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

[fctiger]

OK sorry about previous post - I get a little "fanboy" sometimes!
I have permission to post about this.

Remember that shuttle on top of the restaurant building?
That shuttle is our "Escape Craft" out of the RotR building.
Like I said before, you are gonna react with "ok..good to know" but Disney seems to be fanatic about it being a twist or whatever.

I made a diagram of the ride process and showed it to my contact who agreed and said I could share.
At the end of my diagram, you see your ride vehicle then an arrow pointing to the shuttle. That's the vehicle getting into it to escape the Star Destroyer. Then the shuttle will "crash" to Batuu and the next arrow points to the ride vehicle again because it comes out of the shuttle into the giant hanger room where you get out and ride car recycles for the next riders.

Man I just been back reading all the posts I missed in the last few weeks you been throwing up here. You're great, please don't leave. I was already super excited for this land to open but your insight has doubled it. A lot of great stuff to look forward to.

I saw on the build zoom for disneyland said there was a attraction #3 for star wars land? What attraction is this?View attachment 347865

..agreed, I can only guess its the droid factory where people can custom build their own droid, like was mentioned in the Barron's article (1/6/19) last month. For what its worth, they are still working on it according to the permit.

Quote from the article "...One shop will feature droids that visitors can customize through an interactive experience. A droid that is made to be, say, afraid of stormtroopers might signal its fear when one comes close. Droids owned by members of the same group might recognize each other when they meet. Prices have not been set. The shop might also sell a full-size R2-D2 for well-heeled fans, perhaps costing thousands..."

Going only by what's in this permit, it sounds like this might be for the Droid Store - which would make some sense since it mentions commercial construction and an overhead conveyor droid prop. That and $14 million really doesn't get you much as far as Attractions go these days. But it is strange for them to use the language of "attraction #3". I don't really know how to explain that.

They use to call the Sunshine Plaza in DCA an attraction. So was the spinning ball in front of Space Mountain.

If there's a talking droid AA in the shop, it'd be considered an attraction.

Remember, for Disney, an attraction is a much broader concept than a ride.

I remember DHS use to list like forty attractions. Things like the first aid station and the heart defibrillator location were attractions. The speeder bike outside of Star Tours was an attraction.

Resumé inflation.

Double deja vu.
Why doesn't this site just put out Mister Penguins rumor tracker updates as a video? WDW Magic should earn from its own content and contributors.

Well, he does credit us and Martin especially and encourages people to visit the sites he quotes.

He's always credited every site for the information he uses and why he's one of my favorites. The way he distills the information is really good as well. He's become my go to for information in the last year when I don't want to scroll through dozens of posts to find new info.

Forgive me if this image belongs to someone here. but this image was posted/shared on my group page and I have been getting messages from my contacts that it is pretty close to home. One of my contacts got a call from the Mouse about it. He (my contact) said its ok and I can continue my pursuit of this, but I am working on confirming - we WILL enter the ride through the ship outside the attraction. Not sure how we get into the building unless there is some lift/drop system under/next to the ship to get us there.

Anyone got any more information on this? Like I said, I am working on my side about this...

That's really interesting! I can't wait to see how this thing operates and plays out for each rider.

So cool! So we will actually go up the ramp? I'm really excited to see how they will pull that off. So does that mean we will see another Millenium Falcon inside the show building?
