Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[KingOfEpicocity]

The Battle attraction isn't really going to be a thrill-based E-ticket. Well, it will certainly be thrilling, but not because the vehicles are throwing you around. I think from a movement perspective it will be more tame than Spiderman. I'm trying to think... Mr. Toad's Wild Ride might be the most apt North American comparison. Pooh's Hunny Hunt also gets a little bit (but not too much) excitement in the Heffalumps scene.

It will also still be chalk full of practical effects. As I mentioned, I really think the 'Disney fan' will be very satisfied with this one.

The show building is just so outrageously huge, I do wonder how long ride time will be.

Sadly though, rides are following the same path. The screen than set then screen then set. Whoever breaks this pattern will deserve all the attention. But I'm looking forward to the holographic technology mentioned previously according to a patent. I'm assuming your referring to the micechat map? If so, the MF building looks too small for what's been discussed.

Like Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin?

I would think it would not only be more detailed, but I would think you'll be moving around a lot more. Like star tours meets buzz. Seems reasonable?

Yeah but you would be shaking around so much you wouldn't be able to shoot anything.

Maybe that's the idea... No high scores allowed!

True, I understand that they need to use screens, but some of the stuff that you shoot at should be physical.

Based on the concept of the Millennium Falcon ride, though, I think it would be pretty difficult to have a lot of physical effects. I mean, are they going to build a replica of a Tie Fighter or planet? Based on what I've read, I'd expect some physical effects but the main bulk of the ride will be screens just due to the concept and how best to execute it. Still, if there is significant interaction/control from the riders and if the ride vehicle physically moves from place to place, then this has the potential to be a great experience and relatively unique.

Pam and Kingof must be the same person - talking to themselves

I would think things like hangers and such would be practical, then any flying sequences like hyperspace would be in screens. The nice thing about screens is, if they break, you can't just put a strobe on it

Bingo

I would like it if some way they could do the hyperspace without screens.

 

[Pam Hates Penguins]

Bingo

So once the new SWL shooting ride will come in, will no one care anymore about Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin? I hope not. It's a great attraction. And besides, they have better technology today than they did back then.

Buzz is a classic and hopefully the imagineers get the incentive to update it after Star Wars land opens.

Well, that's like saying since TSMM came in, nobody will like buzz anymore, but is that the case?

Skip to 3:43.

Maybe they can update it (maybe in the next year or so) before STL will open. As a way of showing a sneak peak preview of what the STL attraction would be like.

You have a point there.

Great idea, they should get it asap if you ask me.

I'm sorry. I don't see any video.

 

[Donaldfan1934]

I'm sorry. I don't see any video.

Hm, I see a video. Is it not there at all or just not loading for you?
