The battle of good vs. evil has been halted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios since COVID-19 shut the parks down in March 2020. With a recent update to Disney’s digital map, we were excited to see Fantasmic! received a new, updated look. We’ve been hopeful this could be a good sign! However, Bioreconstruct took to Twitter on January 16 to share three aerial photos of the Fantasmic! stadium still drained.

So why did Disney put effort into a new look when this nighttime experience at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is currently closed? Unfortunately, there is no word from Disney when Fantasmic! may debut once again. Rumors however are flurrying that this is a great sign the experience may reopen soon enough. The outdoor stadium can seat just under 7,000 guests. With social distancing obviously this number would be much lower… but there’s still enough room for it possibly reopen.
