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

Sorry to hear that.

After my coma, I have noticed things have changed in my after ride condition. Still ride the wildest and craziest coasters and similar attractions. Mainly need a longer recovery time. No nausea, just getting my head straight.

Can't wait for CoasterCon

I experience that sometimes as well, and I've never been in a coma. Especially noticeable if I'm doing spinners which never used to bother me at all, but now after 2-3 rounds I need a break from them. Something about getting older I guess...

I keep telling myself one of there years I'll get to CoasterCon. Maybe next year with Hershey...

So what about my other non AP related point? And of course, why wouldn’t they clone something popular that is so incredibly easy to clone?

I guess I'm not following your point. You just answered your own question. The ride is really popular and hence why they cloned it. It sort of proves people like it lol.

Look, no one is saying no one liked the old one. It was very popular in its day too and if it was still there I would still be riding it personally. It simply got old. Maybe in another 15 years this one will get 10 minute waits too, I don't make those kinds of predictions about new lands and rides because they are all futile anyway. Either Disney will replace it like they finally did with the original Star Tours or keep it going until they come up with something better and budget worthy.

Oh, good. Another extra magic hour to look forward to

Some day I truly hope to reach the goalposts with @Sirwalterraleigh, but they seem to just keep moving.

You’ll always hook it wide right if you attack everything from the premise of defending a public company that couldn’t care less about the consumer...

Just go with an occasional discussion you haven’t pre-decided the outcome of...which believe it or not I do all the time. The avatar ones for instance

“It’s the truth...it’s actual....it’s satisfactual”

I don’t think they look at it as a mistake. They look at it as excellent justification for getting fresh budget money to build the restaurant without eating out of the budget for the whole land.

I just don't get this thinking? They REALLY needed a justification? That's what others are saying, it was clear this was going to be a BIG BIG hit on day one. Outside of the Millenium Falcon itself, the Cantina is the other iconic attraction in the park most SW fans identify with and want to take part of. And its the only one with alcohol making others who don't care being Star Wars now a reason to care lol.

Why is this and the restaurant not a big priority in the budget on day one? Its going to draw just as much interest as the ride themselves. In fact ALL of Disneyland sit down restaurants are big hits these days from Blue Bayou to Lamplight Lounge. I can't think of one that isn't doing well. You give people a Blue Bayou only Star Wars themed, they will be flocking there for decades.

Star Tours at the end of it's run was 23 years old.

The Adventures Continue is 8. Let's see how Adventures Continue is doing in 15 years.

I bet it will be boring...so status quo

I feel like some of the Mouse chat people came over here.

I've been here from Mouse Chat for a while now.

I can almost guarantee that has more to do with the revival of Star Wars and not the remodel of Star Tours.

Also, to judge the artistic merit of an attraction based upon wait times doesn't make any sense.

You all do that for The Little Mermaid.

I didn’t answer anything. My point was that just because it’s marginally more popular doesn’t make it better. I never said It wasn’t popular.

On another note, lets not forget that the parks weren’t this crowded when Star Tours 1.0 closed. I’m going to go ahead and guess that it would be getting 45 minute waits too.

Art is objective.

You mean subjective.

 

[NateD1226]

I joined Rat Chat to see some of the stupid things they post lol

 

[TROR]

You mean subjective.

No.

You all do that for The Little Mermaid.

I think you're confusing me with someone else. I enjoy TLM ride at DCA. If I were judging it off its short wait times, though, they would be meaningless because of its high capacity.

I've been part of Rat Chat for twenty years. I never post there but it's fun to laugh at the festival of fools.

LOL we're just going in circles now. I get your point. The only reason it was brought up because people acted like 2.0 is some marred and unpopular attraction people hate; which seems based more on their personal feelings over the attraction than the reality.

I loved the original but its gone now. It was fine for its time, but that's life. And 2.0 can continually promote the new movies which is why its so popular now. My guess is when Episode 9 come out they will have a new film for the ride and will only increase more interest in both the ride and the new land. You can't do that with 30 year old ride scenes.

What do you mean by art being objective vs subjective?

I can't wait for this thread to go off into another art battle with @TROR and another user!

Wait times are absolutely not an Indicator of a rides quality, artistic merit or technical accomplishment.

Ok...that’s all I got...have at it
