and that isn't even the BIG building.

So there's going to be an even bigger building? I thought that was the one we're looking at here.

Maybe the Falcon building is even bigger? It gets lost dimensionally in the videos.

*looks at map*

Ok, no, still not seeing it be bigger.

Wait, which building are we looking at that's being erected? Sorry, I'm not up on which is which.

I thought the steel one was the Falcon?

I'm pretty sure we're looking at Alcatraz. Martin thought this was the Falcon when he first saw the circular foundation, but then realized that he was switched around and that this was Alcatraz and that the circular foundation was probably queue related.

Falcon? Alcatraz? Wut?

Falcon? Alcatraz? Wut?

Alcatraz is the Battle Escape attraction (big one). This is likely the one we are seeing constructed right now. Falcon is the Millenium Falcon simulator attraction which will have a smaller footprint and be closer to Toontown.

Haha. Ok, the one we're looking at (steel, basement, etc) is the Battle Escape attraction, which goes by the code name "Alcatraz".

The Millenium Falcon attraction is north of that building and is code named "Big Bird". (So far, unseen in the videos)

On the map, the Battle Escape building is much bigger than the Falcon one.

Don't forget Big Bird!

 

[Curious Constance]

Don't forget Big Bird!

It's one thing to be sitting around discussing the new Star Wars attractions obsessively for months on end, it's an entirely other thing to call them code names like, "Alcatraz" and "Big bird."

This thread is the best ever. When I move on to the hereafter and my life flashes before my eyes I'm pretty sure the WDWMagic discussion about the construction of SW Land will be in there somewhere.

Alcatraz...what SW land would feel like to @raven24

 

[mickEblu]

If they green light the Bantha Mover I'll stop complaining about the GOTG overlay.

Don't blame us. That's what Disney is calling them.

 

[Earl Sweatpants]

Let's not forget the "Dirt Star" they had going at one point.

Haha, that was a MiceChat invention, of course.

Hey, Alcatraz is shorter to type than Battle Escape.
