Hollywood Studios renamed Trump Studios
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Florida. -- In an unprecedented move, the Walt Disney World Resort has lost Disney's Hollywood Studios in a hostile take over by the Trump Organization, and it's audacious CEO Donald Trump. Previously known as Disney-MGM Studios, the park recently underwent a name change to Disney's Hollywood Studios, reflecting the changing focus of the park to reflect a celebration of the new entertainment that today's Hollywood has to offer—in music, television, movies and theater.
The Trump Organization had been in discussions with the Walt Disney Resort over several sponsorship opportunities and development projects outside of the current Disney resort areas. It became apparent, as negotiations failed, that the Trump Organization had no choice but to stage a hostile take over of one of the Disney theme parks if it was interested in putting their name in front of the thousands of theme park guests that visit each day. Starting on April 1, 2008, Disney's Hollywood Studios will be known as Trump Studios. It will take several months for all the signage in the park and the Walt Disney World resort to be updated to show the change. Several changes to the park will be made over the coming months to reflect the new ownership: 1. All DVC locations will be converted to sales locations for the Trump Towers, high scale condominium towers located in major cities nationwide. Full scale condos will be built in the current Disney Animation building. 2. Apprentice Live attraction - The plans for the upcoming American Idol attraction have been scraped, and will be replaces with the Apprentice Live attraction. Guests will watch an episode of the Apprentice recreated by cast members, including an animatronic Donald Trump, complete with the "You're Fired" catch phrase. 3. The Backlot tour will be retrofitted to take guests on a tour of Trump properties from around the world, including Trump Tower in New York, Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas and Mar-A-Lago, Trump's palatial estate. Catastrophe Canyon will remain, but will be retrofitted to reenact a scene from a Miss USA pageant, complete with existing out of control fire and flooding. 4. The famous Mickey Mouse ears will no longer be sold in the park, but will be replaced by Donald Trump replica wigs, which are expected to be a big hit. 5. The Great Movie Ride will be converted to Trump Orlando, a full service casino, a first for a theme park. Many other fantastic rides and attractions are to be announced in the coming months. The Donald himself looks forward to welcoming all guests to the new Trump Studios during The Donald Weekend during all the weekends in May.
