==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<ref> http://www.thisdayindisneyhistory.com/Disney-MGMGrandOpening.html </ref>. 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 maps)<ref> http://www.florida-project.com/images/guidemaps/ds/disney-mgm-studios-guidebook-1989-mid-02.jpg </ref>. When the park debuted, Lakeside Circle was home to the Monster Sound Show and SuperStar Television <ref name= "map2"> http://www.florida-project.com/images/guidemaps/ds/disney-mgm-studios-guidebook-1989-mid-06.jpg </ref>. On the Monster Sound Show attraction guests were recruited to add sound effects to an "all-star haunted house mystery" <ref name= "monster"> http://waltdatedworld.com/id69.htm </ref>. Similarly, SuperStar Television was another interactive attraction that had guests recreating some of television's greatest moments <ref name=Superstar"> http://waltdatedworld.com/id68.htm </ref>. Also located in the land were the restaurants: Hollywood and Vine, the [[50's Primetime Café]], the Tune In Lounge, [[Min & Bill's Dockside Diner]], the [[Backlot Express]], and [[Dinosaur Gertie's Ice Cream of Extinction]] <ref name= "map2"/>.
