Also they want to drive Flex pass sales, the Trojan Horse to severely restrict local passholders.

How is ROTR opening supposed to fix the Falcon? If anything it'll just make the flaws more apparent.

What it will do is to put it back into the secondary attraction position it was always meant to be.

A secondary attraction that's still the focal point of the land.

Not really, if the primary attraction is an E+ Ticket and the secondary attraction is D Ticket, then its the primary attraction that is the focal point of the land. Right now its the secondary attraction that is the focal point because its the only attraction.

I'm talking about the land from a design point. The Falcon itself and the architecture of the exterior are the most prominent aspects of the entire land located right in the village portion of Galaxy's Edge. From a theme park design, it's the primary weenie of the land. ROTR, even once it's opened, is still off the path where there's very little else going on and little to draw in riders. Compare the entrances between ROTR and the Falcon, it's clear which one is grander and a bigger focal point.

That might be true, but I'm not talking about the Falcon model itself. I'm talking about the attractions. Its clear they want ROTR to be the grander attraction, and thus the focal point of the guests.

Sure, but I'm talking about the land. If that's their intention, the land they designed contradicts it.

Which 1-2 hit combo will win in the end. Pandora has been able to draw crowds with a garbage 2nd ride. Is SR better than NRJ?

FOP and NRJ or RotR and SR

The Avatar boat ride is not garbage!

Well it be clear your original post talked about ROTR and Falcon, which are both attractions. So if you were talking about land design you should have made that more clear in your post.

I clearly said it’s the focal point of the land...

Okay, I'm going to be more positive from now on.
Galaxy's Edge is a thing that got built!

No, your original post was this:

You changed conversation mid-stream to talk about land design.

Anyways. You've made it very well known your issues with their design choices for the land. So no real reason to go down that rabbit hole again.

My point is that ROTR whether the designed visual "weenie" of the land or not is the primary attraction. Thus putting MF:SM into the secondary attraction position where it belongs.

No, but it is basically a C.

I would argue that the E+/D attractions of GE will trump the E+/C of Pandora.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

It's a dumb comparison anyway but I enjoyed the boat ride far more than the Millennium Falcon, which is only fun if you get the pilot position. We were lucky to get a weird slow-moving space boat ride.

The hiring freeze, the hour cuts for CRs, the cost reduction requirements across all departments... those were not.

Incorrect again. While a couple of these items were changed, most were put in place beforehand.
