Creator's Key Takeaways
I love this. How many times have fans pitched this idea if there was a Saurin that went just across America?
I'm very excited about it. Um, Saurin Around the World is my least favorite Saurin I've ever seen.
This is obviously very sad, an icon of the park since opening day. Um, sad to see it go, but we are getting something really cool in that place.
I will not relent. The iconic arch that used to stand at the entrance to the animation courtyard at Disney's Hollywood Studios is officially no more.
