[danlb_2000]

Oof. They even re-did the WoF set to promote Galaxy’s Edge.

Probably recorded well before Disney decided to close it.

Have you been?

Is this supposed to be a gotcha? No I didn't go. Just like like the vast majority of fans, hence the reason it's closing down. There was zero chance I would put down 6 grand plus for it based on the marketing and influencer videos.

want a similar 2-night experience?

Did they advertise this on the resort tv loop?

Thread should be named to “Star Wars: Galactic Failcruiser” IMO.

Watching this made me think about what the Starcruiser could have been like

Speaking of that. I always thought the Vegas Star Trek experience is what Star cruiser should have been like.

Like what? Both are failed attractions...

Did you watch the video? It was still turning a profit when it closed 6 years after opening, longer than the Starcruiser lasted.

right. I'm spending almost that to stay at a deluxe resort for 8 days and that includes an 8 day park hopper. and they want me to spend that for less than 2 nights with discount Star Wars 'characters'? na....I'm good.

The Vegas Star Trek Experience was really beautifully done... Large scale and beautiful... It included a themed casino and even restrooms that were themed. It was a much more beautiful interior than anything I saw of the Galactic Starcruiser...the scale was grand...which the starcruiser should have been...

also you get the advantage of walking onto the bridge of the 1701-D instead of Original Space Love Boat

Yes. Correct a concept that should have been done on a, as you say, grand scale. Not what it ended up being.

Oh Josh, you completely fake, tight-panted sellout, you should be proud of the fact that you managed to take the most iconic entertainment franchise in history and completely run it into the ground. I can't wait to see what train wreck of a disaster your people come up with next!

What a yutz…

What they did is fail to understand anything about the IP they bought…


But I smell what they’re stepping in here:
Drop the hotel rooms and try to make this an upsell “excusion”

So they failed at the cruise ship…so now they’ll pivot to the island with locals selling painted coconuts

We can guarantee if they ain’t dozing it, they are trying to figure out any way to still make a buck off of it

I’m sure big wigs got bonuses for coming up with the original idea and then others will get bonuses for coming up with how to undo/redo it too lol

"No hints yet...but something will happen."

So THIS is where the Olivia Rodrigo attraction will go! Just in time for her sophomore album!

At this point, if you're not taking Josh with enough salt to cause your doctor to talk about sodium intake......
