Galaxy's Edge: History, Current State, and Future

[jpinkc]

The problem is space. Coasters take up a ton of room, especially if you are trying to have it contain show scenes. I'd hate to get a Seven Dwarves/Oaken Sled coaster that is 30 seconds long, contains no thrills, and only looks good to those walking by.

I dont know Forbidden Journey and Gringots are not bad for the robotic arm ride. That style of ride system could work well for a immersive attraction that could give the illusion of speed and thrills. Doesnt Intamin own the ride system?

What to do with ‘Galaxy’s Edge’ at Disneyland to greatly improve it :

Do what was originally planned for that space - build ‘Discovery Bay’.

The Falcon needs to be in space, dodging asteroids, being chased or doing the chasing, and eventually blowing up something besides a train.

The Falcon needs side gun pods with full targeting and range of movement. Pushing a button on the wall has nothing to do with aiming is not fun.

A joystick with a color-coded reticle on the screen would have been cool. Of course you'd be at the mercy of the pilots, and most I've ridden with can't keep the ship smooth.

More consistent recognizable characters in the land, a stunt show, new MF missions, some of those autonomous droids bumbling around on the lower show-flow in the MF queue and the restaurant concept. Basically "season of the force" up that land, it doesn't actually need much in the way of over the top spend.

A bantha mover, while cool, can not be reintegrated into the land. That version of the land is long gone. It wasn't a last minute cut, the land was reworked without it many versions ago.

Changing Rise characters is literally meaningless and a token move. One the general public could care less about. I'm NOT opposed to the original trio appearing in the land, but it doesn't make Rise (an incredibly well received ride in GSATs) better. There are 100s of other more pressing ways to spend money in Disneyland.

If they want to spend some actual low-grade money, build an indoor musical-revue Tiki-Room/CBJ like experience out behind Pooh. With droids and aliens and critters. It would fill a significant gap in Disneyland's overall menu, which is one of the very, very, very few things Magic Kingdom clearly does so much better. Luke and an Ewok can be the maestros, for all I care.
