I really see FFF being removed in future phases when that part of the park needs expansion. With Toontown over at DL looking like it has in recent years, maybe some of the FFF stuff could be added there. By then, hopefully DCA has the amount of attractions and attendance to warrant further expansion of the TOT area. I redid my map from earlier, fine tuning some of the details and removing FFF.' <a href="http://i25.tinypic.com/de3337.jpg" target="_blank">http://i25.tinypic.com/de3337. jpg</a> Hollywood Backlot - Becoming "Hollywoodland". I have shown the animation building with a new facade, something more art deco. That building almost looks like any multiplex that has been built in Southern California in the past decade. It's a shame they are using the Pan Pacific turn styles, that facade would be great on the animation building or Hyperion. I have also enclosed the stage area south of Monsters Inc. The Spanish style facade is carried out into a real building, housing a shop and a restaurant. This would be the main restaurant of this part of Hollywoodland. Hyperion Theatre This theatre would become Grauman's Chinese theatre. This would probably never happen as it would require the front half of the theatre to be removed, with another half being added to the back. The queue area would be enclosed with a normal building. Tower of Terror Plaza/Hollywood Hills TOT would remain the same, with the exception of adding a berm and a backstage building. I would remove the cul-de-sac and backstage gate, creating a nicely wooded area in its place. This could be a prime location for a restroom, setback in the trees between the Chinese theatre queue and TOT. Flick's Fun Fair FFF would become the main section to TOT Plaza/Hollywood Hills. This area would be a mix of Mediterranean, Spanish, Tudor and art deco. Something you would find straight out of Southern California in the early part of the last century. This area would feature a D or E ticket, narrow alleyways, lots of shade and trees, and small intimate corners. It would become TOT's very own version of New Orleans square. A restaurant and shops could be added here as well. "Mission Plaza" Mission Plaza would be south of TOT with access to both TOT plaza and Cars land. This area would be nestled in a forest of trees, and would be mainly Spanish architecture. This would be more of a mission setting, like the courtyard of Mission San Luis Rey or Mission Santa Barbara back in their heydays. It would be a bit more rustic than the Walt Disney Plaza so the areas will feel different. An E-ticket, would fill out this corner of the park, and would be set down into the ground one level so the soundstage wouldn't tower over TOT. This could be Critter Country to Tower of Terror's New Orleans Square. More shops, some restrooms and DCA's version of Club 33. There would also be a private entrance in this area for Club 33 members and VIP. New backstage gates replacing the ones near TOT would be added here in a few spots as well. There would also be room between Cars land and Mission Plaza to add a B or C ticket if attendance warranted it. Just some ideas if I were the one calling the shots. What do you guys think? <a href="http://i25.tinypic.com/de3337.jpg" target="_blank">http://i25.tinypic.com/de3337. jpg</a>

The images are from a person that used to post in mouseinfo.com. i like a ouple of the ideas he had. i have actually seen some repeated pretty close to what he did in those pictures in other boards. There is another that is pretty interesting. It looks like he added a small harbor south of the warf. It has small boats that take people under the paradise bridge into the bay. South of that he added a somewhat re-arranged version of Everest. At first it was just a cut and paste but he managed to actually reverse it and re-arrange a portion of the track to make it fit the area. I also checked it and it is to actuall size compared with the DCa aerial.

That side of the building needs to have an open access for maintenance. i like the large open area around Tower.
