Another appreciation post for The Hollywood Tower Hotel? I think yes.

Of course, have to go through the entrance gates, but who can resist the skyline at sunset?

Almost like the Gringotts dragon from that project down the road but this time it is The Hollywood Tower Hotel. 

The Hollywood Tower Hotel was a star in its own right; a beacon for the show business elite.

Welcome to Hollywood home of the fireworks testing? Recently, alerts to those living in the area were sent out for potential fireworks tests for one of the parks in the Disneyland Resort Dubai property. Disney's Hollywood Studios has been the topic of many rumors for special events occurring soon, possibly a buyout event or party? Surely more details will be made public soon 😉.

I have news for this project to be revealed soon. I do take a lot of pride in seeing the real-world almost meshing with our RCT3 world.

Discord peeps have seen the rework of Hollywood Studios quickly picking up the pace, and I hope to get a bit done to align with celebrations.

Wow this project has been quiet. So, I did a check on if the old park file would open and work. Well, that test was a success. I started a new park file that did not get too far, so I may end up just continuing the old park file and keep the rework to the side and see how much I can really do with it. The rework was very similar to the new park file, but some sections I could not remember how I handled them in the old file. Expect more updates!

Tomorrow will be the one-year anniversary of Disney's Hollywood Studios official opening. This project is a fun one that is currently getting love to continue being a part of my project list. I am happy to share the following update on the park with the old park file being cooperative (for the time being).

The entrance remains the same outside of the park. This park file has my favorite entrance for any of my Disney Studio park projects (the other file was similar just a bit bigger). Plus, the billboards help add a bit of detail to the park.

Currently, the park is in redevelopment of some guest areas. The area inspired by Hollywood Boulevard is one of them. Buildings are being pushed inwards one tile to make the main street a bit slimmer. With this, recent strategies in handling the path covers are being used with extra attention to details.

Some curbs are being eliminated in favor of being closer to the real-world area. Benches and trash cans are slowly going to be added along with more palm trees.

Here is a look at the one tile difference between the original and the new placement. I am doing this in sections as some buildings are piece-by-piece creations, and it is easier to move the custom scenery buildings and adjust the paths around those.

Untouched will be the Carthay Circle Theater and The Hollywood Tower Hotel (naturally 😉). Surrounding areas will see improvements.

Currently guests are flocking to One Man's Dream, a small stage show at the front of the park.

A fun shot, yes there are in-game paths, but with recent news both the arch and Earffel Tower will be forgotten park symbols of the real Hollywood Studios.

Soon the streets will be a bit slimmer. With that comes more room for growth and improvements to the overall park. It is a little painful to do these refurbishments, but it opens up ideas and methods of making those concepts real. I am excited to see the final product of the slimmer streets.

Rock 'N Roller Coaster will retain its Aerosmith theme here in Dubai. I am looking into plans for a Muppet themed area reminiscent of the area that was in Florida. I have an idea for it, and it will potentially be me trying my hand at a new skill set.

A classic shot to end the update.

The future of Disney's Hollywood Studios is many blue-sky concepts to determine best methods of incorporating different IPs.

One wish list item/attraction is under development and has been shared on a YouTube channel that is known for its custom attractions. The Great Movie Ride will make its way to Disney's Hollywood Studios at some point in the future, fingers crossed. From this, I expect more of the park to take shape around the Chinese Theater and potentially improve existing areas even more for this incorporation. The Chinese Theater has always been an item on my wish list and there have been teasers for years that have gone quiet. Any news is good news!

I am looking into multiple IPs found at the different Disney studio-based parks. I am also looking at past attractions, some that are missed by many guests in the real world. Regardless, this park is a shining star in a nearly 21-year-old game.
