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

Basically, yes.

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

Couple years? If the DLRR is back up and running in early 2017 shouldn't it be done by then?

I didn't know that the DLRR would reopen in early 2017. If that's true then it'll look like that in less than a year.

Hahah. I'm not 100% sure Disney has announced when it would be back up but Micechat was saying one year from time it went down.

The Miceage Updates when they broke the big news with that nifty map said the River and Railroad would be down for about 16 months, with Fantasmic! closed for 18 months. The closure began in January.

That puts the timeline at May 2017 for River/Railroad and July 2017 for Fantasmic.

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

LOL You can quote me on that! #ThanksShanghai

LOL at your hashtag @Curious Constance.

If that's really the only difference there will be in the river, I find it so hard to believe anyone would be upset by the change to the river specifically. You can be against Star Wars all you want, but the changes to the river are a net bonus. Especially with all the plussing they are doing with adding the waterfalls, train actually riding over the water, etc. Do you remember the view before this? It wasn't great, not by a long shot.

If they can get that north end of the ROA looking like the concept art a year from now that would be awesome.

You find it hard to believe that the Disneyland online community gets upset over changes to the park?

You're so right! hahaha

For comparison here it is.

I meant the view from the train. That was just some bushes, right?

 

[Curious Constance]

Basically, yes.

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

I wonder how they are going to get the sunbeams to shine down on the river like that?

The park is going to be encased in a multi-faceted prism dome for this effect. Unfortunately, it is very likely most guests will catch fire at some point during the day and burn like ants under a magnifying glass... so make sure you load up on that sunscreen!

LOL As long as it looks good, I could care less about guests catching fire.

A similar concept seemed to be employed by the Vdara Hotel.
'Death Ray' at Vegas Hotel Pool...

Oh, yeah. Obviously it wasn't always that way though. Over the years it became overgrown. One of the benefits of the SW expansion will be the fresh new landscaping and sweeping views of the ROA from the DLRR.

Here's an interesting blog post on the history of the DLRR's various layouts going all the way back from its conception to today.

You can see the parking garage from the front yard of Haunted Mansion.

Ok what gives? I always had the impression you were way older judging by some of your posts describing vintage Disneyland. Yet the other day I saw a picture of you in some thread where you introduce yourself and you look like your in your late 30s. Good genes? Is that not you? Lol

I'm half a hundred. Good genes? Probably.

Thank you by the way.
