Announcing server move
Posted by raptor1982 on Wednesday, May 28 2008

We're happy to announce that WDSfans will soon undergo some changes. A new layout is currently being Imagineered (however, it will look similar to the current style), but the biggest change will be moving the site to it's own dedicated webspace. This means that accessing a page will happen directly from the WDSfans.com domain, instead of the Photos Magiuqes one.

Work should start very soon.

Rolling take 2! Aaaaannd... Action!
Posted by Anthony on Friday, August 11 2006

Welcome to the brand new WDS Fans!

We're pleased to announce that shooting has commenced on Take 2 of the internet's only dedicated Walt Disney Studios Park resource. The entire website has been freshened up and transferred to a brand new layout with an extra touch of Walt Disney Studios magic. The script may have been re-written, but don't worry - all the scenes are still intact. From the full attraction guides to massive concept art gallery, it's ready to roll frame-by-frame across your screen once again.

Our new Director's Cut does also feature some brand new things you've never seen before. We're launching a new Articles section with history reviews, park comparisons and photo tours of the park. There's also three brand new attraction guides to Crush's Coaster, Cars Race Rally and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, plus lots more hidden extras across the site.

Please remember, though, the site is still going through test screenings at the moment! There's still some extra shots to add in, so not everything will be fully finished just yet! In particular, the Articles and Park Guides sections are currently still being worked on.

So sit back, relax, and enjoy the magic of the movies - you're about to discover the Secrets, History and Magic of the Studios! Be sure to give us your views on the forum, too!
