Nope, that’s still going to be Cast parking.The easiest conjecture is that it goes in the cleared land directly behind Star Wars Land at DHS, in the bottom right corner of this aerial.

Cuz the SWSA with the jarring ending is worth bragging about when WDW has a new SW ride with some of the best animatronics. Either way you still used the wrong Peter Pan. Again there's advantages to WDW AND DL. You can cherry pick photos to meet either agenda.

Really? Then where does the Star Wars hotel go? Or is that why we haven’t heard a thing about this since D23 Expo?

I'm going on the record here to say that I grew up in California with Disneyland as the primary destination for most of my Disney vacations since childhood in the 70s/early 80s. However, WDW is by far the superior resort in my opinion. DLR closed the gap in 2001, but its still no comparison to WDW.

My bad. I fixed it already. The point still stands though, Peter Pan's Flight still has that crappy exterior that should have been updated a long time ago. The condition of the ride interior is even worse.
Dude, Snow White's Scary Adventures is awesome! The scene when the Evil Queen is looking into the Magic Mirror young and beautiful and then turns around and transforms into to the old, ugly hag is epic. Nightmare-inducing even. Also love how she peers out of the window every so often to intimidate guests. That's what makes Disneyland so special.
I don't think you understand what I'm saying though. I'm glad you enjoy the 1 minute kiddie coaster with some modern AA's.

Hmm... Come visit Walt Disney's Disneyland - A celebration of various non specific Americana not devoted solely to one franchise!
It doesn't quite flow off the tongue. I'm glad they didn't go with that for the marketing slogan, and instead came up with The Happiest Place On Earth.
The thing is, Disneyland has never been just about Americana. When it opened in 1955 half the park was dedicated to America's past (Main Street USA and Frontierland) or America's future (Tomorrowland), and the other half was dedicated to random things that were not American but were fun and exotic (Fantasyland, Adventureland). Then as Walt added to it, he balanced those two camps with additions like Tom Sawyer Island and the Sailing Ship Columbia (pure Americana!) with Matterhorn Bobsleds and the Enchanted Tiki Room (A salute to neutral Switzerland and singing parrots!).
Which is why I've always thought Star Wars Land fits in great at Disneyland thematically. And will not harm the original designer's intent for the park anymore than Swiss bobsleds or funny jungle parrots have.
But then, I think you could put Star Wars in almost any Disney park really without it being awkward, except DisneySea or Epcot.
Even though I didn't think SWL fit in Disneyland at first, you might have changed my mind.
Putting location aside, I'm actually pretty excited about this land because it feels like classic Disney. The attention to detail and the way the area will transport you to another place and time is great. New Orleans Square, Main Street USA, Fantasyland, etc. I feel they are sparing no expense just like Walt would've done.

Mine Train is longer than Disneyland’s Snow White ride, and the same length as WDW’s version was.

A hasty draft but these are two possible locations/guesses...because that's really all we have right now are guesses.
In addition to the parking, there is also a new interchange being constructed which could branch off to the hotel in either location and still be close to Galaxy's Edge.

It's called lift hills, my friend. Technically it is longer, but the substantive portion of the ride is half the duration.The actual coaster portion/dark ride segment is VERY short. It falls short as a coaster and as a dark ride. The original budget/concept was much larger, but unfortunately was scaled back.
This is just my opinion, but I'll take a classic dark ride like SWSA over kiddie coaster 7DMT any day of the week.

How long is Snow White's Scary Adventures though? It's over almost as soon as it starts. Not saying the ride isn't a charming classic, but it's hardly a headline show stopper attraction by any measure. Given the modest C level ticket status of both attractions it seems kind of petty to be having a debate over which of these two rides is better than the other.

Can we take the DLR vs WDW conversation into another thread please?!? Let's keep this thread specific to SW:GE only...
Thanks.
Thanks.

I never argued that SWSA was an E-ticket attraction, just that it was a shame that WDW got rid of theirs. They could have easily added 7DMT in addition to the classic dark ride. What happened to the "blessing of size?"

Where?!?
I was actually just looking at an old website that still does some photo updates, Westcoaster. They have some really good photos taken over the Thanksgiving weekend. http://www.westcoaster.net/home/201...ctic-christmas-smorgasborg-of-downtown-dapper
Here's a few of my favorites. This first one is an angle from the parking structure we don't see too often, and shows how it all fits into Disneyland Drive that will be getting even busier with the expanded parking structure.
You can see the new spires of Star Wars Land miles away, even from Villa Park!
Interesting how the new Star Wars Land rockwork is slotting in amongst Disneyland's famous mountain range.
It's also neat to see these new rocky mountain cliffs layer a new backdrop beyond the new Rivers of America.

This is one of the things I'm most excited to see come together when it's all done. Now that you can see the steel and rock work rising in the background, it's obvious how incomplete the foreground is without what will eventually become the background. You can already tell from that last pic that the depth the combo of the two is going to give when complete is going to be pretty incredible!

Good point. The tree growth should help too. Also, if some posters are to be trusted, more trees will be planted as well.
