I’d imagine that it would at least by as thrilling as Space Mountain but probably more thrilling because it’s hard to imagine a purpose built Star Wars coaster not being a launch coaster. What do people want for kids in SWL? My three year old can already ride the Falcon. With that said, I haven’t put him on it because of the seating arrangement.
Bet we could finally get some spiked Blue Milk there. Would help me visit Florida less.
Not having kids, I don't know what would be good for them. But my fear is Disney goes the Bugs Land route like when they got complaints about DCA not having enough in it for small kids. I don't know how you put in a small spinner or the like and keep the 'you're in Batuu' conceit going.
As a willingly childless adult, I'm also stumped at what 21st century kids want, aside from Hershey bars on my front porch on October 31st.
Based on the imagineering video, I'm actually not confident the height requirements would have been better.
With someone shouting commands at you the entire time.
Totally agree with this. Flying the space ship should be fun and exciting and have you fighting Tie Fighters and Star Destroyers. Instead they made it about grabbing shipping containers? Who's idea was this. Star Wars is so simple, why do they have to screw it up so bad.
Yes. But I don't think Disney is ready to take that step. They will want to see if episode 9 is well received and creates more interest, and if RotR is the great ride we're hoping for. If not, it wouldn't be surprising if Batuu is converted to Star Wars land.
Maybe it's just me, but if I was in a space battle shooting at TIE fighters, I'd rather be flying an X-wing. But it would be hard for them to do a solo simulator. May have something similar happen with RoR though. We'll see
Tell that to Vader in the trench
There are some on the planet surface near the train - my broader point was a more epic, grand space battle with a story arc vs repeatedly flying along the ground, following a train, looking to steal a canister.
