News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser to permanently close this fall

[Disstevefan1]

I’m not disputing that.
But it’s not from upfront charges and dues which is often accredited

For whatever reason, TWDCDVC and would rather pour money into that instead of adding attractions

One brings in customers with subsidized construction and not a lot of labor

The other costs money and requires a lot of labor forever

…just off the top of my head

Stop being logical. I want more attractions.

Heard it's where they are going to store the PTN floats

“…so say we all!”

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Disney wrote off the whole building for tax purposes, right? And the way a tax write-off works is you're claiming immediate depreciation to $0 in the value of what you're writing off. If you turn around and then derive "value" from that thing again even after modifications, don't you have to undo your original tax write-off?

You’d think?

But Wall Street has written the laws in this country for so long…who the hell knows?

There are people here who will try to tell you that it was paid for by “all that money” coming from Disney+
And if you believe that - I got some magic beans to sell you

How far is this away from DHS? Could they use this space along with some of the dead space in GE to make a SW land we actually wanted themed to the original trilogy? They could sort of do a Hogwarts express type of thing.

Its over the river and through the woods from HS. There is an access road that has to be maintained and a canal to cross between them

I think the walking distance from the SWGE gate to the SWGS gate is longer than it takes to get from the furthest bus stop at DHS to the entrance. It's not really far but you can't remotely build the park around it.

 

[JD80]

Straight line distance is about the same as from the front gate to Rise.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Winding path from DHS Skyliner to SWL, thru it to the Starcruiser is 0.8 miles.

Path from EPCOT bus to American Adventure: 1 mile.

Yeah, I don't think the distance itself is a problem.

The real issue is that there's nothing between them. You'd be looking at parking and backstage and an unthemed warehouse building (the former Starcruiser) with no bathrooms, snacks, etc. on the way. They'd have to spend a lot of additional money on filling that in with theming etc.

It's basically the same problem with having a walking path to Rafiki's at DAK, although that one is longer and has less of a theme problem since it's mostly woods. Still lacking in bathrooms etc. though.

Well, once you get to the starcruiser, you'll have your choice of over 100 bathrooms!!

Can someone do a pie chart or something that shows how often awning filings turn into anything fun?

It'd just be a circle with the word "no"

You guys know smoking isn’t really a “thing” anymore, right?

I guess you've never stood near the wishing well at magic kingdom. Or outside the back door of connections cafe at epcot

It still isn’t a thing to set aside new areas for
