Opened:

May
1, 1989 (with the rest of the Disney's Hollywood Studios) |
| Origins: |
A significant component
of the production facilities constructed at
the
Disney's Hollywood Studios was a number of working
sound stages. These were located behind Hollywood
Boulevard on Mickey Avenue, and several films
and TV shows were produced here. The sound
stages also served as hosts for a number of
temporary attractions that highlighted the
latest Disney
productions.
In the tradition of the old Hollywood studios,
a water tower was constructed behind Mickey
Avenue, complete with a pair of 5000 pound
Mickey ears! The "Earffel Tower" (as it came
to be known), served as the park's first iconic
landmark, though unlike the water towers of
old this one was strictly decorative. |
| Updates: |
As the Disney's Hollywood Studios became more and more popular, areas
that were previously closed to the public were
now opened to improve traffic flow and to accommodate
new attractions. Chief among these locations
was Mickey Avenue, and as the public was provided
more access to these backlot areas, Mickey
Avenue played host to more permanent attractions,
such as the Who
Wants to Be a Millionaire? Play It! show. |
