Star Wars Attractions Coming To Tomorrowland!

[Californian Elitist]

Fluidity of time. Its not set in the past just saying. The time taken to reach the Star Wars galaxy is so great that by the time an Earthling got there it would be the future.

Why not makes more sense than having a present day action toy and a cartoon fish.

Again, it does not need to take over the majority of Tomorrowland, which is what these rumors are insinuating.

The fact is the distance to the galaxy would be huge thus by the time we arrived we would be in the future from when we set out in Earth time. So if we left tomorrow and could maintain a constant at the speed of light. We would be at the "Galaxy" hundreds of years in the future. So technically it is set in the future.

You lost me.

I'm taking it at face value.

I agree.

Personally after being there this Summer - Fantasyland needs a huge repaint and Tomorrowland needs a huge overhaul. If Star Wars is the cohesive paint TWDC so be it. I'm more concerned with both budget and that the locations of Star Wars will be the same at both coasts.

Well, I'm not for turning Tomorrowland into Star Wars Land.

I guess that's one of the problems having Star Tours in Tomorrowland. Orlando would be spared this, probably, simply because they've already got their main SW attraction in another park. Too bad California Adventure wasn't around back in the '80s.

I've only been to Disneyland once years and years ago, since I'm closest to Florida, but even I don't like the idea of letting Star Wars take over most of Tomorrowland. Why not just make a duplicate Star Tours in the CA Adventure?

I am all for it, if they do it right.

Star Wars has absolutely nothing to do with California. That's worse than Disneyland.

I'm so for all of those proposed changes. Tomorrowland needs something, anything to make it 'tomorrow'-land again. While their at it, get rid of that RIDICULOUS Michael Jackson ridiculousness. That's the cheapest POS over there, and milking a dead guys popularity for this long is a very cheap way to keep a ride area running 'just cuz it's cheap'. That theatre is only 1/5 full EVER, and a waste of electricity. Stupid stupid stupid. Disbursing rides around Tomorrowland would also help that dumb bottleneck that always happens between Astro Blasters and Star Tours. Keep the flow moving to other attractions is logisitcally more logical.

Its not. Fluidity of time. If I invent a time machine go back in time. kill Pythagoras and invent "Sir Links Theory" in its place about triangles. Does that make me, myself, an ancient scholar. Nope.

Not if you went through a worm hole.

The whole "long time ago" part of StarWars was something that appealed to me and I'm sure many others. Where almost all space sci-fi movies/stories took place in the "future" this was something that is "historical" Much like all the great myths and legends that have been passed down, this is really based on conflicting human nature and emotions. Power, freedom, love,evil, adventure,discipline, control, rebellion. It was in the past and like those myths and legends, belongs there.

Don't forget about the new Battlestar Galactica.... That was thought to be furturistic all along, but it turned out that it took place 159,000 years ago.

Correct, it is historical to whomever is telling the story, but that person is not necessarily contemporary to us.

I wasn't skeptical... until the part about the Autopia closing...

Wow, I'm seeing this story all over the internet today. All crediting micechat.com as a very reputable source. I've never really checked that site but, I like the idea. IGN's article here- http://www.ign.com/articles/2013/10...-star-wars-additions-are-coming-to-disneyland

 

[James122]

While I agree that Tomorrowland is a mess as far as the theming is concerned, I'm having trouble swallowing the notion that not only would Disney include so many more Star Wars themed attractions, thereby essentially turning the area into Star Wars Land, but that the plans would include demolishing Autopia, a classic opening-day attraction that's still a very popular draw. I agree that SOMETHING needs to be done (Captain EO needs to go), but I think that it kind of reads like a fanboy's wet dream.

Al Lutz and his "staff" at Miceage are like the most famous Disney rumor guys ever. Any juicy rumor of the past decade has come from Al Lutz and his guys, usually months before Disney admits it or anyone else talks about it. The DCA Billion Dollar Makeover Plan, Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, Disney Characters in Small World, Star Tours 2.0, Cars Land details, Monstropolis at DCA, etc., etc. And now it's Star Wars invading Tomorrowland.

If you traveled to the Star Wars galaxy at the speed of light, you would not experience the passage of time. You would arrive however many thousand light years away at the exact same time that you left, according to your "body clock" and any indicator that traveled with you.

And you would have missed Luke and Leia because their stories all happened a long time ago!

I think it's BS. As I said on MiceChat, these rumors sound so fanboi-ish and they sound like they came from Screamscape. As usual, I don't believe anything until there's an official announcement.

If these rumor are true, I will be very, very, VERY upset. Why is Disney so hellbent on turning Tomorrowland into Star Wars Land? Makes no sense, there's already a Star Wars attraction in Tomorrowland. Why do we need several more? I'm quite displeased with these rumors, to say the least. BS.

FYI - it's not BS. While the final plan hasn't been chosen yet, what MiceAge described is VERY close to what I've been told from people who know. I know you have no reason to believe me, so take it for what you will. Only some minor details differed between what I was told and what MiceAge posted, so for better or worse, this is what we're dealing with.

The Endor speeder coaster is going to be massive, but I still don't think it will stack up next to Harry Potter at USH.

Now, if DL was building a Kuka-based Iron Man E-Ticket? All bets would be off. Sadly, that's a ship that's sailed.

What are the 'minor differences' that you noted?

What are the 'minor differences' that you noted?

Cantina location (I heard Pizza Port, not TLT) and I wasn't told anything about the Millennium Falcon meet-n-greet location. Captain EO's replacement is still totally undecided, but will be Star Wars related. Other than that, same info as what I was told. I posted a little bit in the Spirited thread the night before MiceAge posted, and didn't want to compromise my source by posting everything I was told - then MiceAge posted it all the next day, so it wouldn't have mattered anyway.
