Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure, Interactive playground at Disney's Hollywood Studios, Florida
Honey, I Shrunk the Kids: Movie Set Adventure was a playground in the Streets of America area of Disney's Hollywood Studios, themed as the giant backyard set of the 1989 film. It held 30-foot-tall (9.1 m) blades of grass, 40-foot-tall (12 m) bumblebees, large ants and explorable anthills, a spider web maze with climbing ropes, jumbo plant-root mazes, and a slide shaped like a Kodak film canister.
The playground opened a year and a half after the 1989 film, in the Streets of America area of Disney's Hollywood Studios. On January 15, 2016, Disney announced its permanent closure along with the Streets of America section and Lights, Motors, Action!: Extreme Stunt Show. All three operated for the last time on April 2, 2016, and were demolished to clear the site for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
The playground was themed as a movie set for the giant backyard scenes of the 1989 film, and its props included areas never shown on screen. Children could roam past large ants, explorable anthills, a spider-web maze with climbing ropes, a slide shaped like a Kodak film canister, and a giant dog nose that sprayed mist.
The play surface was made of the same soft material used at the Boneyard Playground in DinoLand USA at Disney's Animal Kingdom. A 52-foot leaking water hose sprayed visitors, and the giant dog nose released mist. The playground stood in the Streets of America area, next to the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show.
The playground's soft play surface used the same material as the Boneyard Playground in DinoLand USA at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Among the props were a slide shaped like a Kodak film canister, giant pieces of Cheerios, an Oatmeal Creme Pie and a Play-Doh can, plus areas the film never showed.
