As I have said before, SR is one the best rides at Disneyland. It would be in my Top 3. The characters walking around were amazing! You are totally right: People MUST do their research.
Haters gonna hate. With reviews a lot of people like to be contrarian because they think it makes them seem sophisticated. Everyone with knowledge of the basic idea of a SW themed land knows it will be a success so some people don’t want to be part of the masses loving it.
I think it was posted a few pages back on the other thread. There were people using phones in the land but they had a green lanyard with the Disney Play app symbol on the bottom. Did I miss something when it came for some people getting to use their phones?
i disagree with that. there are some great HD quality videos of videos that i have seen.
Oh ok! Thanks for responding
I don't think they are rooting for it to fail as so much their expectations were let down somewhat. I think it is pefectly fair for your average guest who has not been following up with the details of the land such as the theme and what time it takes place in the star wars universe to expect they will see things and people they know from the films such as Luke, Han, Vader and be let down when they don't see those things. Now in this day and age they should have done some research before going to the land. 5 minutes on the net would have answered all their questions ahead of time but your average tourist is not going to do that. they are expecting "STAR WARS: THE LAND" Instead of the story Disney is trying to tell within the land. so i get why they would feel that way.
I said this when it was first announced. I thought some visitors would be disappointed not seeing the classic characters or classic sets from the movies. Now seeing how this all came together I think what has been done is so much better. Way more immersive. Any “classic Star Wars” fan still has to have boarding the MF as one of their top 3 Star Wars fantasies.
For now. There have been rumors that it may be repurposed to another IP. I thought maybe GoTG but that has stand alone rides now on both coasts. I would be fine with it staying and now seeing how GE works it makes sense it wasn’t directly connected to the land at DHS. I do hope they keep it SW but feel it may go at least at DHS.
Remember, most people visiting SW and looking for Luke, Leia and Han aren't stupid. They're normal people with lives. Most guests visiting SWGE will not be hardcore SW nerds or theme park geeks. They'll be families on vacation. Most people watch a SW film and then get on with their lives. They don't dwell on backstories, make-believe history or the ins and outs of film making. When they go to "Star Wars Land," they expect to see Darth Vader, light sabers, the Milenium Falcon, Chewbacca and stormtroopers. They expect the rides to be fun and worth waiting in line for.
Exactly. Even local news crews generally have only the most basic SW knowlege when reporting on the land. Notice that everyone perks up whenever they see Stormtroopers or the Falcon; it's something they recognize.
I'd say most CMs and Disney employees are not hardcore SW fans. And I'd also say most of them are having a nice time and not going online making negative comments about it.
