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

Sounds like a ride that will be crying out for a total 5G upgrade within 18 months of opening.

Different technology. I don't know the specifics of what they're using, I assume a variation on WiFi 5 (traditional 802.11ac). But if we're talking upgrades it'd be to WiFi 6 (new upcoming standard 802.11ax) not 5G.

Am I gonna have to ride ROTR with my phone in "Starship" (Airplane) mode???

Yeah, I don't know the ins-outs of it all, but it feels like trackless ride systems should be migrating towards the same tech as automated cars, which I understand will be 5G reliant.

5G is better suited for open air usage versus WiFi which is better suited for indoor usage. Additionally 5G is not a replacement for WiFi, they are meant to compliment each other not a replacement for one another.

Here is a good article on it:

While excitement over 5G technology may be overshadowing Wi-Fi developments, we'll need to take advantage of both technologies going forward.

Have you given any thought about how large the XWing coaster car would be?
If anywhere remotely proportional, it would be prohibitively huge and heavy.
If scaled to a functional size where it's own weight wouldn't tear it off of the tracks, it would look comically small and ill proportioned.
Like a kiddy ride.
That XWing coaster diagram that keeps getting posted depicts a car that is many times larger than any coaster car ever made.

Oh really?

LOL yes, the similarities are astounding.

The X-Wing plans were nothing more than a Space Mountain rocket with the first car not having any seats and a set of wings extending out. Really not that massive at all.

I give you all, the x wing coaster

Incredible theming. So immersive. Just. Wow.

 

[ParkPeeker]

thank you thank you, I'm a genius, I know.

A Speederbike coaster is/was far more realistic than X-Wings.

A Speederbike coaster is/was far more realistic than X-Wings.

Not quite as iconic, though.

That image is hysterical, I thank you for the laugh!

A bike speeder ride through Endor seems conspicuously similar to the Hagrid ride.

Anyone, remember this one?
