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

[alias8703]

I wonder if no one cares about the toon town views because there are plans to dramatically change this area ?

As charming and cute as Toon Town is, I rarely ever go back there. Just rode Roger Rabbits for the first time in a decade or so and it broke down right before we got on so it ended up being about a 45 min wait
I enjoyed the spinning, but I know the ride breaks down a lot. Barnstormer and the M&G? I'm good thanks.
So yeah if this was eventually to be replaced by something bigger and better I'm totally fine with that.

The Roger Rabbit ride needs to be made a national landmark.

Barnstormer? You mean Gadget's Go-Coaster?

Probably? lol I told you I don't get back there much

And here's some construction views taken from the upper deck of the Mark Twain Riverboat...

@WDW1974 dropped a potentially huge development in his thread.

Disney officials have been meeting with Anaheim politicos in an effort to hammer out some sort of agreement to breathe life back into the Eastern Gateway. Disney is even (really! ... yes, this news is buried at the bottom of one of my posts on page ... what page are we on?) considering holding back on opening SW: GE in Anaheim to match it with Florida IF it will be able to get a parking solution done by then. Time is truly of the essence here. They know they have a looming disaster here that has been building since 2005 and through the reigns of FOUR DLR Presidents that couldn't get anything done or, more realistically, didn't care enough to!)

I thought I should start posting here at some point. This is a stitched image through the construction wall that I think a few people have posted videos through.

I could give a half a poop about toon town.

I think we can all agree that we only care about and love SWL, Marvel Land, and everything Pixar !

I did the Mouse Adventures scavenger hunt yesterday and spent WAY more time in ToonTown than I ever have...or ever want to again.

There isn't any shade in ToonTown, I think the sun must have worked out a special contract with Disney in ToonTown. Even when you eat one of the crappy food choices, you have to sit in the blaring sun to eat it.

I'm a proponent of TT going away and FL expanding. As long as Roger Rabbit survives even if moved to DCA.

Nice assuming you did there. Thanks for explaining to others what I like and dislike. Lol.

Star wars will be a good (yet placed oddly in the wrong park) addition. Toon town had its moment, but has devolved into some sort of gaudy nightmare. Every time we visit I think to myself, why? Roger rabbit is cool, but the rest of it feels like it could melt into the pavement at any given minute. It could be redone with the new look of the stuff being built today and I'd probably like it. But as it stands now, it reminds me of the plastic Santa lawn displays that everyone hates.

Ya'll've gotta stop to pretending Roger Rabbit is a good ride. Roger Rabbit is a very bad ride and deserves to be destroyed.

My daughter and I rode it Friday for the first time in a couple of years, we both enjoyed it. I don't see them moving it but can see them re-theming it should Frozen take over.

Roger Rabbit is probably the best Disney FL-style Darkride in the US.

Who Framed Roger Rabbit is one of my top 5 favorite movies of all time so I hope they don't get rid of it. I think that In TDAs eyes, RRCTS is completely expendable especially if it means bringing in the Frozen cash cow. Losing the second best themed queue at the park would be a shame though.

What they really need to do is add some projections etc like they did to Alice and a Judge Doom AA.

EDIT: oh looks like I misinterpreted what you said by "moving it" and didn't read the rest of the sentence.

I couldn't care less what happens to Toontown as long as RR is saved.
