Just concept art, sadly.

A friend of mine was told today that this version will be getting an extra scene, albeit not a very large one. Is there any truth to this, or is it definitely a 1:1 copy?

It’s like the Cantina; you know they’re gonna be yanking money from your wallet, but the experience is too enticing to pass up. That said, I would be disappointed if a phase 2 only consisted of a restaurant.

The variants are still in place, but the program locks into whichever timeline the first scene falls into, so if you get the sequel trilogy for the opening, you’ll get it the whole way through. I agree with you, though; Star Tours should become the home for the prequels and original trilogy for...

Yeah, Rise of Skywalker’s events, success, failure, etc, will have no real effect on the land’s goings on when it all comes down to it. The Evil Queen’s been dead for more than half a century, but she still manages to pop up at the end of the Mine Train every day. Even Star Tours features Vader...

I think the visual style will actually work to the ride’s advantage; it’s such a distinct departure from the real world that if they pull it off it will be very cool, and the sheer wackiness of the cartoons lends itself well to a hyper-stylized and chaotic dark ride a la Mr. Toad. The other...

Hagrid's has very little margin for holdups due to the sheer amount of elements that are basically on top of each other, so if you have a train stall at any of them for whatever reason, there are literally only seconds to hope that it sorts itself out before every train behind it has to be...

If I had to guess, table service restaurant next to the Cantina and a version of the stunt show from last night. It would give them an extra revenue generator and address the lack of energy on that side of the land, as well as bring some finality to the First Order show that happens by the TIE...

Yep. Baffling that they’re not going with a rodeo (or even remotely western) play set for the Roundup Rodeo restaurant.

You’re absolutely right in that people shouldn’t blindly defend something that they themselves don’t like, but I don’t feel that Batuu *is* a creative disaster, or that MFSR is a huge disappointment. We (me and my friends who went with me) really enjoyed it. Should they have opened the land...

I think it would feel better if we got to ‘see’ who the voices belong to at some point in the queue. There’s that fogged up window in the engine room that feels like it should have a silhouette of at least one of them working a la the toy shop outside.

To be fair, though, the ride had excellent capacity, so it having a line at all was a sign that it was getting good ridership. I think the problem was more the GSATS than the throughput, and they thought they were killing two birds with one stone at the time.

The logic isn’t idiotic just because you don’t like it, and is consistent with their approach to Pandora, most of Animal Kingdom, and with how the Star Wars films themselves are scored. The rides are cinematic experiences, so they have cinematic soundtracks. The land is an atmospheric...

*complains about not having enough Star Wars-y music in the land* *also complains about how it makes no sense to hear Star Wars-y Music on the rides*

I believe that JttCotE actually takes you *up* to the loading platform, which for some reason makes the illusion of going down twice as cool to me.

So if the FAA were to turn around and say “okay, you’re good”, would Disney start doing a nightly fly by of these things? I wouldn’t imagine they would even ask the FAA about it if that wasn’t their end goal, right?

Except they’re not, because they’re Equity actors (in WDW).

So from that, it looks like Paris is getting Dok Ondar’s, the Cantina, the dinner theatre, and Rise of the Resistance, unless those are meant to be placeholders for other buildings.

Yes, but to be fair, Diagon has 5 non-upcharge attractions/shows: Gringotts, Tales of Beedle the Bard, Celestina Warbeck, Ollivander’s, and Hogwarts Express, so the ratio is more like 2 to 1.

I mean, sure, but wouldn’t one expect to be able to find a droid in the droid shop? Them selling R2 replicas didn’t change the experience of getting to meet R2D2 for us or anyone around us. That’s not to say I don’t see where you’re coming from, but for all practical purposes, you *can* meet...
