I hope so, I'm really fascinated by this whole ride system and exactly how many moving parts that make it up, it seems so simple yet so complicated!

I hope it's really big and isn't a bottleneck.
For a long time, it is almost certain there will be a switchback queue set up on Grand Ave to enter the SWGE. And the exit will be into TSL.
So, other than a thousand people in line in Grand Ave... no bottle neck at all!!

@marni1971 rarely do I ask you questions, but particular people on the Disneyland thread are trying to claim that DL has plenty of room for their Star Wars Land, while DHS's is grasping for space. They're using, as evidence, the fact that there's less room to the left of Alcatraz in DHS than there is in DL.
Could you give the reason for the difference? Or at least say the reason isn't that the land is "grasping for space" in DHS?

That's nothing a bulldozer couldn't fix in about 3 days. Realistically however, the expansion space for DHS is simply in a different location or locations as it were. There's space between Alcatraz and GRM unlike the Disneyland version which has a railroad, river and other stuff in that spot for example.

Not understanding the "grasping for space" theory simply because the Alcatraz queue is close-up to Muppets. This is due to transition layout whereas the DL version is positioned at a different angle with no buildings immediately adjacent.

Oh, I don't either, especially when all other evidence points against that. But, you know, it stems from bias. People looking for things they want to see. They'll be proven wrong in a year or two.
Problem is, I'm not that patient.

The entrance from Critter Country is a bit more meandering than the entrance from Grand Avenue. The extended queue sits more in front of Alcatraz as opposed to thinned out to the side. They wound up with an expansion pad where rivers of America isn't and didn't have a logical way to make a third entrance.
It doesn't mean anything other than they had to make some slight modifications to the clone designed for DL's long and thin behind the berm plot fit into more of a wider, but not as long square.
I don't really know what the point is other than this wasn't designed for DHS... but because WDW has so much space it was pretty easy to stick in somewhere without major modifications. Same for Tron and Rat. If the point is this wasn't designed for DHS, ya it wasn't really designed for DHS, but that won't really matter or effect the final product in isolation. And also because DHS won't be DHS...
Yeah, I'm bewildered by this train of thought. Why is it good or bad that one park has more or less space between a SW attraction and the nearest non-SW attraction?
Especially given the irony of such from a Disneyland fan, where some attractions are practically on top of each other

Yup, and then those same people would be whining about how DHS got a bigger land. You just can't please some people.

Because it was "Walt's park", that means they have to figuratively and literally splooge themselves over how amazing Disneyland is every time it's mentioned.
At least ours is going into the right park
You can make the argument that behind Frontierland and Fantasyland is the perfect place for Star Wars Land since it's based on a fairy tale mixed with western elements that's all set "Once upon a time in a far away place"

You could. I don't necessarily hate it there. My personal preference would have been a third gate.
