DHS CARS LAND

[hpyhnt 1000]

Only a nerd would say that

I would rather have both. I just don't see any SW ride being as epic as some people think.

Your lack of faith is disturbing.

Even if executed with New Fantasyland levels of laziness and mediocrity, SW would be a hit. If executed properly with a few "must see" E-ticket type of experiences, it could certainly rival Potter.

The fact is that SW is incredibly popular and an ingrained part of pop culture. One need only look to the fact that Star Wars Weekends have endured for so long for proof.

I hear there may be a big Studios announcement next week. It may be SW Land.

I have also heard that WDW wanted a full Carsland or none, but since some of the asprcts of Carsland were not living up to expectations and not worth duplicating, they might scrap the whole Carsland Florida project. Sounds like an easy out to avoid the project to me. This leaves Star Wars as the better (plus cheaper) expansion option. Plu, it would keep the park from shutting down two huge people eaters.

Yeah, I hear they plan on having a Star Wars restaurant and meet and greet opening in 2019.

I am actually alright with this, I prefer something new rather than a clone, also maybe this will give them time to give us something new for pixar place instead of cars. The only downside is that could be a very long time from now.

As a Star Wars freak, this excites me. As a realist, I know we'll get an X-Wing Fighter spinner and a dark ride featuring nothing but dancing Ewoks.

has there been anything released to the media yet?

We'll probably get a Jar-Jar spinner and a cart with $8.50 blue drinks.

Blue milk. Which will be great on a 90 degree day.

The obvious question is why there can't be both?

Seems to me, that more Star Wars geeks got beat up in school, but what ever. I know more people that skip/stay away from Star tours because they have no interest what so ever. Pixar should just be expanded.

What does school bullying have to do with a theme park?

Let's just say that you never met me, a SW geek, in high school and leave it at that.

Right, that's why it should stay a CA exclusive.

Although I go to WDW (almost) every year - after going to DL in May - I agree with this 100%. Carsland & World of Color need to remain west coast exclusive

It was mentioned earlier that little boys who like Cars get beat up at school, while the same thing doesn't happen to little boys who like Star Wars, hence the "getting beat up" comment.

Hope people have seen this commercial lol...

 

[JimboJones123]

When/if it does... It will blow up the interwebs.

October 1st is coming....

Of course the last time an October 1st event did not disappoint was 10 years ago when Mission Space, Philharmagic, and Pop Century opened and Everest got its big promotional pitch.

Please tell. Where have you heard this? Can you provide links?

It's basically going to be a launch coaster, right? The one that was originally going to be TRON for us and Iron Man for DLR. And people saying we don't need a clone... A SW attraction will be a clone from one of the Asian parks, like the Seven Dwarves Mine train. I believe Shanghai. And isn't DLR's TL supposed to get the SW attraction, too?

And I want a killer ride, not something that's a hit based on name brand only. Your comment: "Even if executed with New Fantasyland levels of laziness and mediocrity, SW would be a hit." is the problem.

I thought the DHS plan was a copy and paste of the one for DLP. Looks like Disney wants to use its new Star Wars parks stuff as much as possible.

 

[DManRightHere]

I'd rather see more money put up for a high quality star wars theme that split up for both. I hope they get the shovels out soon.
