Wow. That is a very helpful comparison and figure to use.

Judging by the aerial shots of Star Wars Land construction, the Alcatraz building is roughly three times the size of the Indy warehouse. So it seems the 165,000 square foot figure is simply the building footprint itself. But the Alcatraz building is much taller than the Indy building, and clearly has at least two levels of 25+ foot tall ride rooms to fill. It dwarfs Indy and Pirates both. In fact, it would seem you could fit both Indiana Jones and Pirates of the Caribbean inside the Alcatraz building at the same time.

This Alcatraz ride is going to be massive and on a scale we've never seen before. I don't think us Disneyland fans quite realize what we have here yet.
It feels old school Epcot in size.

Any tips on how I can keep my excitement contained until I can ride it in three years or so?

That's coming close to 4 acres and much larger than drawings make it out to be. For comparison, Shanghai PotC is only 2 acres. So, I'm guessing that the square footage is for two floors and the footprint is half it's size which puts it the same size as SPotC and the combined FoP/NRJ building.

I wonder if they are going to replace the beautiful fencing around the hotel property along Disneyland drive. Right now the hotel has a fencing with nice stone pillars. Could they be considering making it taller to include the hotel property within the safe zone?

The permit has been slightly revised:

It's a bit funny that fall protection is being added to a room best known for a hanged corpse crashing down

It's funny that safety equipment for a an attraction that has been in operation for 50 years is added.
Seems like everything needs to be child proof now for adults. ;-)

Is it closing?

The elongating stretching rooms are immediately surrounded by the building. If you open the doors or windows on the extended queue side, you'll see the back side of stretching room. Hopefully this doesn't cause horrid Club 33 style facade alterations... I'm worried now.
