==Changes Since Opening Day==
===1989-2000===
Although only opening with five attractions, Disney-MGM Studios was popular and quickly expanded. Later in 1989, the [[Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular]] opened in [[Lakeside Circle]] <ref> http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/mgm/st-indiana.htm </ref>. Initially intended to be an opening day attraction, the new show recreated stunts from the Indiana Jones film "Raiders of the Lost Ark". Also in 1989, [[Star Tours]], another collaboration between Disney and George Lucas, made its debut. The new motion simulator attraction that transports guests to the world of the George Lucas' Star Wars film series <ref> http://www.wdwinfo.com/wdwinfo/guides/mgm/st-startours.htm </ref>. In 1990, New York Street was opened for pedestrians (it had previously been part of the [[Backlot Tour]]) and the 3D film [[Muppet Vision 3D]] was added <ref name= "timeline"> https://www.mouseplanet.com/10692/Celebrating_the_Silver_Anniversary_of_Disneys_Hollywood_Studios </ref>. Also added to New York Street at this time was the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids Playground <ref name= "timeline"/>.

In 1994, the [[Sunset Boulevard]] expansion was added to the Studios <ref> https://disneyparks.disney.go.com/blog/2014/06/vintage-walt-disney-world-sunset-boulevard-under-construction/ </ref>. As a part of the addition, the [[Twilight Zone Tower of Terror]] opened. On the Tower of Terror, guests are transported into Rod Sterling's Twilight Zone where they board a haunted elevator. The elevator drops guests 15 stories before rising back up and dropping them again. The next change major to the park came in 1997, when the Monster Sound Show was replaced with the ABC Sound Studio: One Saturday Morning<ref name= "timeline"/>. The new show was used to feature cartoons airing on ABC, a network recently purchased by Disney. In 1998, the nighttime spectacular Fantasmic! was added to Disney-MGM Studios<ref name= "timeline"/>. The new firework show features a battle of good vs. evil staring Mickey Mouse. In 1999, Sunset Boulevard got another thrill ride with the addition of the [[Rock N' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith]], which took guests on a high speed tour of Hollywood set to the music of Aerosmith <ref name= "timeline"/>. ===Disney-MGM Studios 2000-2007===
With the turn of the 21st century, Disney-MGM Studios began to see a series of changes. As a part of the 100 Years of Magic celebration, a 122 ft. tall Sorcerer’s Hat (from the Disney movie Fantasia) was constructed in front of Grumman’s Chinese Theater <ref> http://www.yesterland.com/removehat.html </ref>. At this time, Walt Disney's One Man Dream also opened <ref name= "timeline"/>. The new attraction featured both a museum of Disney artifacts and a short biographical film about Walt Disney himself. In 2003, the animation studio located at the park closed, ending the Animation Tour that had been a staple of the park since opening day <ref> http://www.filmbuffonline.com/News/2003-2004/DisneyClosesStudio.htm </ref>. In 2004, New York Street was expanded to include architecture found in San Francisco and renamed The Streets of America. The section of the Studio Tour that resided behind the Streets of America (Residential Street) was then bulldozed in 2004 in order to make room for a new stunt show titled Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show, which opened in 2005 <ref> http://allears.net/tp/mgm/m_stunt.htm </ref>.
===2007 Name Change===
{{Quotation|"The new name reflects how the park has grown from representing the golden age of movies to a celebration of the new entertainment that today’s Hollywood has to offer—in music, television, movies and theater"|Meg Crofton, President of Walt Disney World Resort <ref name= "yesterday"/>}}
Reflected in the name change was the fact that over time the theme of the park had changed. Originally the park was set in the Golden Age of Hollywood, but by 2007 the theme had clearly shifted to a more modern view of filmmakingfilm making. By 2008, the park had been renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios; however it took more time to change all the affected signs<ref name= "yesterday"/>.
