Personally, no, that's not what bums me about it. The lack of rides, and the narrow pathways is what I still don't really like about it. Give me some room and a lot more to do (and no, I don't consider shops things to do).
Almost as if those in charge were so sure they'd be printing money with their sequels for decades that they'd have to ration access to their wondrous land dedicated to them because people would be coming in droves to see Kylo and other ST stuff.
I didn't say they should have focused on the OT, just that their focus on the ST was a mistake. One of many.
No they won't. It will come up with something brilliant for sure, but then they'll value engineer it down to something very ordinary.
Only Rise really ties specifically to the sequel timeframe. In an odd way Kylo”s shuttle is from an alternate universe as it was based on a design for the abandoned version of Episode 9. Swap that ship and the Falcon’s dish, take down the First Order banners and you got a long time ago in a galaxy far far away set to your whatever preference of how exactly long ago you like.
Thank goodness the internet wasn’t around when EPCOT Center was built. Compare the imagineers original inspirations to the corporate sponsor cuts and alterations.
I don't know about that. The original World showcase, while having much more than just 9 countries at opening, look like a shopping strip mall. What we ended up with was far better than the original concept.
Having the lake and postcard vignettes is great, but the original World Showcase concept would have been better in about every other way- in sheer volume, attractions, and the all-important shade/ air-conditioning
I have read plenty about original plans for World showcase of Epcot, largely a shopping and dinning complex with uniform standard look to the exterior of each pavilion entrance.
Certainly. Just turn your attention to Future World.
Transportation from SWGE, security, maintenance/utility costs for the whole building. I don't think they could make money off a meal like that without the pricing being prohibitive.
I think this comes down to everything you are supposed to see, hear, smell, and feel is supposed to be in universe. Any type of coaster immediately breaks this idea as speeder bikes don't all run in a row like that or have a big slotted hole under them.
