Sounds Dangerous finally going away?
My sources tell me that something is actually starting to happen at DHS with the space formerly known as Sounds Dangerous.
Guests looking for a laugh will get their wish Dec. 25 – 31 with The Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The 22-minute show will be performed in the ABC Sound Studio, which is located between The American Idol Experience and Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. The improv performers will take holiday classics (songs, poems, stories and movie scenarios) and, with suggestions from the audience, reinvent them for a family-friendly show.
The performers include alumni from the Comedy Warehouse at Pleasure Island.
DHS cast is being told NOT to refer to the location as "Sounds Dangerous", but instead use the title "ABC Sound Studio". They are also being told that the guide maps will continue to show "Sounds Dangerous" as temporarily closed, but "Sounds Dangerous" will officially be removed when the new maps are re-done for Star Wars Weekend.
So it appears that Disney is finally going to do away with SD and do something else with the space. IMHO, Even a show that only lasts a week is movement in the right direction.

Sounds Dangerous is gone. It's being used for the Jedi sign-up and a couple of my DHS CM friends have said it's definitely gone. The Comedy Warehouse is a trial run. No decision has been made on it. The brass want to see how guests react to it. If it's a success then it may become permanent, but that's far from settled.

You know, last November (2010) when we were at DHS I was shocked to actually see Sounds Dangerous open. We went in, just to see if it was as bad as I remembered it. It was. Actually, it was probably worse. The place was dirty and falling apart and a lot of the headsets didn't work (a fact that I gleaned from the very loud protests behind me). All in all after I was done I wanted them to bulldoze the place and salt the earth where it stood. It seems like they might have come up with a slightly better solution....

Park bench, water fountian, something besides empty space. I find it hard to fill a day at DHS. Unless of course I am standing in a long line for TSM or TOT. I find DHS very boring now. Not enough to see or do. It used to be AK but DHS is now my last park to visit and after TOT and TSM Im out.

Glad to see they are doing something with the space and moving forward. I was never a fan of Sounds Dangerous but loved the old Monster Sound Show. IMHO the Studios is a park that totally lost it's identity when the stopped doing production work there and has become a shell of it's former self. Don't get me wrong it still has some great attractions but really needs work.

I'm pretty sure Drew Carey liked it too and maybe his mother
The main problem I had with the show was the only thing it really focused on was binaural audio. Most of the show was in the dark and you could experience a better use of the technology in the Soundstations in the post show area and that was there since 1989 when the park opened! The show was outdated before it opened. It was basically just a cheaper substitute for the Monster Sound Show since they didn't need to staff or maintain the Foley stage which was removed.

Me either... but who knows??? This is TDO after all, they will probably just make it either a pin station or a DVC sales booth...

I certainly hope that the rumours are true. Went to Sounds Dangerous once, and never returned. Hopefully, WDW mgt. can find something entertaining to replace it. Like others have posted, there just isn't enough to do in DHS to fill a day.
I really want to see some more investment into this park, I love the 'old' Hollywood feel of it and hope that improvements are being planned.

This thread is making me laugh- lots of strong feelings on this show. We never saw it because I heard it was so bad. Could someone describe it for those of us who never had the "pleasure" of attending?
Trips: Too Many to Count! Last Trips: April 2013 CSR; July 2013 Aloha Aulani, The Sequel, Hawaii. Multiple trips to WDW, DL, DCL!
Coming up: September 2013 "Scary September" at Disneyland/DCA/Universal Hollywood.
