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

[marni1971]

So how do we get to the second floor? I thought trackless vehicles can't go uphill? I guess some sort Haunted Mansion elevator experience in the queue didn't necessarily get shot down by @marni1971 because you don't necessarily board an elevator. Riiiight Marni?

Ride vehicles have used elevators before. Think Transformers, Tower of Terror. Tower in particular shows an AGV can reliably drive into a locking mechanism.

Technically Energys Travelling Theatres also travelled vertically Sigh

Yeah, I had always assumed it would be similar to Transformers in terms of getting to the second level.

I can't reveal where I got this image, but are you referring to this?

Oh that's right I forgot about Floridas TOT. You must be referring to Transformers in Florida? They don't do that at USH.

So how the heck do we get to the Star destroyer in Space?

I don't really know, but the lack of a "ride vehicle" doesn't preclude a non-moving simulator.

True but that sounds kind of meh.

Actually they do! And very effectively apparently, if you never noticed.

Basically, at two points in the ride you're facing a two story screen. You lock into the moving platform and lift up while the image on the screen adjusts to your vertical movement.

Wow! I've only been on it twice but I didn't notice. I just felt disoriented and like I was being thrown around the entire time but I never felt as if we went up a story.

I refuse to believe the Transformers' ride had any story!

So I guess the difference with Battle Escape is that you ll lock into a moving platform that will bring you up to the second floor where you finish off the attraction and another platform brings you back down (maybe).

 

[britain]

Well, technically these guys aren't sitting, so I guess you could say they aren't 'loaded onto a vehicle' either.

They might pull a WDW Pirates and let you get back to ground level after you get off your vehicle and ride a speed ramp!

 

[Little Green Men]

Star Wars looks small and cramped compared to Disneyland's version.They wasted a good amount space with that berm area.

Except Disneyland DOES have an official expansion pad for SWGE next to Toon Town. TDO is too cheap to use that berm as anything but a berm.

Ugh here we go....

 

[spacemt354]

Instead it looks like they will force people to walk thru Galaxy edge to get to Toy Storyland.

There's two entrances into Toy Story Land, one behind the Chinese Theater and one from GE.

Latest video from Yensid 55. The stuff about animatronic troopers right at the beginning is pretty interesting

Popular Mechanics.

A very clever and amazingly obvious part of the pre show using a technique used elsewhere in Orlando.

The Transformers ride is interesting because all you do is get helplessly beat up by the entire time. That other guy on your team does pretty much all the attacking while you get attacked. It's stupid, but fun, but still stupid. I hope there's actually more of a relevant story to Battle Escape and its not just a higher-budget Transformers ride.

The fact that the best name they came up with was "Transformers: The Ride" is telling.

You guys are going to give a few posters a manic breakdown over this land usage business.

Almost the opposite. Some people are actually starting to see the sizable expansion pads beyond the berms. Therefore, they must be starting to see that it could've been built larger and could've been built more than five feet from Grand Avenue. I don't care if people spin it into a DL's is better thing, I just care that people finally see I am correct in this the argument, so this can end sooner than later. Carry on.
