Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[cba]

Really, at Uni it felt more like the fat mouse over there farted.

I guess that means that Star Wars land really stinks for Universal

So hopefully Pixar is announced as well at 6

Screw Pixar, screw Frozen, screw Shanghai, just let the whole 90 minute presentation be about Star Wars.

In regards to the falcon ride and it being a personal simulator.
It is possible the ride queue is designed to Look like you are entering the falcon and then groups are taken to various cockpits.
The pilot control cockpit.
The gunnery cockpit
There will be multiple cockpits for the large crowds.
This could give an amazing personal experience like you are actually part of a team flying the falcon or its own gunner like Luke in ANH.

Just a thought....but how cool would that be?

I'm not expecting much there, but maybe Disney has one more surprise left in them.

So who here thinks this will kill Universal? Pack up shop. Go crying to Mom kind of thing?

Seconded. I'm actually not a huge Star Wars fan - but I'll stick with what I said when Avatar was announced. Liking the ip a ride is based on on is not a prerequisite to enjoying the ride if it's done well.

I am bummed a tiny bit about a specific ip based land going into Disneyland itself where everything else is general and that its gonna close toontown. But presumably this means tomorrow land is safe as well as the subs and a autopia which I think are the more important things to save.

I'm not a huge Star Wars fan myself - JAWS was my thing, Close Encounters too.
This brings up something interesting...
As a huge fan of JAWS, I had very little interest in Uni's JAWS - because I thought it looked very poor.
Especially the shark in his earlier iterations.
Star Wars (Star Tours and the Jedi Academy) in Hollywood Studios works very well for me and this new Star Wars land is just going to hit it out of the park.

Why don't you ask the people on the Uni thread.

I predict this will end Universal and they will destroy all of their parks and burn Harry Potter down to the ground...




And give the Marvel rights to Disney.

But, but... Star Wars has nothing to do with the theme of Disneyland park or Hollywood studios - what does a foreign planet based on a specific ip have to do with a park about general themes or making movies? This completely ruins everything! Plus the movies are crap - just a western in space and its just gonna be star tours 3.0 and a fancy spinner.

^sarcasm

Probably should put it in frontierland then.

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

Isn't the Disneyland Star Wars land going to be away from their Star Tours? So I would assume that Star Tours will remain the same

Lol I see you've been taking it quite hard anytime someone has made a SW vs HP comparison over the last hour. Take a chill pill.

This ain't gonna kill Uni. They are doing a fine job with their park. The competition is good, hopefully makes both push the envelope.

Just saying, it's usually a good sign for your theme parks presentation when you announce rides for your biggest franchise in your movies presentation...

 

[FutureCEO]

Only 2 ridesss...

Star Tours can be moved, quite easily in fact.

I imagine this bothers universal about as much as fun spot does. In the same way universal bothers Disney much less than everyone likes to think.

 

[Captain Neo]

Is the planet created by the imagineers or is it from the new movies?

 

[vinnya1726]

Rereading the press release it say two signature attractions, not two new signature attractions. Makes you wonder.

I was thinking the same thing...and you also have to wonder if that 14 acres includes Star Tours or not, here's hoping that Star Tours is not included and we are getting an additional 14 acres. The Parks and Resorts panel should be interesting.
