I completely agree. I worry that the sarcasm was lost in my original comment.

Still a better use of screens and sets than Mission BO.

Not when you consider that Transformers is purpose built.

Smoke? The technological advances they've made are staggering.

Still a better attraction. Ride history and purpose might interest us here, but from a rider experience, Transformers blows Disney's latest offering out of the water sadly. Such a downgrade.

I don’t find it to be a better attraction. If just for the thrill factor on MB alone. Anyway, they re both turds so I’m not interesting in arguing which one is worse.

...yes. Been told by someone working on the project there is a "landing pad" area near the X-Wing, that would be used as a 3rd show building. Was told it would be about the size of the ROTR building. No idea what it could be. I would hope they don't re-build Star Tours and put it there.

Thank you for your information when are they going to announce it
Point out which roofs are covering backstage and which ones are covering walk ways. And if a path is lined with carts selling merch, do I cut out those carts from the total? Are pathways through shops counted or not? If there's a tree or a rock in a walkway, do I discount it?

I think if you can step your foot on it whilst NOT being in a queue or in an attraction, it should be counted.
I keep hearing that too, but I should really hope a third attraction would hold ALL of its queue+overflow within it, rather than ROTR which is surely going to spill out into the walkways of Batuu.

I found mission breakout to be far more fun and engaging than Transformers.

..announce the expansion? Prob not gonna happen for 10 years or so. If you mean the opening dates for the parks, no one is saying.

This sugary promotional video just confirmed that the Millennia Falcon ride has the stupid Mission: Space buttons. This was one of our worst fears when the word got out that you would be in "control" of the ship in this "immersive" attraction.
Relieved to see no 3D glasses on those guests in the Rise of the Resistance. That's ALMOST a guarantee that there won't be any.
I think the whole 3D ride phase has already ended. Star Tours TAC opened in 2011 now (jesus already 7 years ago??) and AFAIK they haven't opened a 3D ride in any of their theme parks since and there have been a ton of new attractions they could've added it to including in Shanghai. There were rumors the new Soarin was going to get it (and that would've been pretty amazing) but that didn't come to pass either. And even USH had 3D on Harry Potter when it opened and I don't think that lasted more than a year either.

Last year there was that little ride... what was that? Oh yeah, Flight of Passage!
But point taken.

...sadly I agree. It may have started out as a "go anywhere and do anything" ride, but they've obviously been tweaking it so Grandma and every 3 year old can push a big flashing button. Sad very sad...it had so much potential.

It fortunately still has that POTENTIAL. Give the public time.
