Mar. 23, 2012: The Carthay Circle Theatres (plural) at DHS

[Werner Weiss]

The real Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles has been gone since 1969. A replica is the new focal point of Disney California Adventure. But this isn’t the first time that Disney’s Imagineers have paid tribute to the Carthay Circle Theatre.

It's to bad that the real Carthay Circle Theater was torn down many years ago and replaced with an ugly office building.

Hey Werner,
I don't know if you saw this that I posted on the main board:

The Interior Of The Actual Carthay Circle Theater Today

Thanks for another informative article.

I think it makes a great park weenie "castle" - those big, fancy theaters weren't called "movie palaces" for nothing!

Wonderful Article! Buena Vista Street (if it opens on time,) looks to have elements from the shelved Maroon Toon Studios Expansion for MGM(DHS) (The Red Car Trolley System) and the shelved 1920's Main Street USA for DLP (Oswald's Gas Station.) That's my observation on the renewed entrance land.
