Hollywood Studios: Catastrophe Canyon Demolition Photos
After sitting idle for more than a year, some portions of the former Studio Backlot Tour are finally being demolished or removed at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
One of the key components of the attraction was "Catastrophe Canyon," a large movie set that involved plenty of special effects, including fire, water, and even a faux earthquake. That large construction (which was mostly rockwork) is now almost completely demolished to make way for multiple new themed lands.

Take a quick look at the current status of Catastrophe Canyon (photos taken from the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show stadium, which is located right in front of the former studio tour attraction):
Most of the rockwork is completely gone:
This is all that's left of the former motion platform that simulated the earthquake:

Nice update guys!
ReplyDeleteGreat vantage point.
Well, that was depressing
ReplyDeleteToo bad Disney can't construct new rides as fast as they can rip down old ones!
ReplyDeleteSo does this mean they won't be incorporating this in Carslandia?
ReplyDeleteYes. Yes it does. It was a rhetorical question.
I wonder where the plane will go.
ReplyDeleteAnd ignore the trolls.
18 months after closing, they finally get around to taking it down
