Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge (Disney's Hollywood Studios)

[Disneyhead]

So an area of a DISNEY park aimed at small kids "won't" be a draw for most people? How much crack are you smoking, and can I have some? You've had too much.

How many are going to plan a trip from Someplace, Upnorth for TSL?

How many are going to plan a trip from Someplace, Upnorth for TSL?

It's not about planning a trip. How many planned a trip for Springfield, which is nothing more than the addition of themed quick service, a few bars and a spinner?

It's about adding experiences for everyone. This will help DHS reach that goal as right now the attraction lineup is a bit lopsided.

We got some new footage of the additional ride segments for Star Tours 2.0.

Does anyone feel that Disney will expand Star Wars Land eventually ala Diagon Alley @ Universal? I definitely think that they will......another E-ticket. Also, will be interesting to see if they build a Star Wars themed hotel next to the Studios. Wouldn't that be something!

 

[rhino4evr]

enough hotels already.

enough hotels already.

Are you telling me this wouldn't make a marvellous lobby?

 

[rhino4evr]

If they build a death star hotel, maybe I'd visit the command deck for drinks.

I'd really like to see Disney consolidate some of their rides to one park. Remove Buzz Lightyear and Monsters Inc from Tomorrow Land and move it to DHS with the rest of the Pixar rides for example.

If they did connect the parks like Universal, Star Wars would make the perfect IP for it but I think the parks are far too far apart for something like that.

 

[deathcab4cutie]

well star wars is one of those ip,s that somehow fit into all Disney parks and it would be nice if Disney now only connected all parks with monorails but themed them to sw aswell and dont forget there is already a rail from magic to epcot. from epcot hs is i wanna say less then 10miles away so really it would just be animal kingdom that would be kinda hard

if some of the rumors are true disney will be moving laugh floor to hs as part of the expansion again just a rumor at this point

 

[Parkscope Joe]

My understanding is Star Wars is only for DHS/Disneyland. Other parks have expressed interest in Star Wars but that's mostly a last minute grab for cash. But do we want Star Wars in all the parks? I don't.

I'm so excited/happy with Disney. IMO, Disney is the best when it comes to themeing and creating a vibe within its environments. Thanks to Universal for taking on Harry Potter stuff but I feel like Disney wants to take back their crown. And I feel like they are going to do this with Pandora, Starwars, and Toystory. Disney does it better than anyone, the problem is that they haven't been doing it enough in Florida.

Does anybody know what kinda ride systems will be used for the two rides? I've heard they are using a clone of the Avatar simulator system and a version of the Spiderman vehicles.

for star wars land?Ive only heard one more e ticket being built for sw land and maybe a flat spinner and the only thing Ive heard about the e ticket is you will be able to pilot your own mil falcon so it might be some sorta shooting gallery type of ride maybe a buzzlightyear 10.0 thing

 

[Nick]

A spiderman-esque ride system is rumored... which shouldn't really surprise many seeing as Scott Trowbridge is the lead on this project and he worked on Spidey.

 

[Disneyhead]

Imagine Spider-man but with AAs and practical effects instead of screens.

Stormtrooper AAs, lots of lasers and sparks, and a lot of that pew-pew shooting sound. Throw in a custom John Williams soundtrack and boom. Star Wars ride.

 

[UNIrd]

Both new attractions will be mostly screen-based, making it the third screen-based Star Wars attraction in the park. Cue the meltdowns. :ears:

So this would be the Resistance/First Order battle ride. Any idea what they Falcon ride would be like?

At the rate Disney moves, there's a good chance John Williams will have kicked the bucket by the time they get this place up and running. Even if not, if this is supposed to open around the same time that Episode IX is released, he might be too busy with that to compose for Star Wars Land.
