Breaking: More Closures Announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios, Including Iconic Earful Tower


This morning, it was announced that Lights, Motors, Action! at Disney's Hollywood Studios would be closing on April 2, 2016. That is not all however, as we are just learning of more closures at the park. Shortly ago, we learned multiple attractions and sights around the park would also be closing. The biggest being the iconic Earful Tower will be removed in the coming weeks if not at least by April 2. The following attractions, meet & greet, and quick service will be closing April 2 as well:

  • Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure 
  • Mike and Sulley Meet & Greet
  • Studio Catering Co. (Quick Service)
  • Watto's Grotto
  • The Writer's Stop
The Earful Tower being removed is just a sign of the times however as the future of the park is letting guests step into the movies. The location of the park's former icon is in the middle of where the future of Toy Story Land lays so the removal makes since. The question remains however will it be permanently removed from the park or just moved somewhere else inside the park.

Of course all this is due to the impeding construction that is about to begin on the park. With Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land construction just beginning, the closures of these attractions are important just as the Big Thunder Ranch Area (permanent) as well as Rivers of America (temporarily closure) at Disneyland are important. 

We will all certainly miss seeing the Earful Tower inside the park and I hope it isn't totally removed but this all important for the future of Hollywood Studios or whatever they choose to name the park. Again as always stay tuned for more details about the largest-expansion ever at Disney's Hollywood Studios. Will you be missing any of these attractions closing at Hollywood Studios?
