News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

[britain]

I would actually really love a moment to watch the space battle if we could participate in that exact space battle on an X Wing coaster...

Well shucks, we used to be able to, but they walled up the windows:

Except for the alleged part where guests just watch the space battle through a view port instead of take part in it.

Think of this part as the pictures in the Haunted Mansion hallway between the Stretching Room and getting in the actual vehicles.

Once you are in the vehicles the ride is more like living in a Sequel Era variation on the escape back to the Falcon on the Death Star for Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie in the original film. Which is the right choice, because another space battle ride would be even more redundant to Star Tours and Falcon.

Perhaps I misread it because I was thinking this was a part of the ride itself. I’ll have to go back and reread it more carefully.

Edit: According to the article, "The ride vehicles travel through the halls of the Star Destroyer, pausing at times to let riders watch the battle unfold on large projection screens."

RotR seems to have a similar ride structure to Haunted Mansion.

Transport = Stretching Room
Docking Bay with Stormtroopers = Hallway

Then the ride.

I know everyone here is saying they need to have the sit down restaurant built in Galaxy's Edge, but I'd much rather see that space go towards an attraction. That's far more important to Star Wars land than another place to spend money. As soon as Rise of the Resistance opens, I want to hear an announcement that they're moving Star Tours over there.

I'm sure that there will be several times throughout the attraction where it will be evident that a battle is going on.

Like it is on Pirates of the Caribbean.

don't ever compare a star wars ride to my beautiful and perfect mansion ever again.

For what it's worth, Jim Hill just reported that Michelle Valladolid recently learned that the sit down restaurant has been green lit and is being fast tracked.

I’m pretty sure we’ll be doing more than just watching.

Would you mind directing me to said article/podcast? Thanks.

I think there is both space allotted for the full service restaurant and a third attraction.

Depending on ROTR, I think the third attraction needs to be better than MF:TR.

 

[britain]

Watch it now get cancelled because the restaurant greenlight was based on Reservation Period attendance, not general attendance...

If only there was some gentle kinetic attraction moving young people around the land, on some beasts of some sort.

Live elephants dressed as Banthas roaming the land? I’m down.

Or some sort of cargo transit system? Or just a gentle ride in general... how about a b or c ticket dark ride that just takes you through some sort of “restricted access area” - or a special effects show where a full AA Of Yoda demonstrates the force....

One of the best third attraction ideas I've read on here was to create a Podracing version of Radiator Springs Racers. I'm not sure DL has the land for it, but DHS might be able to pull it off if they expanded into the parking lot.

I'm having trouble justifying some sort of family friendly dark ride within GE's level of immersion. Pandora already has a water ride through an alien forest, no need to have another one. They could do a riff on the droid factory conveyor belt from Attack of the Clones!

 

[captveg]

I suspect the eventual 3rd ride will be further backstage, and will likely be a coaster-type ride. Maybe they'll even appease the X-Wing coaster die hards. (An indoor coaster that ends in the "trench run" where you blow up the Death Star (picture moment!) would be pretty sweet.)

One thing the land could use when RotR opens is an interactive event/show in the Resistance side of the land where guests help some heroes fight off New Order incursion into that side of Batuu. A new variation on Jedi Academy, if you will.
