I guess I was thinking about the 4 hour windows that are set aside for resort guests. Isn’t that controlling the flow of traffic? Maybe I misunderstood the arrangement.
WDW has a lot more Resort Hotels compared to DLR. it’s not impossible but it would be interesting
The more I think about it, the more I feel once again we have a missed opportunity with star wars. Too small in the cantina and Savis. No table service (huge miss imo) and no coaster type ride outside. What will be there will be very cool I have no doubt. But I just don't see why they didn't make sure they had more capacity.
I think it would be extremely difficult to have a coaster in Galaxy’s Edge. The concept of the land is that you’re in the Star Wars world and I can’t think of any experience except maybe the speeder bikes that would lend itself to a coaster.
See, I think thats the same kind of thinking that disney has. The Imagineers are supposed to be the best in the world. I can think of plenty of ideas for a coaster type attraction. No one is asking for a huge steel frame coaster. We've established there are trains, on tracks in star wars. Something similar to the mine train, on a grander scale, would have been epic. With the landscape of black spire being very rocky, it would have been pretty easy to disguise the tracks. I see no reason how it could ruin the visual of immersion. You could enter in black spire and the ride could have out of any sight lines.
Even something along those lines while it may work thematically I think is too simplistic. I feel that every ride in star wars land should be enclosed. They should all push boundaries in some way. I know some people fell SR is just another star tours. But its hook is that you are actually somewhat in control plus the fact that it is rendered in real time. Being able to do that is a serious accomplishment. RotR from all insider accounts looks to be the new standard of theme park rides. The next addition needs to be on that level, something truly epic.
So basically Black Spire Mountain Railroad?
Why can't a coaster push boundaries? I would say test track did. Im sure I'll like the Falcon ride, but pushing the boundaries would have been actually having the gunner spots along with the pilot being in full control...
Again, not a steel monstrosity, see my next post. To each their own opinion but for me this is way off base. The only way you would be right is if they slapped another chester and hesters in the middle of black spire. I am no coaster enthusiast, but lowest common denominator? That's just over the top.
I was more refering to the show scenes and theming of 7D mine train as the example. With tech like silent lift hills and launching starts, it could be very well integrated into the land.
I agree. Although in the case of Star Wars I think the goal was to avoid the rides theme selves from breaking the immersion. So everything is done in a way that it feels completely in world and not like a ride in the world. You are flying the “actual” falcon. In the case of Rise nothing feels like a ride but rather all in world experiences. Which is why trackless was imperative for this experience. I’m not sure a rollercoaster would world have worked the same. As wonderful as Hagrid is, it’s still on a giant visible track.
