News Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser Permanently Closed Fall 2023

[Sirwalterraleigh]

lol…well if there’s anything mgm is good at…it’s shutting down failed park concepts and using the buildings as swing space for decades

 

[MisterPenguin]

Can we start moving people out from Animation Courtyard buildings please?

That is prime real estate that needs to be demo'd ASAP for growth.

Hopefully, a lot of 'back of house' area will be taken over by guest-facing attractions.

AC should be the first to go... especially since an insider said the current office residents were told they're moving.

Now all that's left is to start charging $2K for a tour of Imagineering. I can think of many (myself included) that would LARP as an Imagineer. I know, genius! You're welcome Bob!

Lower the price to about 5 hundred thousand and I might consider it

Is it an insider if it was an employee in those buildings that posted on Twitter that they were being moved?

I forget where. But the info was stored in my Mind Castle as "per some insider."

Wow... I wonder what it will cost to transport the imagineers up to the starcruiser and back every day?

Far cheaper than fact-finding trips to New Orleans

 

[TheCoasterNerd]

Far cheaper than fact-finding trips to New Orleans

Or Central America

They can walk, and Disney can count it as a health benefit.

Lol. It is pretty funny. Not that the execution was great but I feel that the concept itself was doomed to fail. The question is why couldn’t the imagineers see that? With that said, it feels like Galactic Starcruiser was just a value engineered boutique hotel cosplaying experience serving up nothing but the stuff Chapek paywalled and moved over from Galaxies Edge. They VASTLY overvalued things like cheesy lightsaber training, a tiny sterile cafeteria and couple nameless walk around characters including a Blue Captain who looked like she was more from Star Trek. They basically thought they could charge the fandom ridiculous prices for them to pretty much supply their own fun.

What they need to do is build a Star Wars Deluxe hotel that looks like the palace on Naboo. Or do a hotel like Wilderness Lodge or AK lodge with Ewok treehouses options.

No. No, they do not. There are only so many Disney fans. There are only so many Star Wars fans. The number of Disney Fans who are Star Wars fans, are fewer still. That number shrinks exponentially when you include the those who are fans of the Disney Style of Star Wars. It shrinks even farther when you consider how few Disney Style Star Wars fans can afford $5K for a weekend. That number is almost nonexistent for Disney Style Star Wars fans can afford $5K for a weekend who want to return over and over again, much less once.

Sad but true

 

[S.I.R. the Robot]

It's gonna become an office space just like Nickelodeon Studios....

WE NEED A HOTEL THAT HAS ROOMS WITH CARTOON STARBURSTS ON THE WALLS IN THIS SPACE!!!!!!

Yet another missed opportunity here…
They shoulda’ turned this windowless monolith into a maximum security prison for Disney Villains…can you imagine how much fun Guests could have had having “visitation” with their faves…!!!!!

That’s why it says it has to be a beautiful resort first and Star Wars second. I think it would do great.

 

[S.I.R. the Robot]

How about a venue where Joke Yoda does stand-up comedy punctuated by "MMMMMMM!! FUNNYYYYYY JOKE!!"

 

[Tha Realest]

Now I bet they wished they had built a pool.

 

[S.I.R. the Robot]

The takeaway from this situation??

"Heheheh... say goodbye, Galactic Starcruiser."

I think it would be a good place for a gender-swapped Body Wars
