As I mentioned though, the stuff looks exactly like the type of trinkets you'd find at a trading post/flea market at international tourist spots.Hand crafted in China more like it
Interesting, the blue one kinda looks like a slushee? Not what I was expecting.
How else would you go about copying the theme park phenomenon known as a frozen butter beer.
It seems like Disney's answer has always been some sort of slushie type drink (LaFou's Brew - FLE, Night Blossom - Pandora) and it never really catches on because the difference is, Butterbeer is canon and these other things aren't.How else would you go about copying the theme park phenomenon known as a frozen butter beer.
Blue Strawberry. Mark my words. Everyone likes strawberry. It shall be done.
This may literally destroy people trying to figure out what the flavor is.Why not blow 90% of Americans minds and make it blackcurrant?
Nope.Blue Strawberry. Mark my words. Everyone likes strawberry. It shall be done.
How 'bout the rocketfuel/epoxy mix McDonald's used to use as their "Shake"? No milk needed.Part of the reason why Butrerbeer works is because they’ve tried to stay as broad as possible for those who can drink it. Blue Milk is.... milk. I’m lactose intolerant and I know many others who are too. I just can’t see it containing dairy.

You can make a milkshake with Almond Milk, and it will taste just as good with the right ingredients added.Part of the reason why Butrerbeer works is because they’ve tried to stay as broad as possible for those who can drink it.

Well since there won't be any animatronics on the Falcon ride... Garner Holt was not involved there (other than possibly the queue?). Only Battle Escape will.
I think you’d be hard pressed to say Potter is a better fit as a whole. Potter works best in its atmosphere and theming; Diagon Alley and Hogsmeade are fun places to explore; their mimicry of real villages and cities with a magical twist is a great strength that gives them a leg up when it comes to designing a land based on the property. As the story unfolds around Harry’s exploration of the Wizarding world, so too can the guest explore and uncover the details of the world around them.Butter beer works because its freaking good!
another example of how HP is a better fit for a theme park than star wars

of course both are good choices and all your points are valid but in theme park design and adaptability to me HP is better because of the centralized locations. Hogsmeade and DA are key places easily adaptable to to theme park where as SWGE is a place no one s ever heard of before. Also food and bev fits better within the HP story, not that SWGE wont have nice food placesI think you’d be hard pressed to say Potter is a better fit as a whole.

Star Wars, on the other hand, is tailor made for attractions. The vast array of vehicles, ride-sized sets (an important feature for a property when working within the space limitations of a theme park) mixed with the built in ability to literally jump across a galaxy in a single attraction allows for more dynamic experiences than Potter in the sense that any person could name about ten ride concepts for Star Wars without even having to think about it.
This isn’t a knock against Potter, nor is Batuu’s general obscurity in the canon a problem. But, simply put, Potter is more difficult to translate to rides, while Star Wars is more difficult to recreate for a single land due to the fact that no film in the franchise visits less than two planets, and a solid third (if not more) of the franchise takes place aboard star cruisers in deep space.
Both benefit from the presence of strong music, characters, and spectacle, which is what makes up for the shortcomings of their franchises when it comes to park implementation. The magic benches idea for Forbidden Journey is dumb, but we get to fly with Harry and co. No one will ever get as worked up over as Batuu as Diagon Alley unless they’re actually getting worked up over being in Star Wars Land. That part sounds weird, but I get excited on Star Tours because it’s a great Star Wars attraction, whereas I get excited on Gringotts because I’m in Gringotts.
TL;DR
Both lands are good choices for a theme park because Potter lends itself well to great environments and Star Wars lends itself well to rides.

thats the whole pointSWGE was a choice made by Disney, not the only choice that can be made. They could have made quite a few different areas based off planets in the movies. Basing your argument on the way Disney went with it isn't really being fair to the series, as, IMO, Disney made a poor choice.
