Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

@marni1971 will the Battle Escape vehicles have more movement than what we’ve seen so far in the other trackless rides?

It doesn't appear they will have pitch and yaw, but perhaps will be able to rotate?

So I'm sure this is explained somewhere in the 759 pages of this thread, but can someone explain to me what type of ride Battle Escape will be? Is there a similar type of ride in another themepark around the world?

I’m imagine movement wise like Mystic Manor, on a scale we haven’t really seen. They could surprise us though with more thrill then we expect.

So basically a ride along while watching/being immersed in a story taking place?

Imagine weaving in and out of show scenes, the ride vehicle turning around as action takes place around you.

We know that there are elevators which will possibly add a bit of a thrill, but we've been told previously that they will not be used like Tower of Terror.

The movement couldn't be anything like this, could it?



The ride vehicles we've seen don't look like they have a motion base, but it would be cool.

"Smugglers Run" is a typo, right? Shouldn't it be "Smuggler's Run"?

 

[cinderellafan6]

Forgive me as I am sure it is already mentioned here but are both the rides in Star Wars Land going to simulator rides? I was curious since I got sick on Flight of Passage in Pandora. I can't handle those type of rides. Just trying to prep myself LOLOL

I think it's fine as is, even though I agree the possessive version would work better. "Smugglers Run" = a run that smugglers go on, not necessarily a run that belongs solely to smugglers (which would be possessive)?

Neither are quite like FOP. MFSR is like a mini Star Tours simulator while ROTR is more like Spider-Man or Transformers.

In English, bare nouns are often used as adjectives, such as Kitchen Calamity, house meeting, snow drift, breakfast plate. The thing is, when that noun-as-adjective is plural, we hear it as a possessive rather than a plural noun used as an adjective. So, there are relatively few examples of a plural noun used as an adjective. But, it is allowable in English.

E.g., one can find "witches brew" used often enough on the Internet without the possessive apostrophe. This kind of usage occurs when considering an indeterminant ownership (any witches) as opposed to belonging to specific witches (MacBeth's witches' brew).

Perhaps in the SWL story, this 'run' is one often taken up by any group of smugglers... a smugglers run.

Whats wrong with it?

 

[ThanksPhoenicians]

Seems like somebody over at DHS is struggling with apostrophes.

Whats wrong with it?

"Thats" is missing an apostrophe. Should be "That's" as a contraction of "That is."

 

[MisterPenguin]

Whats wrong with it?

From what I've been gathering, it should say "The Great Movie's Ride."

I agree on both counts. Our insiders haven’t given us many clues on this one (unless I missed them).

Even if not a multi-axis motion base, it could have some kind of “special tricks.” For instance, the Pooh’s Hunny Hunt vehicles bounce up and down during the Tigger scene (if I correctly understand how that scene works). These vehicles could possibly shake, vibrate, have in-vehicle effects (like how Mummy has the “beetles” effect), or the like.

Alternatively (or in addition), the vehicles could attach to a platform that has additional motion (we already know there are elevators). This kind of external motion might be what happens in a “Kylo encounter” scene, a “return to Batuu” scene, etc.

They could theoretically roll into something similar to FoP as well...

Not sure how accurate my source is but they've told me that the elevator lift to the second floor will take place during the AT-AT scene... starting from their feet and then suddenly launched up to be at eye level..... They claim this rise upwards will be a mission breakout style launch but take that with a grain of salt... Not sure how the descend down will be but I remember reading somewhere a while back that it will be a "controlled" drop..... I've also heard that the unload station will partly be outdoors.... I've tried to check photos of the model to confirm but have a hard time. Maybe @marni1971 could confirm or deny?
