Really? I considered them but didn't think they looked like bamboo.

Quote from: "Magic M"Those are bamboo?  They are massive!!!

Yeah it's there to make you feel smaller, bring more shade and greenery all year long to the park and to block out some of the visual intrusion as well.  Expect to see a lot more of that bamboo the coming weeks.  :)

Quoteblock out some of the visual intrusion as well.

Surely the bamboo won't block out the top of RC Racer and Parachute Drop ? Therefore I think it is likely that some adjustments to Hollywood Blvd. may be made, however trivial.
Although the bamboo does add some greenery, it's something the studios has been crying out for, so whilst there is alot of criticism for the project it may be positive in a way!!

Thanks Kristof. I was researching TSPL the other week and looked within an 'Unofficial Guide to Disneyland Paris 2010' guidebook where it said along with the 3 main attractions there would be an outdoor playarea, much in the fashion of the one in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Is there any news on whether this plan is still going ahead?

Good question Adam.  I've seen a concept art of a Toy Soldiers themed slide, but this idea was dropped.  I don't believe a large play area was even considered.  (At least not from what I've been told and shown.)

The same bamboo can be seen in Flik's Fun Faire at DCA. Here are a few pictures of the entrance

The bamboo is really high. Hopefully it will be high enough to hide TSPL so that it can not be seen from the ToT.

Its looking like it might eventually :)
It'll be interestinbg to see how this all blends into Studios as I felt it lacked a bit of greenery. But obviously I havent seen the park in 2 1/2 years so dont know what Hollywood Boulevard and TOT  has done to the park.
...... I am getting really excited to see all these changes :D :D

Just looking at the DLRPMagic guide, it looks like there is a questioned shop. As for it's location, has the answer been staring us in the face?

Seeing as the majority of the RC Racer queueline is to be outdoors(as shown by the Scalextric concept model), this would mean that the building behind RC is far too big to purely be a queueline. It is miles  :lol: bigger than those for the PD and ZZS , plus the exit door is alot larger than all the others on the building ,and therefore I presume this is for the new store...
