==History==
What is today known as the Echo Lake area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios opened with the rest of the then Disney-MGM Studios on May 1, 1989. On the first Disney-MGM Studios maps, the area was not called Echo Lake, but instead referred to as the Backlot Annex/Lakeside Circle (despite the fact that Echo Lake itself was present and called such on Disney-MGM’s opening day). When the park debuted, Lakeside Circle was home to the Monster Sound Show and Superstar Television. On the Monster Sound Show attraction, guests were recruited to add sound effects to an "all-star haunted house mystery". Similarly, Superstar Television was another interactive attraction that had guests recreating some of televisions greatest moments. Also located in the land were the restaurants: Hollywood and Vine, The 50s Primetime Café, the Tune In Lounge, Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner, the Backlot Express, and Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction.
