Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

And then the delayed mouse ride.

Rat. Mouse. Ha.

Oh yeah I forget about that one so we have two trackless rides opening the same year ?

I’d expect hours extensions for WDW in December now.

Should be a particularly crowded holiday season at WDW.

I know I’ll get flamed for this, but I hope there is an upcharge so I can guarantee entry. Should be a zoo at Christmas.

Don’t worry about an upcharge. Disney will just raise ticket and AP prices across the board.

Again.

The question is.... will Galaxy’s Edge have a Darth Vader problem? Will the audience not care if he isn’t around in the coming years when they buy a ticket to Galaxy’s Edge?

According to USA Today back in 2018.
Darth Vader is the most recognized character in Star Wars. Han Solo..2, Luke Skywalker 3.... with the new trilogy Rey comes in at 11. Finn at 17. Ren at 18.

Is that a problem going forward for the new land? Or does it even matter?

Where does Hondo Ohnaka rank?

I do think it’s less embarrassing to delay MMRR than RotR. I had been under the impression that D23 was not possible for DL as some had suggested, but January is laughably bad. At least for once, WDW will get first dibs. We’ve been the ugly stepchild for years.

I had originally expected our entire land right around December 1 until they decided on the split opening, so WDW appears to have stayed on target pretty well.

Would you open a Harry Potter expansion at a park worth 1.5 billion dollars and not have it feature Harry Potter? Would you give the green light to having that expansion star Dobby instead?

This is more on par with Universal opening a Fantastic Beasts area instead of a Harry Potter area. Ironically, Disney's approach to Potter was going to be a Care of Magical Creatures petting zoo and a dark ride.

As far as I know both had the same tech issues, and DL had the H&S issues on top.

Pardon my ignorance, but what does H&S stand for?

This ugly step child thing is getting old. Like literally when is the last WDW and DL opened the same lands together ?

Honestly, I don't mind paying for a hard ticket for this. I was going to get one for Very Merry Christmas, but I think I'll hold off for now to see if there's some kind of EMM (or even better, a nighttime event) for Galaxy's Edge.

They seldom open lands. But rides? Midway Mania and Mermaid immediately come to mind.

You had Dec 5th in the prediction thread. You win from a certain point of view.

So because Disneyland version opened first we are the ugly step child ?

 

[jt04]

What a cluster.

Original dates were DL August 29 WDW November 29.

They could have rushed the technology before ready like that park to the north. Uni.

To be quite honest, looking at the Florida aerials has me biting my nails. There's still a lot of theming to be done. @marni1971 They're not taking any shortcuts with the theming in Florida, are they?

Where do you see that? I don't remember these things.

 

[Bleed0range]

Why does it feel like everything is going wrong with what should have been a slam dunk.

Star Wars Land Opening Date Contest

So now that we know that Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge will open at DHS in “late fall” 2019 (incredibly exciting) I figured it would be as good a time as any to start a contest thread to guess the opening date. Similar to the Pandora and Toy Story Land contests only one person per date. I’ll keep a...

Wow, DHS is the better SWGE for sure. It's bigger and has RotR opening sooner.

Definitely not sarcasm at all. For sure. For reals.


*Going off the old jokes about one of the lands being bigger*

Likely because you spend too much time reading anonymous posts on social media.

I don’t think the delayed opening of ROTR being announced by Disney counts as anonymous. The fact that there are so many “anonymous social media” posts complaining in the first place is because they f’d up this lands opening.
