DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[britain]

This is what I’m thinking ...... it’s higher capacity and continuously moving ( well...sort of. Continuously showing is a better term.)

I gotta wonder, did the germ of this idea start when Disneyland's Tomorrowland was going to be given a Star Wars makeover, and were the imagineers thinking of ways to leverage the carousel theater?

There's a great big beautiful tomorrow way to get to a star destroyer?

Or, if I may: Reaching out friendly hands, we meet the world star destroyer with love?

Take note of how many trees they've already planted along the berm.

There’s still a lot of work to do yet.

Some buildings haven’t even begin to be built yet.

I think I saw an Ewok on the WDWRR today (here early for a tour)

I noticed this too, in this photo too you can really get a sense of how massive this place is and will feel.

just look at the scale based on the pick-up truck near the entrance tunnel top left. Even the tunnel to enter will be big. I don't think we are really going to have to worry about sight lines much at all.

Add in trees, walls, trash cans, and thousands of people; and its going to feel like you are trapped in a death star trash compactor.

Sweet! I’ve been wanting to get trapped in a Death Star trash compactor since 1977! Release the dianoga!

Photo update as of Monday, January 22, 2018. Within the last two weeks, a forest of trees has been planted along the top of the berm between Toy Story Land and Star Wars Land. Photos below taken from the end of Pixar Place.

A view looking behind the building of Toy Story Mania.

Based on the progress at DHS and comparing it to the progress in DL it looks like the FL entrance (entrance #3 in red circle) will be the missing entrance for DHS has anyone else been able to come to the same conclusion? Here are the aerials from each coast and the model for comparison. I'm Curious if the building marked C (in the yellow circle) will be different in the DHS version since it appears it will not serve as an entrance to the area.

Images are not my own, If that is an issue let me know.

Very interesting summary there, thank you for compiling it! I had been seeing the same types of differences in the various aerial photos. It appears there are going to be some not insignificant differences in both land use and buildings between the coasts, aside from the third entry portal at Disneyland.

I think it’s most telling they chose the Disneyland version to display at D23 Expo.

The D23 Expo that took place across the street from Disneyland? You would have expected them to display the model from the second park that is opening second and is 3,000 miles away?

Paging @marni1971, please finally state that other than the entrances there really won’t be any major differences between coasts. I’m getting tired of repeating myself.

Entrances and queue layout. Especially of Alcatraz.

The first part of the queue will be the same but different. You’ll see
