DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Read again. The rotation should not be perceptible it will be that slow.

Will it be Forbidden Journey speed or more like The Haunted Mansion? Also do you know if Falcon will stop or will it always be moving during the ride.

Fobidden Journey and Haunted Mansion move about the same speed along the track from what I can tell.

If the inertial dampners were functioning properly all of this space stuff would be rather smooth... just saying..

In space sure. But I'm sure you won't just be smoothly cruising around Tatooine or Jakku. Whichever one was in the ride footage.

I think it's like .4 mph under, so that was a pretty dumb question of mine

Inertia is inerta. But a smooth ride might not be quite so interesting

Which is my point. I'm hoping for star tours level of movements.

So sad to hear this for several reasons...

1 - Would have been a great way to see what should be a wonderfully themed land...FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY to enjoy.

Define 'entire family'.

I wasn't aware that once my kids, what, didn't need a stroller? Were tall enough to ride anything? We suddenly weren't a family?

What's your beef here? Yes, I'm a bit confused.

Yeah, I figured. I'm just yaking

I wonder if Disney will approach John Williams to write music for this SWL? I think it would be wonderful to hear unique music for this unique universe. Williams is in his 80's and won't be around forever. I kniw it would bring a smile to my face hearing his music played at the parks. You would be able to tell your kids, Grandkids and Great-grand kids that JW was the man would help bring this great franchise alive.

Have you noticed in the Soarin queue loop there is a piece or two by JW.

I didn't know that. thank you for telling. I'm sure I'll know the music a few bars into it.

Hi @Rich T! Wait, so Star Wars takes place in the past? Like, I can't believe I did not know that!! Thanks so much for telling me. That is funny! LOL.

It's the first line of each movie: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." Just before the crawl starts.

I'm still not clear how the loading/unloading process will work exactly. I think it may work like FJ's disability load/unload with the RV's entering the next open spot in the carousel - "One Little Spark" indeed. .

Mea culpa re: how loading/unloading works. I asked for some clarity on what I saw initially and there is no switch track for the RVs. Any delays in timing should be offset with the animation looping.

For what it's worth, I struggled with understanding how Uni was going to get the Hogwarts Express to work with an semblance of capacity until I actually saw it in action... and that was even after reviewing blueprints. First rule of design in theme parks... Keep It Simple, Stupid. As a practical example of Stupid... let me reference MM+.

Thanks! Very interesting... So a real, proper omnimover loop. And if loading takes longer for some people rather than others, it won't disrupt an action packed part of the ride. It can simply buffer a little animation loop a longer before your seat belts release and you disembark. Or any non intrusive place they pick.

I'm still worried about the illusion being broken when it's time to step onto the moving platform (either stepping onto the cockpit or onto a hallway that goes to the cockpit). Even if it's amazingly slow, lawyers are going to dictate a nice yellow stripe telling you that you're stepping onto a moving surface.

Hoping for the best, guys! Good luck!

I envisage it being stationary for load and unload. Much like a Ferris wheel loads and unloads.

Once the load doors open or the cabin doors close you shouldn't be aware of the circular motion.

Ah-HA! Of course! Silly me.

The light bulb just went off for me. I get it now. Yes, that's an interesting approach that could allow a seamless transition from Falcon corridor to Falcon cockpit, while providing for a ride experience that is as long as need be (or, let's face it, as long as budget allows). Neat.

I wonder how many corridors will be created to allow maximum loading.

 

[marni1971]

One cabin will load at a time, as the one behind simultaniously unloads.

Appreciate all the SWL you are giving us. It will be interesting to see how this land comes together.
