Construction permit filed for Roundup Rodeo BBQ at Hollywood Studios
The day before Disney’s Hollywood Studios is scheduled to open on July 15 a new construction permit was filed for Roundup Rodeo BBQ in Toy Story Land.
Construction on this new table-service restaurant is located in the area just right of the large Woody as you enter Toy Story Land. Construction ceased when the park was closed in March. The new permit, filed today, stated that the work is “Support Struction Installation.”
The story behind the restaurant is: “Using three cardboard boxes cut and taped together, Andy has created a new rodeo arena using some of his favorite toys, games, and play sets. And while some pieces are definitely western-themed, what makes this rodeo special is the broad assortment of toys that have been brought together to create a fun, colorful mashup-atmosphere that only a child could create.
“Once inside, you’ll be surrounded by all of the rodeo festivities in-action as well as western town and train station play sets. And you just might spot some of your favorite Disney•Pixar characters scattered throughout the restaurant in the form of toys and game pieces including a toy version of Jessie riding on the back of a Trixie pull-toy and unique toy versions of Bo Peep and her sheep, all who appear to be performing in the rodeo together.”
The restaurant was scheduled to open in 2020, but it is unknown when the project will be complete.
