<P> In 2003, Residential Street was walled off from the tour and demolished . The land was used for The Lights, Motors, Action Stunt Show . The addition of the stunt show caused the Backlot Tour to be re-routed to go around the large stadium . Small portions of the former residential street were turned into areas for the tour's relocated and downsized boneyard and for the tram roadways . The addition of the stunt show also caused NY Street to lose its arch, as the area was needed for the tour tram to turn around to arrive at the exit station . Overall, the tram portion of the tour was obviously greatly reduced due to the new stunt show . </P> <P> In 2008, Imagineering announced to cast members that an automated narration spiel was in development to replace all the live tour guides on the shuttles portion of the tour . The Special Effects Water Tank continued to have a live cast until the attraction closed due to volunteer guests . The entire attraction went down for two months' refurbishment on January 4, 2009 . The ride briefly closed down in February 2010, along with the adjacent Studio Catering Company and Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure . It was the final refurbishment before the attraction closed . </P> <P> On September 20, 2014 it was announced to cast members that the ride would temporarily close on September 27, 2014 for the orchestral facility . On September 28, the marquee and the sign that were at the entrance were removed and painted over . At the time of the attraction's closing, there was no word as to what would replace it . However, it was later annonouced at the D23 Expo 2015 that the land taking up the Backlot Tour, as well as the majority of the Streets of America area would make room for Star Wars and Toy Story - themed lands . Construction began in mid-2016 . </P> <P> Upon entering the queue, guests were put into four different lines underneath a large canopy . Throughout the area were props from different movies, including Pearl Harbor, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, and The Rock . A film also looped with director Michael Bay telling guests how some of the special effects scenes from Pearl Harbor were filmed . While guests were waiting, four volunteers were chosen to be used in the first part of the attraction . </P>
