Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

So that’s after the 2 hour line at the security line and the 5 hour wait to get into the land?

Assuming you get into the land that day. Or the park.

Speaking of queues/lines... How blatant will Standby/FastPass entrance signs be? Are they going for such a high level of immersion that they're going to try and give them an in-story rationalization?

This has always looked like it could be the entrance to a queue to me.

They’ll be clear but themed.

Pandora style?

I'd hope they're a bit better ingratiated into the land than Pandora's. FoP's is pretty blatant. I think the biggest touch to de-Disney-fy the FoP queues are the ACE logos on the magic band readers.

How's your Aurabesch?

How's your Aurabesch?

For $20 you can book an Aurabesch desert party, to teach you how to read Stand-by, Fastpass, Restrooms and other essential phrases. A laminated translation card and lanyard to take away and a light up souvenir cup.

Oh wait, the cup is an additional $10 .

In preparation for Galaxy's Edge I've just downloaded the Aurebesh course on Duo-Lingo.

(In all seriousness, I expect the english alphabet.)

Actually, Aurabesch *is* the English alphabet. Just with a very different typography.

A question, not necessarily to Martin, but in general:

So if one were able to score a FP for one of the SW attractions on opening day, do you think that it would allow you to bypass the usual line into HS to gain entry into to park/land?

We happened to be at WDW on opening day for Pandora and had a FP for the river ride, and thus were able to bypass the queue required to enter Pandora but we were already in AK. It was a zoo (so to speak) at rope drop, but the FP allowed us a glimpse in a very crowded day. I wonder what will happen at DHS opening day, in which it will probably difficult to gain entry into the park.

It was the same for TSL.

My guess is that for the first week month, it might be all but impossible to get into SW:GE without a fastpass.

They might do a return entry time for the lucky few, much like WWOHP did when it first opened.

That was the first thing that came to my mind when I read that post.

Now that would make the bathroom situation interesting.

Could actually be cool if signage was in Aurabesh. There could be a feature on the MDE app/ Google Translate to do an augmented reality translation.

Except for the 99.8% of the tourists who would be totally confused with having to engage their brains. I'd love it, personally, but it may just be too immersive.

I think google translate already does Aurabesh.

I am sure the mouse can make a call and get it back.

 

[drod1985]

Yeah, I don't think we need to go as far as Aurebesh signage, but structures that look more like the one in the model I posted would be preferred rather than fairly normal structures like FOP.
