Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Also, there seems to be now at least two "full height" areas, and a third that goes even higher- from basement to roof in the rumored elevator pit.

There are two full height ride show areas, yes. Only one will be apparent.

Not a stupid question... I'm not a huge Star Wars fan myself. This is an AT-AT:

These

*Facepalm*

This entire time I thought it was some sort of new ride technology...... lol

New aerials from bioreconstruct today. The AT-ATs are starting to go in.

Being in a huge room with two full size AT-AT's is going to be terrifyingly awesome. Sounds fantastic.

What differentiates these new AT-AT's from the existing one in front of Star Tours? Is that one not full size or something?

Compare the human compartment you see on the ground with the nearby heavy construction equipment. It's big.

FYI, the AT-ATs were installed in March at Disneyland. If we're looking at similar build order, Disneyland looks to be about 4 months ahead of DHS.

The build order is not the same. There are parts of the building that are closer to 6 months behind.

Do you think the different build order is a learning, or just a project management choice? If it is a learning it could speed things up...if not...then they still have some catching up to do. (Assuming they want them to open at the same time/season.

It could just be the way this contractor is doing things in FL vs. how things had to be done in CA.

The AT-ATs, at this stage, remind me of assemble-it-yourself furniture from some place like Office Depot. From my experience, I urge the onsite crew to double-check which side the dowel holes are on before screwing the legs to the body. Nothing worse than thinking you're almost finished and finding out you have to take the whole thing apart...

Choice.

Choice.

Hey if Florida opens as the same time as Disneyland, Bob Chapek doesn't get as big a bonus.

Afaik, this full height building section currently seen at DHS is the maintenance area.

Looking at the new photos, and dang, Battle Escape sure is close to Muppets. Closer than Winnie-the-Pooh is in the Disneyland version.

 

[LieutLaww]

Yup, very close

 

[DisneyJayL]

Great times. It'll be even greater once constructed. This has me really excited. Makes you hope you're still alive once they are done.

 

[Kamikaze]

The build order is not the same. There are parts of the building that are closer to 6 months behind.

And if you go simply by the first vertical construction, its closer to 7 months.

That's the plan. The covered queue structure is a fire lanes width away.
