Yay! We have one building this pretty much complete! (On the exterior anyway) :lol:

I think it looks really good. Very detailed :wink:

Thanks Grandmath! The Hollywood Boulevard is progressing rapidly. I can't wait to explore it when it's open. Imagine the neon lights, palm trees, jazzy area loop and the screams of the people in the elevators in the background. :)

By the way; it seems that the Partners Statue is getting a worthy background aswell. Way better then the ugly former Studio Tram Tour billboard. It will be quite hard to recognise the Studios once all the placemakings are done. :wink:

Thanks again for another great photo update Raptor, the photos are brilliant as usual :)

Sorry if it's already been mentioned, but do you know when the area will be open to the guests?

I think it opens in November. I'm not sure exactly when though.

The trees around the Partners statue have been relocated, so that you now get a complete panoramic view of the Boulevard once you go out of Studio 1. It's pretty impressive!

I also posted some new pictures here from today. Enjoy:

Hey, I did not expect that! But it looks good... very good.

I hope they remove the ugly blue lamposts and silver "lighting rig" in that shot now, they're the only things spoiling it. It'd be nice if they continued the new parade route poles and lamposts seen on the concept art into the plaza, if they can stretch the budget.

The view along the boulevard is also much more convincing than I expected. All good. :D

I hope so too! Although those lightning rigs are typically Walt Disney Studios to me, they only fit in with the Backlot area in my humble opinion. At least not in the Hollywood that never was.

The view along the boulevard is also much more convincing than I expected. All good. :D


Indeed. It looks really convincing from this point. So far it already looks lightyears ahead of the awfully cheap foreced perspective at DCA. Even the New York and San Fransisco backdrops at MGM look less convincing. Great stuff! :)
