Rumour Regarding Name Change for Disney's Hollywood Studios?

Cinemagine? Yup. Terrible idea.

And we, also, still call it MGM.

So their convoluted logic won't let them call it Disney Hollywood Adventure because they fear it will be confused with Islands of Adventure. Heck, people go to MK today and ask where the Harry Potter stuff is anyway, so what's the big deal.
If they don't want to do that, make it another Kingdom:
Magic Kingdom
Animal Kingdom
MOVIE Kingdom

I'll still call it MGM.

Any name other than one which includes "Hollywood" would be insane. The loss of so many iconic original attractions is enough of an insult to the long-time fans of the park. There are so many reminders of Hollywood already at the park, with more to come, either keeping the current name, or insuring that "Hollywood" is prominent in the new name is the most logical option.

Disney never felt so good (So good! So good!)

I completely imagined this in a really deep male voice. Now I want to listen to Jazz and eat Cinnabon.

But if enough people are suggesting it's hard to say, that alone should give Disney pause.

That's because you use words like "portmanteau" and have Beethoven as your avatar Not all of us rooted for Major Winchester in MASH.

Even with you phonetically writing that out, still difficult for me to say quickly. And makes me want a cinnabon.

Couldn't do that, you'd use up your cash hahhahaha

I voted for “Frankie’s Frolicking Film Fest”

Why be coy? Disney's Star Wars Land and some other stuff.

I don't think it is too difficult to pronounce, though not sure how I would feel about it as a name. Maybe not the most catchy but then again I remember most were critical of Disney Hollywood Studios when that came about!

Personally I would like a name that includes "studios" as it is a tribute to the park's origins, but am aware Disney are possibly looking to move away from that with the ongoing transformation of the park. Never been to DCA but I always think of it as the California equivalent of DHS so maybe DHA would be a logical move if the aim was uniformity.

To be honest I think no matter what the sign says, to my parents it will always be called "MGM" or "The one with Tower of Terror!" :mickey:

You're right. Only schoolbread is worthy of the cash. ;)

I second this vote.

A quote from an article on Disney Parks Blog today:

In response to questions we have been receiving, we also want to let fans know that the Disney’s Hollywood Studios name will remain the same for the foreseeable future since we are immersing our guests in a place where imagined worlds of Hollywood unfold around them from movies and music, to television and theater.

So, it looks like the name remains the same...for now, at least.

Allow me to interpret Disney Corporate speak...

We floated an idea that we thought was a home run, but feedback has been poor. We have promoted the individual responsible for this debacle, and promise that the name we finally settle on will be so bad that the first idea will look brilliant, after which the original author of the first idea will get yet another promotion!
