth?).
PS – they have to work on the name Alien Swirling Saucers, the acronym is unfortunate. Same devious imagineers who came up with MILF (Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor)?
Realistically the brown box is what the construction wall ridden park currently looks like. It’s as if Disney is saying “we got your money sucker come back in three or four years when its worth the full price, as you wait we also closed the flagship attraction but enjoy this off the shelf carvinal ride based on not even secondary tier characters (7th or 8th maybe) from Toy Story that might open next year.” Exciting I can’t wait to pay full price to visit a mostly closed park. What a bold Mickey Mouse move. Classic Disney its what Walt and Star Lord would want
“Mostly closed”…
Attractions that are closed:
Honey, I Infected the Kids Snot Ridden Playground
Fake Buildings
The Backlot Snore
Lights, Motors, Repetition
The Once Great Movie Ride
Christmas Tree Lights
Attractions that are open:
Tower of Terror
Rock N Rollercoaster
Toy Story Midway Mania
Star Tours
Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular
Little Mermaid
Beauty and the Beast
Frozen Sing Along
Fantasmic
Star Wars fireworks
Muppet Vision 3D
Celebrity Spotlight
Star Wars Launch Bay
So, no…not mostly closed, and the things that are closed, besides the Great Movie Ride, were tired and useless anyway.
Ouch and I thought I was insulting!! Though, Honey, I Infected the Kids Snot Ridden Playground, very original title!! :)
Four open rides
Toy Story mania aka the old 90s Disneyquest pirate ride without a plot or a reason for cannons
Tower of marvel free IP terror
Rock N roller coaster shocker free
Star tours its not the same simulator ride that casinos have gotten rid of
The rest of the open “attractions” are a glorfied giftshop (Launch Bay) or more then decade old shows that look better watched on youtube. Spin that DJ
So, you’d rather even MORE things were closed??
More to the point, if we are only concentrating on RIDES that are closed, then there are only 2 that are closed, and both were also more THAN (not then) a decade old. That’s the Great Movie Ride and the Backlot Tour. Not need for spin here…I have FACTS on my side.
I’m not on your side.
Agreed MGMdowner, great titles! :) I especially love the Rock N Roller Coaster Shocker Free title, very witty!!
Are the Fantasmic! YAH mugs still available?? I haven’t gotten that one yet, because I didn’t know it was a thing!
