Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Anyone know how much earlier DL's version of SWL will open over DHS? I know DL has more work to do with the train/re-routing RoA, but they just seem much, much farther ahead.

@marni1971 has said six to twelve months.

Mr. Pam Hates Penguins Who Is Not Pam and Who Loves Penguins, I hereby request that when you are selecting images to render mock-ups of a future DHS, pick one that doesn't still have the hat. Or at least add a trigger warning. Thank you.

Add a trigger warning...LOL...

I don't know specifically what is happening with Mama Melrose, but there was a permit filed for the entire Pizza Planter/Mame Melrose building that doesn't expire until late next year. This leads me to believe that once Pizza Planet is done they will move on to Mama Melrose.

I wouldn't expect them to close Mama until January. It's very popular during the holidays and I'm sure they want to have it closed during the slowest season possible. Hopefully the remodel or refresh will include expanded restrooms as they are too small for that restaurant.

Not quite sur where to put these pics, so please forgive me if it's in the wrong place!

So I got my infamous pencils out again this afternoon to try to figure out how all this might fit together...

Doesn't look like there is any spot for a "phase 3"

Not here no. The original plan was to build more on the Animation building area but that changed when SWL moved from Indy.

As it stands phase three will be spread around the park as opposed to a new land or similar.

Never thought I would see the day this project happened. Amazing.

That picture would have been taken from roughly here:

Yep, that's my understanding as well.

I would be good with this phase three concept. Add attractions to different parts of the park that need it to spread the crowds out.

 

[Haymarket2008]

I'm extraordinarily curious as to where these new Phase 3 attractions will go. Obviously Mermaid, Beast, and Frozen can be enhanced or swapped out. But an available show building isn't coming to mind...

Even though they are going to be spread across the park there is nothing that says they cannot have buildings built for the attractions. It was only mentioned that they will be spread out instead of an entire land built.

 

[JediMasterMatt]

I'm extraordinarily curious as to where these new Phase 3 attractions will go.

If they don't firm up something soon and add prep work to the initial wave of construction (which still hasn't really gotten started in earnest), they will likely end up in the same place most other "phase 3" things end up with Disney Parks - a future coffee table book of other blue sky projects.

Although I still hear occasional pieces of news about it... the realist in me thinks that once TSL and Anaheim's SWL comes online, it's not going to happen as the draw will be there and we all know how little TDO cares about operational capacity these days.

If only I knew what that stood for.... *rolls eyes*

Nice! Demo really picking up pace.
Now why on earth didn't they fly past AK, while they were up there?

Haven't really been in this conversation. Could someone tell me what needs to be known or is it mainly the demo that's been done?

Right now it's mostly demo work. Permits for actual construction have been filed for Toy Story Land, but I haven't seen any for Star Wars Land yet.
