The poster looks cool.
The Hollywood logo with characters popping out makes me think of the Animaniacs theme song.

Not a fan of the logo. The font should have been more like the 30th anniversary, stuck with the Old Hollywood aesthetic which still matches the front portion of the park. It's just bland.

And like someone else mentioned above .. it emphasizes Hollywood and de-emphasizes Studios .. which the park is really NOTHING about anymore. (Well except that outdated Indiana Jones Stunt show)

Well Star Tours and Muppet Vision are both still studio themed, Indy doesn’t stand alone yet.

I don't really see Star Tours as being showing you a working studio the way Indy does so not sure I would include that. Muppet Vision sort of does, but just looks like the old Muppet Show to me more than bringing you behind the scenes of how the Muppets are filmed or something

If anything, I'd say the Launch Bay is more like old Studios with showing your props used in movies and stuff like that

The outside of Star Tours is studio themed. The ride itself not so much.

I don't like the new logo.

It's too busy.

Should be simple and clean.

Busy? That I don’t understand. It is rather simple and boring to me.

I think the 3 characters make it busy.

To me, a logo should be something simple. Think of McDonald's M and Coca Cola.

For a Disney logo this is pretty simple. By that none of the park logos have ever been simple and not busy. I’m sure they’ll have different versions of it too with different characters or no characters at all.

Precisely. The entrance of the ride presents itself as a film set, so it’s a film set you’re walking into and experiencing. So studio themed. Muppets are shooting a movie the same as Indy. Indy has a heavier and more direct leaning into the theme but they all still have the elements of it.

Launch Bay is different. It’s not themed as a studio, but it’s still movie themed in the same way Great Movie Ride’s queue was and that One Mans Dream is. Showcasing stuff from film production, but not the production itself.

Permit filing suggests 11 acre expansion to the Magic Kingdom parking lot

 

[OSUZorba]

watching the cavalcade makes me wish DHS had a regular parade every day .... I know it isn't everyone's favorite park but when MGM/DHS is at its best I think it is an amazing park

They already have a parade like every 45 minutes. just because it is short and repetitive doesn't mean they don't have one .

I don't care for the logo by itself, but on the Poster and Arch I think it looks good.

fair point - I'll give you the queue with being able to see the back side of the AT-AT, etc.

yeah, by "regular" I mean a real, more traditional parade - not the stormtrooper march
