GaDawgFan.....Kelly 799 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 The rumor is back... based on the operating schedule for things in that section ending Oct. 11th. I'm not saying it's likely. I'm just sharing. http://wdwnt.com/blog/2014/09/bye-bye-backlot-tour-hollywood-studios-pixar-place-expansion-coming-many-current-attractions-closing-soon/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 We can hope. The backlot tour has been a snooze for many years now, IMO. I say get the bulldozer warmed up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I say get the bulldozer warmed up. We can hope, but would they tackle this at the same time as the reimagined Frozen ride and AK expansion? Doubtful. But pretty much anything would be an improvement.

BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 It was dead to me once they got rid of the Golden girls house. Agreed. And as long as they don't close the bar back there, I am AOK with this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted September 19, 2014 Report Share Posted September 19, 2014 After they built LMA the ride became worth less. But I do have good memories from my childhood on that ride. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
devores 382 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Not a rumor. The attraction officially closes 27 sept 2014. To make way for a future project. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I hope they keep the plane on display some where.Also wondering where all those props will be sold I would love to see a much larger version of One Man's Dream built somewhere on WDW property that included the full story of the history and development of WDW. It would include the plane, a rebuilt Progress City model, all the mementos and displays from OMD at HS, history on the Buena Vista shopping village, items from the Preview Center that existed while WDW was being built, etc. Like a museum of sorts that pulled the entire history together.

h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Ok. I guess in the only one that likes the Backlot Tour. It's a great way to kill an 1/2 hour. And I get to sit down for a while. I always wanted to be picked for the opening PT boat scene. And I like driving thru the costuming department.Or maybe I just don't like change.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 We got picked one year. But it was cold out so we declined it was many years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You and me both Ray. I hate change. Maelstrom and Backlot Tour in one week? I don't know if I can handle that. The changes better be good. Cody Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starbuc71 162 Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I thought the backlot tour was closed when the stunt show was built. We just realized last month when we were there it was still open. I'm glad we went on it since its closing it was funny walking through the prop room. It was like walking back in time for me since I don't think one thing in those cages were added since at least 1992 (the last time I have been on it. Catastrophe canyon is a cool thing but you can see how it has shown its age. Half the views you should see while the tram goes through the seamstress shop are blacked out. It's a shame this attraction got shortened and forgot about. I hate to see it go, but it's time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
