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

As I understand it the literal ONLY difference will be the orientation of the two lands. with DLR's SWGE entering from south going north and DHS's north to south.

and DHS's is smaller.

Yes, other than the angle of the Resistance caves, they're pretty identical. (Photo Credit NearMap)

people are reporting already that when they crashed the ship the exit corridor has sparks and shows signs of damage.

That is why we can't have nice things.

Hey now. Don't bring logic into this. The "DLR's is bigger" joke is all some people have!

 

[Hawg G]

Already been discussed. Can't happen because: ADA.




We have no idea if there will be only one mission. Previews with just one mission mean nothing.

I somehow missed the ADA/ramp discussion. Of course that's not true, as they could have an elevator
for them. Not walking up the iconic ramp is a MASSIVE fail by Disney, immersion my , Han walks up a damn ramp to get in to the Falcon PERIOD

Falcon’s Run was a mistake of an attraction. They should’ve just built an indoor space coaster where the riders pilot an X Wing or a TIE and they fly around and through a Star Destroyer.

Pretty much

*senses the "walking onto the real Falcon" discussion resurfacing...*

You just described Hyperspace Mountain.

At the very least, they should have made the gunner position separate from the cockpit area like it is in the film. No rotating seat, no good.

Problem is you have to change gravity if you are going to use the lower gunner station. I don't think you can get most tourists to sit upside down.

Cmon. Nintendo 64 projections and a track that is pretty much just one spiral all the way down ? That’s not what he’s talking about at all.

"Disney Magic".

...and a track that is pretty much just one spiral all the way down ?

The first half is quite diverse. Only the second half is reverse-NASCAR.

So, you want the immersion of a ramp, going into an actual MF, but you're OK with a elevator into the MF? Where would this elevator be located that wouldn't ruin the immersion?

Haha oh you know what I mean. It wasn’t purpose built to be a Star Wars coaster

And, actually, Disney could have simply built a huge suspended outdoor roller coaster with minimally X-Wing-themed seats, called it "Death Star Run" and it would have been every bit as mobbed and popular as Smuggler's Run will be. It's to their credit that they didn't do that (though in the long run, the coaster might have turned out to be the better ride). Hey, lookit me thinking like a Disney exec!

...And Florida's will be hot, sticky and gross.

I think we can all agree if we had the choice we would take a Star Wars coaster and a Falcon walk thru. No one feels like they re flying that dang video game.

RIP Ewok coaster
