DHS Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[schuelma]

Surely the mere mention of the name and some vague art is enough to have the fans drooling either way?

Now. Details. Timeframe? Cost? Specifics? Attraction descriptions?

Or just enough "news" to stop the complaints?

The park certainly needs it. It doesn't need to be part of a PR hype machine.

Agree- hopefully we get some more details in a few hours.

Did I miss the part about 14 acres at dhs???? My impression was 14 was only disneyland someone tell me I'm wrong..... the studio needs a major overhaul and this would be amazing

From the official announcement:

"Ambitious plans to bring Star Wars to life in the two parks include creating Disney’s largest single-themed land expansions ever at 14-acres each"

This is approximately 14 acres.

Wow, this 1000x as much information as I thought we were going to get, and we're gonna get more in the P&R presentation in less than 2 hours?! Ok, I'm going on the hype train

So what is being replaced at DHS?

 

[danlb_2000]

At the risk of being "that guy" could one of these "new" attractions just be a reworked Star Tours?

No details yet, there are a couple ways this could be fit in.

I would hope that Star Tours is moved into the new land...

Don't even go there...

I hope not.

For the IP and the scope I'd have hoped for more than just 2 attractions let alone that.

So glad for this news to be announced, but I can't help but feel a little slighted at only 2 attractions in the "largest themed land" ever!

 

[Pill Cosby]

What's a Star Wars? Is that like WW3?

 

[danlb_2000]

I would hope that Star Tours is moved into the new land...

Or for DHS at least, built around it.

 

[danlb_2000]

This will be a day long remembered!

 

[wdwmagic]

Now bring on the details please

 

[wdwgreek]

I wonder where those 14 acres will be shoehorned in DHS. I am super pumped, #itsaland !!! Hopefully the rides won't be all screens....

I wondered the exact same thing.

Based on the same "climactic battle" description, it could also be a plussed Jedi Training Academy.

 

[ctrlaltdel]

So it sounds like these are going to be the same in each park?

Don't know about star tours. I would think it would stay where it is in DHS, but what about in DL?
