News Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge - Historical Construction/Impressions

Ah... It's always great to see a copy or photo of something obviously labeled "DO NOT COPY OR PHOTO". Let the moral struggles begin.

Did a quick overlay with Mintcrocodile's photo.

Two things though: as britain said, it's steel; an indoor prop probably wouldn't be. And why put it inside? Wouldn't Disney want it drawing attention to the attraction?

Very similar to PoTC in Shanghai where the biggest set pieces essentially had the show building built around them. This is much later but you can still see some structural steel used for those ships.

Awesome! Walker and Map in one day!

Interesting that the Sarlac pit is outside the building.

Ah you beat me to it!

Exciting day! Some observations:

Compared to the MiceAge map, Battle Escape looks like there are some chunks broken off of it. Millennium Falcon looks nearly twice as large as it did on their map. In fact, they both look to be about the same size!

I'm guessing that the trough like structures to the left of where the Millennium Falcon exterior ship will be (seen in Near Map aerial photo) are going to be exit ramps.

The color coding might be tricking me, but it kinda looks like after you pass through the Fantasyland-side tunnel you're still surrounded by undefined (more Frontierland?) landscaping. As if you are not quite in Star Wars Land until you get to the orange buildings.

Awesome overlay! Question: Is Jedi Training going to be in this land? Never heard a word about it?

 

[BrianLo]

It's inside. @SMLR had that side of the plot not aligned quite properly. I.e. See the Pooh Building being quite shifted.

@britain has that part of the building better aligned.

From what I have been hearing at EndorExpress, the Jedi Training will be inside and have similar effects as the DLP version. (ie levitating R2-D2). I hope this means we can get rock bands back in Tomorrowland Terrace again.

The other thing I want to point out is how (minus the added appendage to the right side), the MF is actually very symmetrical. We know the ride is essentially duplicated with two carousels, the design of this outline makes a lot more sense to achieve that than how MC had it before. It's still quite clear MC had at least a version of a plan, even if some things have shifted slightly.

Now for something controversial... that original temporary looking warehouse that was thrown up is in orange. The layout makes it seem very much like that will be guest accessible, so perhaps that building will also get taken out once the guts of the land need to be started on. I say that as the obviously temporary office structure is also occupying where a building is going. The newest steel structure though abutting toon town you can see on the map, but it is not colour coded to the land itself.

 

[Curious Constance]

Do we know which colorful square the restaurant is yet?

 

[SSG]

I've been fiddling with the picture but I can't make out the writing. Anyone having better luck?

I don't think that it's going to be very guest accessible. I think walls are going right about here in blue.

This is clearer. From Mint Crocodile.

I love that it says "Do not copy or photo" and I'm sitting here looking at a photo copy.

Here is a construction picture of the AT-AT over in Florida for comparisons.

They shouldn't have posted it on a sign that could be seen from the parking structure.

I bet MintCrocdile has a really long lens.

I think you're right that quest access will end somewhere about there. Using the Falcon to get our bearings, your blue line would start about where I marked in yellow on this concept artwork:

Hey I'm not complaining!

Probably something like that. Trying to see where the imperial shuttle is going...

Thought I'd try this composition, but there is so much artistic license going on, I don't think this gets us very far.

In some areas I need to warp the map more, in others I need to warp it less. There just isn't an exact 1 to 1 correlation going on here.
