NEW: Walt Disney World announces the Epic Jr. Stunt Spectacular! play area will open in the coming months at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Disney describes it as an outdoor play area inspired by the spirit of the stunt show, with interactive elements and themed play structures meant to let kids “embrace their inner explorer.” Disney has not released an opening date, a size or an age range.
The Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular, the show the new playground is themed after.
It Is Project Fedora
Disney did not use the name, but Epic Jr. is what Project Fedora turned out to be. The location matches the fenced-off plot between the stunt show’s exit and Backlot Express, where work has been going on since March. Filings under the Project Fedora name for that address, 253 Cypress Drive, turned up in May, and a large tree outside the show’s exit came down in July to make room for the work.
That lines up with what construction has shown. When we last checked in on the site, a steel pipe frame had gone up on concrete pads, and the rolling planter wall that has screened the area was still up. Guests walking past have seen very little of it so far, so the concept art is the clearest look yet at what the finished space is meant to be.
What It Means For Families
Hollywood Studios already has one playground. Drawn to Wonderland, inside The Magic of Disney Animation, is an indoor Alice in Wonderland play space inspired by Mary Blair’s concept art, with a Mad Hatter tea party table and a Queen of Hearts rose garden. It also has a section built for the littlest kids and seating where parents can sit nearby. Epic Jr. gives the park an outdoor option, right beside the stunt show it is themed after.
The announcement came as part of a Disney Parks Blog rundown of playgrounds across Walt Disney World. For now, “in the coming months” is the only timing Disney is giving.
Animal Kingdom Is Getting One Too
The same post confirms that Disney’s Animal Kingdom will get its own themed play area as part of Tropical Americas, woven into the village of Pueblo Esperanza. Disney said opening timeframes and other details will be shared later. Construction on the village has been moving along, and our latest look at Tropical Americas shows the restaurant, shops and play area taking shape.
