Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

And there you have it. If this ride ends up being like what it's rumored to be, then it won't be worthy of a $100+ admission fee to DHS 2.0. Thankfully, I'm remaining positive and in hope that the ride will be the best possible experince that it can be.

But what you WONT get at an arcade is immersive and hyper detailed theming, putting you right in the middle of the action. there's a massive difference between star tours and those simulators at chuckie cheese

What's it rumored to be?

What's it rumored to be?

I think they are saying VR headset.

 

[Haymarket2008]

It definitely will not be a VR headset. People on these boards who have genuine knowledge of what the attraction will be have specified otherwise on numerous occasions.

Yeah I know they aren't going to be but that what the rumor was right?

Ok. I thought he was talking about an actual insider rumor and I missed something. The headset thing was just someone here saying they thought based on the attached article it could be that. I don't think it will, but we have a while to wait to find out.

I agree, I love Star Tours and I know that it's much more advanced. It's just that if the Milenium Falcon attraction has you wearing a VR headset, then where would the immersive and hyper detailed theming be? The queue?

Well that's a relief.

 

[Crazydisneyfanluke]

I would hate VR headset. They would have to clean it between each use. I would hope... otherwise your head might start to get itchy!

Star Wars does not need a new simulator ride. The hope we have now for Star Wars Land rides is that one of the rides will be like a trackless technology ride like at Disneyland Paris with their Ratatouille ride. If that is true, then the ride will be Disney World's first trackless technology ride.

Based on the limited info we have so far it looks like the other ride could be something that would be able to utilize that ride system. The MF ride is almost certainly going to be a simulator of some kind.

Well, hopefully the MF ride will not be like Star Tours.

It won't be. Think more.... intimate.

Exactly! But maybe less like Ratatoulille and more like Pooh's Hunny Hunt or Mystic Manor if you get where I'm coming from. *cough* practical effects *cough*

It will be a mix.

 

[Donaldfan1934]

It will be a mix.

Well that's great to hear. I find that can screens usually work if amongst practical effects.

VE headsets would be so capacity inefficient for anything. Like a couple hundred people an hour? What a nightmare that would be. There's no way they would go that route.

 

[Haymarket2008]

Yeah I know they aren't going to be but that what the rumor was right?

The rumor was that it would be a moving "cockpit" on a track and it would, more or less, move in front of a series of screens. I think that was the general idea.

Was there a 3D component to that rumor?
