[Ismael Flores]

Here is a link about how much the x-wings and the tie fighters? and also how much the falcon is?

the company that built them is only 5 minutes from where i live. To bad that the where house is huge and they keep everything inside and away from view. They are also responsible from some of the vending carts in both parks.

Missed seeing all of that...what an expanse.
Most of my views were from ground level within the Park itself.
Where is this view from..?

I think that curving green thing in front is the top of a Big Thunder "Engine" car.

Thanks for the response.

Yeah, I am in touch with reality. I know it will be packed. But there is a difference between "summer packed" and "summer with Star Wars Land JUST opened packed". We're just going to go to Myrtle Beach this year and go to Cali next year for the 4th of July. We had to choose that week because it is one of the only weeks that my son does not have football conditioning or practice and he is out of school. Plus the 4th of July is his birthday and we thought it would be cool to have it at Disneyland.

I hear you, and best wishes for your son's career. As long as you set realistic expectations, you'll have a wonderful time, and the 4th of July fireworks are a treat, as well as the 4th of July bunting on Main Street.

...yes, sorry... BTMRR

 

[Figments Friend]

Ah...okay then.
Then I did see that expanse from the 2nd lift hill on BTMR.

See, I've already blocked it from my memory...that view.
Miss the trees that used to be there.

Every time I ride Big Thunder, I resolve to keep my view focused solely on the goat to help prevent seeing Galaxy's Edge off in the distance.

...so Galaxy's Edge "gets your goat?"

I wish they somehow could keep the real goatś and other animals.

So I saw on the WDW thread that ROTR is supposed to be an 8 minute ride. If true, it would be great. When was the last time we got a new E ticket attraction at DLR with that kind of ride time? Indy? I don’t even think Indy is 8 minutes. Even though touring plans has it listed at 10 minutes. It feels more like 5.

Lol, actually Indy is 4 minutes tops (barring cascades). Part of me wonders if the 8 minute figure for ROTR refers to full cycle time, factoring in unload, drive to load, and load. If I had to make a totally speculative and uneducated guess right now I’d predict ROTR is about a 6 or 6.5-minute ride. We’ll see soon enough!

Isn’t Pirates at Shanghai at least 8 minutes? Apparently that’s the best benchmark to compare this too.

...and the Shanghai ride has elements that are being used in the RotR ride - when the rider goes underwater, same idea as the shuttle transport to the Star Destroyer - a round room and you get spun 240-degrees. (circled)

As I believe someone else might have said, if that fleeting view of SWGE is going to ruin someone's experience then they are just looking for a reason to hate SWGE.

Even if it includes load/ unload thats like 1.5- 2 minutes tops. They have the ride duration listed at 10 minutes! I’m going to have to start turning my stop watch on at the beginning and of rides to see what the real RIDE time is.

I really feel like this is way too obvious not to cover before opening.

Has anyone figured out why this is there? We have to assume they will fill in, right? Right?

 

[TROR]

I find it odd that the article mentions there is only Kylo and the AT ATs on the ride. It kept mentioning the personnel and storm troopers are not part of the ride. Is it really this giant empty star destroyer with just Kylo Ren on it? Surely I must have misread.

Hux is there as well. Admittedly it does seem light on dangers though I must assume there's information we don't have yet.
