According to ED92, on 29th August 2016 the Studio Tram Tour station will be moved back at least 100 metres to allow a complete Hollywood Boulevard, if this is true I think it is highly welcome as Hollywood Boulevard feels more like Hollywood End at the moment. But DLPWonders says that ED92 mainly gives out false rumours although this one sounds like the right idea, so is it true or not?
Considering it's a rumour I think it's going to be hard to get a definitive answer.
But I do think it's extremely plausible as the current Tram Tour position is what is stopping development of that area. I think it's inevitable that it is either moved or removed in order to open up that land behind it.
I really wish people would stop taking ED92 seriously.
All it does is create chaos, false hope and confusion.
Some things that they post are true, but the things that are true have already been confirmed.
Most of it is just a bunch of wishes and hopes from the fanbase which they state as "being true" even though it isn't the slightest bit true.
This again, is also not something that is planned. At least not for this timeframe.
Ofcourse it is Disneyland Paris, so it might happen in the future.
But with all the major refurbs going on in the next 2 years they are most definitely not going to take on any more.

It would be surely less disruptive to put a footbridge or tunnel under the tram tour to reach the land behind. The development of that land could actually take place with minimal disruption to the rest of the park, and even actually put a few extra bits facing onto the tram tour. Let's have a Mickey's Toon Town at DLRP

Sorry but than we don't need to believe DLP also.
ED92 told about Rattatouile, the clossuere of Big thunder mountain, Space mountain and also the refinance of DLP by WDC way before it was announced or even a rumour so give those gues a break will you. Even the guys at Disney and More told that they had info that was correct manny times. Allain of Disney and more sometimes even told that ED92 had contacts that were better than his so in my opinion that says a lot.
If it is a rumour or true I don't know but to say something like this I don't think is fair for a lot of info they do have correct.
Also we all know that the plans of relocating the tram tour station are some older plans so if they will do it in this timeframe I don't know.
I think as long as we state that rumours are just that, I'm happy for them to be posted here
I agree, it's nice to get excited about Disney stuff, to think about what may be, the world won't end if it turns out not to be true

Agreed!
A proper reroute if the Tram Tour is long overdue. I understand why they placed it there for opening day, but it really should have been placed to the back of the property before now.
I guess its easier said than done, but surely there's enough room to place a turning loop and the tram station in the land by the Tower - with the attraction entrance located down that path between Moteurs and Café des Cascadeurs. However, that'd mean relocating the current car shed display, but that can easily go on the new route.
That would then free up the current tram station area to become a full length boulevard. And that's a lot of land - roughly the same distance from the entrance gates to the current tram tour entrance.
They should just close it and be done with it, that ride represents everything that is wrong with the Studios park.
Surely a modern studios park should immerse you in your favourite movies and make you feel like you're there? There isn't much interest in seeing how a movie production studio works anymore, that's why Universal is shifting away from that very idea sto actually creating lands that make guests feel like they are in the movies!
^I think for now, they need to keep hold of it. Just until they've padded out the ride roster to make it a full day park. No need to scrap attractions with high RPH unless there's something of equal capacity to replace it.
We actuary quite enjoy it, it may be a small part of the ride but the part with the fire burst abs the water coming over never fails to get us all laughing or shrieking, and is nice cos the whole family can do it

I would usually agree, but the park can't really expand until that goes because it takes up the whole back portion of the park and blocks off expansion behind the attraction itself. They can't go out any further right towards Disneyland park or they'd be in Frontierland and if they go any further left on the other side they'd be on train tracks :(

They can however, move the entire route to go at the back of the current park boundaries. The attraction would then have to run anti-clockwise, instead of going to the Canyon first, the Reign set would have to be the first (which is better anyway as its such an anticlimax after the Canyon). The trams would then do the return loop after visiting the Canyon.
Naturally, that would mean a few tweaks for the narration etc., but that's easily sorted. Its due an update anyway.
It would appear that there's just enough room to relocate the tram station in the area that currently has the car props, with a new attraction entrance between the Café and Moteurs.
Also, there have been rumours that Paris will receive some of the props from the now closed Florida attraction, they can add those to the new route as distractions from the fact that there's nothing but countryside around.

The Studio Tram Tour closed in Florida a while back.

OK, thanks. I hadn't realised.
If the rumour is true that Paris are getting some of the props from the Flordia Studio Tram Tour which is closing down it will be come a much better ride. They have so many cool props over there.
I've also heard from a good source that the Tram Tour is moving back relocating the station and the tram route so to expand the land available. I believe this is all tied in with when we get the Florida props to make it a big Tram Tour refurb.
How much land is available behind the tram tour to be used for expansion if anyone knows?

At a rough estimate, the depth its about the same distance from the the park gates in Front Lot all the way to the Tram Tour attraction entrance.
Width wise, it goes from the back of the Moteurs stage (where the Reign set is) across to the forest (or around the area of RC Racer in Toy Story Playland if you prefer).
In short, its a heck of a lot of land. They could build a full length Hollywood Blvd., and have space for at least one substantial E-Ticket, or maybe two or three C/D-Tickets. Even more if they encroach on the forest - which I'm not sure they will do until its a necessity.
Yes, I think they were given permission to cut the entire forest a few years ago. It would be sad to see it all go, much better if it can somehow be integrated into the park I think.
I agree with that, I much rather see the forest integrated than cut down also.
They could keep a portion of it, and it could remain on the Tour route - just build a Forest Moon of Endor set (like that seen in front of Star Tours at Disney's Hollywood Studios) or even a bit of Kashyyyk. At least either would be more relevant than Dinotopia.
Studio tram tours needs sorting however its done. In Feb the floor didn't move for the earthquake, as usual 2 carriages were empty, we had the back one and could barely see the effects. it was very disappointing, the previous day we went on it and they made us squash up with a couple,making 5 full size adults in a row, so we couldn't even see lol. and the commentary is so out of date its daft, they still mention the costumes.
^I wonder, does the fact that the last two carriages were empty speak more about the state of the attraction or the state of the park? If everything else in the park has a queue over 5 mins and the Tour remains a walk-on, is it time it went to Yesterland?
I know I said previous that the park needs all the capacity it can get, but if its still struggling on a mildly busy day, you do have to wonder what's the point? They could build two attractions on the Reign and Canyon sets alone, and that's without really having to build/extend Hollywood Blvd.
As for the commentary being out of date.. that's just another sad example of the need to save every cent at the resort. It shouldn't be that way though, you'd think that it wouldn't cost much just to edit out the costuming segment.
Well Now that the rat is open you have the waiting lines there.
What I found a bit disturbing the last time I was there was not the state of the ride but that the ride video still used the Orange logo but the ride is not sponsored by Orange for some time now. I would have thought that the new sponsor would at least would have wanted that changed.
The ride needs a pretty major overhaul in my opinion. It would be enjoyable if it was your 1st time on it but when I go 2 years apart, & there's even less than the time before it almost shows that they're not that bothered.
Shame as I do enjoy the Studios park :)
I really don't care for this "ride"... The same goes for Moteurs.
It's outdated and Disney could do so much better.
I want "memorable" and "beyond my imagination". Nothing less.
