Seems like the Falcon will require a heavy use of screens, no? Interested to see how this will work.

DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

I'd imagine so.

any real precedent for this type of ride/ride system?
If I'm right, not really.
Again, if I'm right, it's a hybrid of several existing systems.

Best news possible, IMO. To me, the coolest concepts are the ones I have a hard time imagining.
Edit: As always, thanks for the info.

And the peaks of pointy rocky things.

So Disney is working with a new ride system? I thought they declared the industry "mature" in 1968.

I'm sort of picturing Omnimovers that are like the MF's gunners, with an interactive component like Buzz Lightyear. Idk, I really want to make that 'pew pew pew' sound.

Do we know how much later DHS's version will open after DLR's? the way I see it, DLR's will be like a soft opening to DHS's, in which they can learn more and work out the kinks of operation. This may or may not be helpful, but it seems like the Orlando version will be just a little bit shinier than Anaheim's. Their space mountain is much nicer and thought out after they saw the MK one. Just saying, IMO, a later opening date may suggest a superior land.
The predicted dates have been mentioned many times, just a page or two back most recently I think.
Your reading to much into the staggered opening. There really is nothing to indicate superiority. To the contrary, a read of this thread and a couple of others indicates that a "spend just enough" approach is now being taken. Don't get your hopes too high, it's a long journey ahead.
Oh, and DL Space Mountain is a better ride. IMHO of course, and there's a thread about that debate someplace as well.

Depending who you ask, rumor is that DL will open one and two years (maybe more) before DHS.

If Anaheim has to dig they had to start first anyway for them to open at nearly the same times.

But no one is suggesting they will open at the same time.

I doubt they have to dig. They want this open in 28 months there. If they were digging deep trenches, we would see them now. It may still be that their mountains (is that what they are?) will be shorter since everything is shorter out West. Even their ToT is smaller. Nothing is 199 feet there like in FL.

Just came across this from 2011 http://disneyandmore.blogspot.com/2011/05/all-about-incredible-star-wars-warring.html , A lot of the ideas seem very similar to what's being described here, especially the Omnimover ride vehicle
Note that this is NOT a Disney patent, Star Wars was just used for illustration purposes.
How are you defining dig?
How deep is deep to you?
Deep trenches? A trench can be a foot wide or 20, a foot deep or much more.
Required depth and width depends on many things. I'm not familiar with the geology of DL, so I don't know what's required for loads there. These aren't rhetorical questions, it's knowledge quest.
By standard industry definition, they've been digging. They've moved thousands of yards of dirt. They moved the berm to a new spot (temporary I'd guess). They've excavated for new utility vaults, probably already laid some new underground utils, forming up for various pours.
There's a whole lotta diggin' goin on round thar

Yeah. WI was at Disneyland last week, Luigi's was suffering a little.

Buzz Lightyear on steroids.
This would make Variable very very sad
LOL. That is a nice avatar. I've never been to Disneyland Paris before, it's on my bucket list though. The Ratatouille ride looks so amazing! And yes, I am that person who wouldn't mind a clone in the France Pavilion!I'll definitely agree on the attractions, that's an embarrassment for MK, but to be fair the best space mountain is in Paris as you can tell from my profile picI agree that Star Wars Land in HWS being inferior was a concern of mine, but now others' comments on it and @marni1971's sketch has pretty much erased my doubts. Anyway I think that the lands themselves will truly be epic clones and neither park will feel like it has been screwed over, but that's just my opinion. However this goes though, at least we will have Pandora to rival Cars Land, so it becomes a bit more level in terms of new additions.
Anyway, I totally agree with your post and I'm glad you're so optimistic, too. It really is the way to go with projects like this. So, I am just going to have fun watching everything progress with both Star Wars Lands.
Wow! That's great news. Taller is definitely better! Just like Cinderella's castle, lol.
Hi @NormC! Thanks, you are totally right. I didn't realize just how high the rocks were above the water. They're like mountains -- the rock work is gorgeous. And, I'm still curious about that mysterious boat design, though. It really does look like the Mike Fink keelboat.

I'll just say this about the Falcon RV system... I had it explained to me and I'm having difficulties understanding exactly how it will all exactly tie together.
Assuming it all works the way it's supposed to, this ride will be really impressive in how it will make exactly what you'd expect out of this ride happen. The magic is going to be in making it appear seamless and simple when it's really quite complex.
