What I think Disney should've done with New York Street/Streets of America

[Elijah Abrams]

I think Disney's Hollywood Studios should've kept New York Street/Streets of America alive by making it both part of the Backstage Studio Tour and open to pedestrian traffic from the day the park opened. In this scenario, a rule would've been made where guests must stay on the sidewalks of the area when exploring it ("No feet on the street!"). Crosswalks and traffic lights would've also been placed in the area, allowing pedestrians to cross the area's streets. This scenario would've also applied to the park's Residential Street (but with stopsigns instead of traffic lights).

Themeparks are not monuments, they keep changing. They are not meant to last forever.

Would the crosswalks have counted as attractions because they had a per-hour capacity? Hey, kids! Come try the CROSSWALK!

Only $19 for the Crosswalk Lightning Lane!

That area was usually deserted. There was no reason for Disney to continue to maintain a huge space that few guests ever bothered with.

I don't think crosswalks would have invigorated it. They really aren't that exciting.
