May
1, 1989 (with the rest of the Disney's Hollywood Studios) |
| Origins: |
There really is
an Echo Lake in Los Angeles, and it served
as an inspiration for the fantasy version at
the Disney's Hollywood Studios. The real Echo Park
Lake is a man-made lake that's adjacent to
the Edendale Studio of Mack Sennett's Keystone
Pictures. Dozens of silent movies were shot
in the early days of Hollywood on this lily
covered pond. |
| Updates: |
The first major
expansion of the Disney's Hollywood Studios was the
Back Lot Annex which opened on December 15,
1989. The expansion included new sections
being added to Echo Lake.
Whether
intentional or not, the additions to Echo
Lake have included
two attractions (Star
Tours and the Indiana
Jones Stunt Spectacular), that were themselves
inspired by the early serial matinee films
of yesterday. Echo Lake continues to pay tribute
to the classic story-telling that was a hallmark
of the early days of Hollywood. |
