Feb. 21st Star Wars land preview on ABC

[doctornick]

Valid point. However, if he's right on the specifics mentioned.... then thats a great disappointment.

The First Order ride does look anything like Star Tours, so it seems like a very odd comparison, but the the "disappointment" seems to be more about the content of the land being, what, not enough? Two rides, two restaurants, an indoor show (surely lots of merch) and what looks like tons of streetmosphere -- what's not to like? I mean, there can always be "more" than whatever is built and obviously the execution is key, but what exactly was wrong with the presentation?

Do you mean that Disney hasn't bought Fox yet???

It would solve the X-men issue.

Not yet, but that could change tomorrow.

I guess I think it could. They are going to get permits going till after they do the preview. Could that be some of the reason for the slow deconstruction, they didn't want to give anything away?

I want more than two rides.

I am greedy as a Jawa.

The only thing I could think of complaining about when it comes to SWL is if Disney makes it too expensive for me to go.

I didn't literally mean "that could change tomorrow", just that I only can see as far ahead as the next days permits. I don't think this special has any bearing on the pace of construction.

Zootopia looks great. They love it in France.

 

[TalkingHead]

Almost forgot about Shanghai, lol.

Iger only wishes he could.

So as someone else mentioned is primetime going? What about indiana jones?

If Disney truly cared about Star Wars, they'd build a land with 3 E-tickets, not 2!!!

dick Van !!!

/sarcasm.

I know you didn't mean it literally. I got that by the wink.

Well that Shanghai plug wasn't much of anything.

HarryPotterville opened with only ONE new attraction.

I'd rather get two great ones than more that are not as good. (Not saying these rides will be great -- though they sound enthralling to me -- but as a general rule.)

That said, @marni1971 already indicated there might be some sort of Star Wars 1.5 at least for DHS, so you might get more in the future.

Should I know the song Elton is singing now?

 

[Maerj]

Shanghai's Tron ride and Pirates look really amazing. It would be nice to get something like that here.

 

[RandomPrincess]

I think this is his new song. I'm guessing this is how they got him to perform.

 

[Mike S]

Which appears to be a valid concern

Tell me about it.........

Iger only wishes he could.

Who? What? Oh that place with the occasionally firebreathing dragon. Meh. Not enough substance. Pretty tho.
