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

WDW's also has that awesome musty Tomorrowland FL smell which is hard to put into words, but I suspect the result of the humid FL air clashing with the always-running AC. It hits you right in the face as you enter SM on the Peoplemover.

But at DL we have the musty Disneyanna / Opera House smell and Haunted Mansion musty foyer smells. Not to mention the unmistakeable Matterhorn lift hill smell, and the old water/ chlorine smells in POTC.

For mother's day, I'm getting a candle that is supposed to smell like POTC. I can hardly wait.

This is all true! Oh how I love all those smells... The FL monorail,on the other hand, I could live without. That thing somehow manages to smell like a dirty zoo, even when completely empty.

Those smells are like half of the Disneyland experience! I haven't taken a ride on the DL monorail in a while but from what I remember ours doesn't smell all that great either!

Ours smells like ROSES compared to the stinkhole that is the FL monorail!!!

Lol. I need to get out to Disney World so I can start contributing to these conversations. And when I finally do, I promise a very detailed analysis from a long time Disneylander including comparisons of all the same attractions on both coasts. I only hope that I get to ride DHS' TOT in case that awful rumor comes true.

They have all kinds of Disneyland inspired candles.

I haven't tried them yet, but the reviews are pretty good!

Awesome! Thanks !

They also have Harry Potter candles and Doctor Who! It's like they know me and are creating things just for me.

What will Star Wars land smell like?

WDW SM follows the same track layout as the Matterhorn except it is freestanding in a room. That makes it easier to replace but WDW doesn't care to do a real track replacement.

Absolutely incorrect. Matterhorn has two distinctly different track layouts. WDW SM's tracks are mirror images of each other and only cross over to the other side for one pass.

Just as long as it's not the smell from the outside queue, left side that goes right over a sewer line.

The smells are actually very similar

Mint Crocodile has pics up from this morning, taken in between rain showers.

The maintenance buildings that remained have all been demolished now! This is north of the Hungry Bear Restaurant and Winnie The Pooh ride.

More grading and clearing.

Here's the "Expansion Area" east of Star Wars Land, where Frozen and Fantasyland Expansion is rumored to go.

And the big panorama shot. Notice all the buildings on the right that are suddenly gone.

Much more at Mr. Crocodile's latest blog. http://mintcrocodile.blogspot.com/

Too bad they don't continue and demolish the Pooh bear building and build a bigger trackless version that would leave Tokyo in the dust. How much could an extra 10k sqft addition cost?

MiceChat has some new pics in today's update. Looks like work is underway to create the ROA's new route with a shorter TSI.

 

[Curious Constance]

So was the original route the route the large white truck is taking, and the little black golf cart is taking the new shorter route? Is that what everyone else gets out of this?

So what you're trying to say is... RUMOR: Mark Twain and Columbia to be replaced by a white truck and little black golf cart! DAMN YOU DISNEY

Basically, yes.

Hard to believe that in a couple of years it'll look like this:
