Galaxy's Edge vs. Pandora....

[WDWmazprty]

I've heard some people say that once Galaxy's Edge gets online that Pandora won't be as popular anymore. That is understandable to a certain degree, but I think it'll still be pretty popular. What do you think?

Pandora's attracton lines will remain unchanged just as the mine train and space mountain in magic kingdom haven't changed.

 

[jt04]

Fine by me. That would mean there would be fewer crowds, which would make Pandora even more enjoyable.

No place will have fewer crowds once SW:GE opens.

 

[LieutLaww]

Indeed, the masses of people who wont be able to get into SW:GE will then pour into all the other parks.

The line will start back at the US192/World Drive interchange.

Pandora is also popular relative to the rest of DAK, not just relative to the rest of WDW.

DAK is still underbuild, so DAK's crowds gravity naturally towards Pandora and will continue to do so independent of what is built elsewhere.

 

[WDWmazprty]

It'll be interesting to see. It will either be super packed in AK and HS or it will alleviate, if only a little, the lines in Pandora.

 

[NickMaio]

I think both will be immensely packed.

 

[TwilightZone]

I wouldn't say they would be equal, but there's a chance that pandora could still have long lines.

I thought TSL was going to take crowds away from Pandora, but they only did barely, almost not even noticeable. I mean obviously TSL isn't as much as an E-ticket land as SW:GE or even Pandora, but it only barely alleviated Pandora crowds.

If they didn't cheap out, it may have.

Just give me some shade!

If they were in the same park, maybe that would hold up. Maybe. But they aren't. Most people aren't going to drop a day at Animal Kingdom to go to Studios. They'll keep doing what they've been doing- a day at each park, or more. There will just be more of them doing it.

 

[Gainesvillain]

Prediction (and I am a huge SW fan): FOP will still be better than either SWGE ride, and will continue to have a long, well worth it, wait.

Demographics, these are not the attractions you are looking for. Or rather they are making a variety of different types of experiences in different parks that appeal to different tastes so in actuality you are self segregating.

 

[Mickey5150]

Seems the only new attractions that affect wait times are when they are in the same park. So Star Wars may alleviate wait times in HS but that's about it.

 

[LAKid53]

The line will start back at the US192/World Drive interchange.

On the west side, it will back up to Turnpike exit 267A - 429 exit.

 

[LAKid53]

None of this will matter, because Florida will sink from the weight of 5 billion people visiting on opening day.

 

[Raineman]

On the west side, it will back up to Turnpike exit 267A - 429 exit.

I was thinking the turnpike exit on I-75 south...

SWL is going to change wait times for all attractions in DHS in a BAD way. When people can't get into SWL, they will end up getting in line for anything including Frozen Sing Along or Disney Jr...LOL.


It will be a nightmare. I hope anyone that currently works in DHS guest relations, has the common sense to transfer to another park prior to SWL opening.

 

[JIMINYCR]

The popularity of both will last for a long long time. But I do believe SW will have the biggest draw. Surely anything new brings in the crowds and the increased numbers will affect all the parks.
