I'm glad I only waited in line for 20 minutes for current Star Tours. My stomach said "never again"



The number 1 thing I want from this park is the ability to walk around inside a lifesize Millenium Falcon. I wanna go up the ramp, I wanna sit in the cockpit, I want to get my picture at the chessboard.

I don't know about that (maybe you'll meet Chewie in there)

but you're gonna get to fly the Falcon

I'd be incredibly surprised if it hits the 2019 target. Though it really needs to, unless they plan to start a fourth trilogy, 2019 is when the Sequels end.


But I hope so, January 2022 is the first time my wife and I will be taking our kids to Disney World. They'll be 4 years old and it'll have been 7 years since we last went.

So Star Tours 2.0. Fucking fantastic. I guess it'll be a one and done for me- Star Tours makes me feel sick.

I don't think so, I think if that's the ride vehicle, that's the "boat / dark ride" and it'll be a lot more practical thank you think vs a sim

 

[muteki]

Little bummed the land looks pretty Earth-like compared to the more out there Star Wars locales, but still pretty excited. Hopefully the interiors look good, Star Tours is pretty snazzy inside.

Dilapidated desert town is a little played out.

 

[Omegasquash]

Looks like I'll be going back to WDW in a few years.

 

[MiamiWesker]

Can't wait to see what they do with the secret content. They say depending on how deep you go there will be secret storylines where cast members will take you on adventures. That's going to be the best part.

Hopefully that kind of stuff will be for everyone and not just the younger crowd...I want an adult jedi training academy dammit!

The Theme parks don't need movie tie ins to stay popular. But I'm sure sooner or later a spin-off will take place on this new planet.

 

[grandjedi6]

How much of MGM are they tearing up to make this?

 

[Doctoglethorpe]

*Ahem*

What is this, a theme park for ants!?

Spoiler

come on guys should have been at least on the first page

Is it in MGM for sure?

 

[KeyBladerXIII]

Its taking over where that shitty studio tour and the car show used to be at the back of the park.

Nothing of value was lost.

 

[Guy.brush]

First order ride?

Wait. Why would you need an ASTRO mech droid for an interior transport tractor?
Thought those droids are essentially outhoused nav computers so ships can calculate and make the jump to hyperspace? Man, wish stuff would make more sense and not always just be based on visual familiarity.

 

[Whompa02]

I'm so fucking ready.

You sir are wrong! (Honey I shrunk the children play area was awesome as a 7 year old.

Some of this is Toy Story Land and backstage stuff:

They demolished the stunt show, backlot tour stuff, and streets of america.

Must have time traveled from 10+ years ago.

Oh thank god, that vehicle stunt show was soooooo bad. Well past its prime and cringe worthy.

Wait, what?! But that was next to Muppets 3D and they're not tearing that down. Ugh...

*Lando voice* "That wasn't part of the deal!"

So Hollywood Studios is basically going to become Star Wars World. They already have like a half-dozen Star Wars shows and attractions.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Seriously. I don't think "Disney-MGM Studios" has been used since at least 2008, if not earlier.

but it does thematically fit there!

how they operationally pull this off with a land that will be completely mobbed is what I'm most interested in seeing.

I was honestly hoping Tomorrowland would get rebuild, feels like that and Epcot are never going to get updated

 

[the_firewithin]

This would get me to go back to Disney for the first time in almost 20yrs but man it would be packed for who knows how long

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

They are going to be renaming Hollywood Studios and convert RocknRollercoaster to a Guardians of the Galaxy ride.

oh WDI is saving most of the bullets for the Saturday presentation, I think... if the rumor mill is correct, you should end up happy. Though seems like Tomorrowland is gonna get the love ahead of the World of Tomorrow.

Make more sense? I'm into all the lore and canon too brah. However the people they are attracting to this attraction don't care about that, they just want teh droidz. And I'm ok with that.
