That's how it was so seamlessly added to the FLE plans in summer 2010 --- it was already fully designed for Shanghai, so development and engineering costs were $0.

you sure about that? :)

The Shanghai version of the mine train dictated the design and length. Ever wonder why the seats are so small? :cool:

lol Stan Lee

Almost looks like that is the entrance to the third track. Similar to the way the track leads into the show building in DCA.

Because this was during the movies presentation. Parks presentation comes later;)

I'd like to see that as the Millennium Falcon ride and the battle ride be the dueling Xwing/TIE fighter coaster from the plans that were posted here years ago.

I'm intrigued by all of the shops and restaurants being run by locals. It will be neat to see whether this is just normal CM costumes or plussed versions.

Well I guess if they don't announce anything new during the Parks presentation, they won't be technically wrong :cool:

It would be nice to see how much 14 acres really covers

lol everyone gets excited for the Parks presentation and Iger drops Star Wars Land in movie presentation :joyfull:

A good portion of WDI's current business model is based on project-hires. A lot of these Imagineers eat, sleep, and breathe their project as it is all they know at WDI. Once the project is complete, their employment is possibly up, so they get excited to show off their work and treat it almost...

yep, moved far away from the parks and got caught up in the real world

After some looking around, looks like this thread has some of the best updates. :cool:

Noticed the drink prices are much lower than they were before and they don't have the souvenir mugs. Anyone know the sizes? (haven't been to F&W since 2012, so I don't know if this was a change last year)

Was able to visit Trader Sam's out in DLR a few weeks ago and it was great to see some of the props. At least some parts still live on...

I think you missed the point I was trying to make with the computer models. It's has nothing to do with newer technology today versus what was available in the 50s, 70s, and 80s; it was just a point made on scheduling and only completing work to that schedule. For instance, if today was 6/1/11...

^This. In the real world, projects are rarely completed at fastest possible speeds. Projects are typically completed on a particular schedule that dictates the speed of the construction. Budgets (and year over year budgets), development (ride had to be fully designed for Shanghai first), and...

What budgets for FLE were cut? FLE today has more (7DMT) than what was originally planned and announced. It was originally supposed to have the crappy little cottages, but got another ride instead. Also, how is it lack luster? There was no intention to ever build a zillion E-ticket rides...

Well based on recent experience, we can have public announcements and even blueprints in hand of crappy plan A, but still end up with better plan B. -Hyperion Wharf ---> Disney Springs built -Princess cottages in FLE ---> 7DMT built -Scaled back Ratatouille in DLP ---> original version built...
