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

[Viator]

just look at it its terrible and a lot of people are complaing about the dca tower.

Keep in mind, that; is not the Hollywood Studios version but it's the DCA version.

Have I forgotten to say it's somewhat off-topic?

Back to SWL, to pose a thought, as unless if they speed up really quick in the next few months to be on schedule for 2019, I have to believe that they'll have to bump it to a late 2019/early 2020 window. Perhaps it is just me, but I just can't see them being ready by the same time that Disneyland will be at.

They are at least 6-8 months behind if you look at photos of Disneyland construction.

It's an early April Fools, says so at the bottom of the article (at least I am sure it did)

If I'm not mistaken, it was rumored in the past. But, it died down after a period of time.

It is an April Fools joke, I'll give them that.

Apparently there's a bit of renewed chatter going around that both coasts' lands may end up opening very close to the same time after all, with the reasoning being that once Disneyland's major infrastructure is in place, the pace at that resort's site will deliberately slow down considerably as they dive into the theme and detail stuff and work all the kinks out of the rides. During that time, Hollywood Studios' version would eventually catch up.

We'll see if anything even close to that ends up transpiring, but I'm all-in for a dual resort Grand Opening Extravaganza.

This sums up the difference between Disney and Universal when it comes to construction. Universal would speed up HS instead of slowing down DL.

Disney may want to clear up so rumours that are starting to hit the mainstream

That was talking on the April Fools post from Micechat from March 31st.

That rumor has been around since February at least on Magic...

The old rumor about this was that they would block APs from visiting not charge everyone $95 extra.

And, Micechat used it as a way to do an April Fools joke on Star Wars Land. We talked about it a few day's ago, and that I even mentioned that it was an actual rumor from the past that then died out slowly.

Here's a good aerial of the Falcon ride out in Disneyland. Give it 6 months or so and we'll get to roughly this point

So, what the heck is this thing? Cause it's starting to look like it might actually be 4-person ride vehicles attached to kuka arms on ride vehicles going in a circle the entire time while facing a screen? Like one section of Forbidden Journey's that's a screen portion and that's it? Will it loop through the track several times like the old airship scene in Figment to make it longer, or go slow enough to make it around once per show?

Times two tracks for capacity?

Is the only way we get to actually fly the MF ourselves is to do a ride that's like the ending to Horizons, with our own screen, while in a Sum of All Thrills ride on a track going in a circle? I mean, it does make sense. But, man, that'd be weird, no?

I believe one slow loop. 2 carousels for capacity.

OMG, are you saying everything else I said is true? What a weird way to do a ride.

 

[Alicia]

I believe one slow loop. 2 carousels for capacity.

And I was thinking about it, those loops are very very big, given the size of that building, so it could definitely be a long enough loop for one whole ride.

I don't know how to feel about this.

So Star Wars land will feature two signature attractions, one like Spider-Man (but with trackless ride vehicles like Antartica,) and one like the screen portions of Forbidden Journey? Is that right?

I do realize they were originally working with Kuka to produce a ride similar to this for Harry Potter before JK and WB took the deal to Universal. And I realize Disney Paris has had the Rat ride with a trackless ride system and screens that feels like Spider-Man already... but can't help think these attractions will endlessly be compared to Universal once they open. And once again Disney will look reactionary instead of revolutionary.

(Sorry, not usually my style to be the negative one on the forums, but the more I hear about these ride systems, the more concerned I get for SWL and meeting guest expectations.)
