the mgm studios plan looks like the one form the early 90s, hence the lack of tot and rrc.

but yeah, placemarker park, needs investment!

i hate it, but love the rides, go figure.

Even the MGM Europe looks like it has a horrible layout. Disney brags about the spoke and wheel but do they use it?

/\ Sometimes. Lol.

Wow. Where the hell has that art (almost looking exciting) been for the last 7 years? All I've ever seen (for WDS not MGM-Europe) has been those few crappy bits of art.

...and where did all those trees in the artwork go?

it looks real firmilliar of a layout.. just slightly different from the original... no Mickey Avenue... otherwise it's close...

It doesn't look bad of a design... wonder why they modified it to the current park?? they could have used that park design and changed a few things when needed like the chinese theater (probably)... nice photos

Isn't it amazing how some stuff can look good on paper but turn out to be a massive dissapoinment,once the budget is cut.Like the concept art for Armegeddon.

Well, I'd rather see this park next to Disneyland park then WDS

[Zarniwoop]

Has anyone been in WDS after dark? It looks and feels totally different. Actually it looks great when all lights are on.

..shame that the park always closes at 6pm. It should open at noon and close at 8pm.

Well even the original MGM-Europe concept was underdeveloped like the original MGM concept. The tram tour, Great Movie Ride, and Gangster Shootout were to be the only rides at first. Lots of "soundstage attractions" which we've seen how well they work (MGM's are almost all gone) and New York Street and future area for Honey I Shrunk the Kids play area...seems WDS only differs in the themeing area from MGM-Europe (well maybe MGM-Europe had one more large scale ride).

wasn't Armegeddon origionaly developed for DCA were the Millionare building sits?

did it really get a budget cut? I thought it was fairly low budget already

Well the concept art shown above of Armegeddon looks a lot differn't to the finish attraction currently situated at the Studios.So it would not suprise me if at the time management slash a bit of the attractions budget.

Yeah thats right DCA was also supposed to get the Armegeddon attraction and in my opinion got a lucky escape.
