We recently reported that rumors are swirling about changes coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and now it looks like a few more of our favorites might be in jeopardy of disappearing!

WDW News Today is reporting new rumors about the demolition of the Echo Lake area as soon as March 2015! According to WDW News Today this would include the actual lake, Gertie the Dinosaur and Min & Bill’s Dockside Diner, all of which have been a part of Disney’s Hollywood Studios since opening day when the park was known as Disney- MGM Studios. There have also been reports that Muppet Vision 3D could be on the chopping block along with ABC Sound Studios and SuperStar Television Theater.

As we’ve reported before all of these possible changes are coming to make way for the rumored Star Wars Land. We know Bob Iger has said there will be a larger “Star Wars” presence at the Disney Parks around the World, but as of now, everything is speculation.

What are your thoughts on the attractions that are on the possible chopping block or on Star Wars Land(s) coming to the Disney Parks?
