/film's thoughts on the model and an extensive look at what it offers according to them. They also have pics of the 2 other entrances.

Great article. And regarding their wonderings about all the ships they spotted...please, Mickey, please let the ships be interactive!

Look at this huge backstage entrance and large door.

I wouldn't expect a parade- but it appears there will be some vehicles or stages that will come out on occasion.

I figured that to be the Battle Escape exit when I first saw it.

When it comes time to expand SWL(and you know there will be a need to make it bigger), what is more likely to happen...

1 - Additional capacity for Battle Escape and/or MF

or

2 - A 3rd attraction

???

3rd attraction.

Disney already has direct access to my bank account and at least two of my credit cards. I basically go to work to send money to Mickey. Lol!

You may have heard this saying before but it is so true and cannot be said enough, IMHO...

"Disney World. A people trap built by a mouse."

Anyway, as a huge SW fan I am super excited for what's to come with the SW Land. I expect there'll be waits close to what FOP had when it opened.

3rd attraction.

Do they have an idea for 3rd attraction? Or just a possibility of adding a 3rd?

with all the trees, mountains and buildings. It seems one won't have to worry too much about direct sun.

That's even more reason to avoid a redo of Tatooine or planets that are more open.

This is one of the things I like about Diagon Alley, it literally feels 5 to 10 degrees cooler when you walk into the land. Based on the SWL model I think a similar thing could happen here.

 

[danlb_2000]

I wonder if they can do gun fights like the old western theme parks and ghost towns... basically block off areas for a show and have storm troopers shooting "blasters" at han solo and Chewbacca and them shooting back. with disneys imagination and budget this could be really cool, with blaster bolts and explosions.

This is exactly the sort of thing they talked about doing in the land during the presentation at the Star Wars Celebration convention a couple months ago.

Except for that one guy on this thread that paid literally zero attention to the plans and set himself up for disappointment.

That and the twitter experts who still argue its bad for Disneyland. Now arguing swl is TOO good so it will ruin existing Disneyland scale and techniques

This is probably how they are going to deal with over crowding.

LOL I was letting my inner little kid dream!!! That could be amazing!!

 

[SpoiledBlueMilk]

The fact that you can walk around a static display of an X-Wing and an A-Wing just made my year. My wife will need to pry me away from this section. My childhood Star Wars dreams have been realized!

I'm jealous of all the cast members who will get to play Star Wars all day for a living. Makes me wonder if I can afford to live on cast member wages....

I am pretty sure I could.

The wife and kids might have a different opinion.

 

[twebber55]

looks great
scale is huge
it will be interesting to see an entire new land that we ve never seen in a movie become a theme park land

You and me both - doubtful, but I could sacrifice.

3rd attraction.

Interesting. I would've thought increased capacity would be more likely, since that seems to be more of how things are going (with rides like Soarin' and Toy Story), and I am actually ok with them doing that, as it does help cut down wait times. I'm sure any true addition would be years off, but I like that they would possibly be open to it.

So Disney had my money when they announced this... but WOW this just looks so amazing, so many details it looks like a miniature of one of the sets from the movie. I can not wait to see it in real life.

Also interested to see what unique merchandise they come up with, if they think the branchee puppets are popular just imagine what a unique star wars themed item exclusive to the land would do!

Can not wait to see the presentation on Sat, here is hoping it's livestreamed for us all stuck at home.

I am very hype this morning. I don't know about you guys! WOOOOOOO!!

Unlike TSM and Soarin', the interior configuration of these attractions don't easily lend themselves to add ons. Shall we say.
