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

[Curious Constance]

If I remember right, they were there before, but I could be wrong.

I remember some of the Hyperspace effects lighting up the track- which really bothers me.

Wow, you can see the tracks a crazy amount! That is annoying.

Why is Star Wars Nite on May the 3rd instead of May the 4th? Dumb decision by Disney. The Star Wars firework show going on right now is probably what we'll see next summer. SW Nite isn't even the biggest thing going on. In Anaheim tonight, though. Anyone else watching Pujols go for 3,000 hits?

I'm guessing they weren't willing to turn folks away on a Friday night...really no reason to when you can sell out on May 3rd. I have a feeling the May the 4th in 2020 will either be much bigger and park wide or perhaps isolated to SWGE

Possibly because they realized celebrating a bad pun year over year might grow old.

Yo what the heck is this garbage news

EDIT: on second thought, it’s hard for me to believe they completely get rid of the original Autopia, especially since it still exists at WDW and other parks. Maybe they shorten it to the FL half?

2016 was the year of reckoning for Autotopia Worldwide. It went from being in 100% of Disney castle parks to 50% of them.

I don't know if any attraction has ever seen such a precipitous decline (Absent in Shanghai, closed in HKDL to make room for Marvel, closed in Tokyo to make room for Beauty and the Beast).

I vaguely remember them being there but for some reason they some more impressive now. Like there’s more of em or they are shot off more rapidly. Ya the lighting is a downgrade. When I went on classic Soace last week it was extremely dark in there. I couldn’t see the track for the life of me. Overall, I like the energy that HSM brings though and I may prefer it to classic. Wish I could ride them back to back.

To flip this, I wish they'd plus vanilla Space Mountain to have more effects like what's found in Hyperspace and Ghost Galaxy. I love the ride with the 2005 score, but it's a shame that a ride overlay offers more than the actual attraction.

It’s interesting because part of what makes classic space mountain great is that doesn’t have a lot going on and that it lets the soundtrack and the darkness do the job yet I can’t help but enjoy the energy that HSM brings.

Is this really news though? Did anyone expect this to only be for one or two party nights? Disney would never give actual value to one of these extra parties like this that people have to buy an extra ticket to attend, even if they already had a ticket for that day or an AP for the entire year. Or am I missing a joke?

That's right. Besides MK & DL only Paris has an Autopia. HKDL used to even have an electric version.

When deep in discussion, it's easy to forget that 99.99% of all this boils down to nothing more than personal taste.

That percentage is probably right, with that exception mainly being cases where there's a genuine, tangible, objective element of cheapness and greed going on. Stupid company decisions are stupid company decisions, for instance... budget-cutting a new ride to the point where it's doomed to failure or letting the world's most famous park deteriorate to the point where malfunctions kill guests. And on a less serious note, promoting a cheap overlay as a brand new roller coaster. After all, someone has to counter the bizarre Mouse Cultists who will defend to the death any and all decisions the Walt Disney Company makes.

You guys didn’t know? It was announced at the same time they announced it was coming back for the event...

And the most famous singer of that song is directing the Han Tholo movie. Thyncronithity!

Which is a damn good thing. He actually knows how to direct a large blockbuster since he learned from the best. Those Lego guys were over their head from day one.

Bless these two posts and their phraseology.

I'll forgive him for the Grinch because he directed Cocoon and so many other solid films. And Willow wasn't his fault.

I had some initial reservations but I'm looking forward to Solo. I'm wondering if the 'non-Skywalker' SW films will continue the Marvel route of being more genre-based, within that universe (Ant Man was a heist movie, Winter Soldier a spy thriller, etc.). Rogue One was a war movie and Solo looks to be heist film. Should be interesting.
