Blech. Surely to goodness they could have come up with something better than this. And for that matter, what on earth do they keep changing the name for, anyways?
It's not a studios park anymore.Blech. Surely to goodness they could have come up with something better than this. And for that matter, what on earth do they keep changing the name for, anyways?
It's gross.
Cinema Adventure
Imagination Kingdom
Hell, why not
- Disney's Empire
Just an FYI if you didn't read the article posted in the link above - the name Hollywood Studios is staying for the foreseeable future
I totally forgot that was one of the proposed names. Can't forget Kaleidoscope Park thoughYea I thought the use of Hyperia instead of Hyperion was strange in the original survey too. Think it has a great sound to it and history. They haven't stuck to it with any names in WDW but they have used it for multiple things like the Hyperion Theater and Hyperion Bridge at DLR.
Mickey Views did not start it all. Bob Iger did. Back in 2015? At an investor meeting he said the park's name will change. This survey then came out and several sources picked up on that not just Mickey Views. After that about two weeks ago or so Jim Hill said they were locked in on Cinemagine as the name. Several major media sources picked that up and ran with it. Then that leads us to today where Disney says the name is not changing for the foreseeable future. That doesn't mean never though. That is how it went down.Since the whole original rumor came from "a source" who supposed did a "focus group survey" that offered up "screenshots" of potential (mostly dumb) names ..... to Mickey Views. Mickey Views has managed to get "breaking" video/photo/news from folks and is fun to watch .............. but I think this one was likely a spammer .......... and it took on a life of it's own. Lots jumped on the bandwagon without any credible source, without any verification or any other participants in this special focus group ... but it's good for clicks. Ah, the DisInternet ..... At no time did I believe it was a credible source, just someone having a good laugh at the rumor they started. And now Disney themselves had to shut the rumor mill down. Impressive.
This was what started it all ...
