You mean to tell me a voice actor's voice changes over 32 years?!!?? You've gotta be kidding me!
If they built a highly immerse coaster, then y’all would be complaining that they only built one ride, since there would only be enough space for that in the land. I would much rather have a big, incredibly impressive and immerse dark ride along with a Falcon simulator than just one coaster. I guess that’s just me though.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.
Why would there only be space for a coaster?? How big are most indoor coasters?If they built a highly immerse coaster, then y’all would be complaining that they only built one ride, since there would only be enough space for that in the land.

I forget, does that 14 acres also include the expansion pads?And the land is 14 acres. I think they could pull it off

You know what everyone wants to do when it comes to the Falcon? WALK UP THE RAMP.
A heckuva' lot more believable than riding a coaster.
A coaster can't come remotely close to the goal here.
Have you seen how massive the space for Falcon is?If they built a highly immerse coaster, then y’all would be complaining that they only built one ride, since there would only be enough space for that in the land.

Yes... and I bet a coaster, like the Death Star one that was pitched, would be MUCH larger. Have you seen how massive and ugly the show building is for the Epcot Guardians coaster?Have you seen how massive the space for Falcon is?
So if GE is 14 acres, and GotG (as a comparison) is only 2.82 acres, there would still be 11.18 acres left for Rise (let’s call it 2) and everything else.You guys are way too sensational for me. The 14 acres includes every inch of usable land that isn't taken by some other infrastructure not related to Star Wars. Rock N' Roller Coaster and Return of the Mummy in Orlando (the bigger one): 1.5 acres. Guardians of the Galaxy coaster: 2.82 acres. RotR show building: 1.75 acres. Smuggler's Run: 1.76 acres.

If Harry Potter at Universal hadn't happened, I wonder how things would be different right now...A Star Wars coaster is too conventional. It’s what every non-theme park fan would expect a Star Wars land to have. This land was the third attempt by Imagineering to do something ambitious, as instructed by the Board of Directors. They needed to do something that would prove that Disney still knows how to exceed expectations - Something they haven’t done since Indy in 1995, in my opinion. A coaster wouldn’t do that.
