DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[KingOfEpicocity]

The Pandora's Box ride system. Maybe with an enclosed ride car. I could see some cool possibilities for this. A semi see through windshield/screen on the ride car in rooms with physical sets... imagine the abilty to randomize the video on the screen ala star tours over a physical set... just spit balling, but my point is I'd love to see this ride system in the park, I think they could do some pretty cool things with this...

As cool as this would be, we've already seen official pics from Disney. Not gonna be this.

Sorry, I was talking about the main anchor E, not the Bird.

Ok, got you.

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

I would hardly consider Buzz Lightyear a classic.

Aside from what you sit in, I believe so.

That doesn't surprise me and, given what they are trying to emulate with the ride, seems like a reasonable choice. Some things are better represented with screens and simulators and space travel is one of that.

I suspect they are expecting the interactive elements to be the real differentiation of the ride. If the steering and shooting are actually engaging, that's a big upside.

Depends on who you ask

Its too new to be a nostalgia based "classic" like Small World or CoP and definitely not an "instant classic" e-ticket type ride. Don't get me wrong, it's a darn fun ride which I usually hit more than once in a day to try to beat my scores but calling it a classic is a bit of a stretch.

Who are you asking?

Who are you asking?

Probably the same people that think the BAH had been in DHS from the beginning.

Don't get me wrong, Space Ranger Spin is a family favorite but it's not a classic.

If you ask a kid the ride is ancient. If you ask an adult they'll say otherwise.

I'm an adult. Its not a classic.

If You Had Wings is a classic.

Will there be any information about the park location of SWL when they "break ground" in April?

There is still a rumor that it will connect to Critter Country.

 

[Daveeeeed]

I wish Disney would finally just make the official of where Star Wars Land will be located at DHS and give us a mapped out area of what is going where. But probably nothing will be announced until LMA shuts down in April if that.

They'll probably do that Sometime in April.

There is still a rumor that it will connect to Critter Country.

That's probably what will happen, so crowds can spread out easier and not get clumped up on the critter country side of the park, while also having an exit instead of just insane amounts of people next to big thunder. That way they will also be able to take people from Fantasyland, and bring them to Critter Country, and the lower left side of the park, and vice versa as well.

I don't know many adults that say the ride is a classic. I like the ride but something like Peter Pan is a classic.

Disnwy World's space ranger spin severally needs the line to be interactive, and upgraded, and the ride needs tons of money out into it. Also I would hope they keep the mounted blasters as I have been on Disneyland Paris' one, and Men in Black Alien Attack, and can tell you it makes your arm tired, and really hard to aim as well. I like buzz, but I can tell you that my family (grandparents, aunts & uncles) prefer it much more than the kids/teenagers. I wouldn't as much call it a classic, but it certainly isn't far from it, but I think it's more the nostalgic factor of it.

Wrong park - DHS, not DLR.

If You Had Wings is a classic.

Agreed and with Toy Story Midway Mania now around I much rather see the space in Tomorrowland used for something else.

My point exactly.
