Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Surferboy567]

Little off topic but...they plan on selling that rise poster correct? That poster needs to be framed on my wall, that’s masterful artwork and gets me even more excited for Rise.

You know I was thinking today. The real secret to Harry Potter’s success was that there was a lot of love and care behind it... and from the creator. J.K. Rowling demanded it be on this level and of this quality. She told them go back and make it better because she cared about it feeling authentic.

Star Wars land as described from Star War’s creator who has largely been shut out of any decisions on the franchise is, “Well.... it could’ve gone very wrong. But it didn’t. *shrug*”

Galaxy’s Edge’s biggest problem is it was made solely as a cash grab to create synergy. That isn’t actually where the heart of the Wizarding World came from.

Have you actually been to the land ?

 

[Bleed0range]

Have you actually been to the land ?

No. But I can still have an opinion about it from what I know. I’ll get there when there’s more than one ride open.

As someone who has been to both, it’s pretty spot on. Many people have said that walking through the q of hogwarts is an attraction by itself. Who has said that about the Falcon? And most of the ROTR q looks like it’s outdoors, but maybe there is a cool pre show in the cave like FOP has.

And I’m mentally comparing wizarding world when it opened to Star Wars... not the fully built version we have now.

Another point... you don’t have to buy a wand to experience the wand shop.

Who has said that about the Falcon?

Actually, a lot of people have. In fact I've read many a review that said the queue was incredible, the ride was meh.

Can we stay on target? We're discussing a land, not a film's politics.

I'd love to see pictures of what in that queue was "incredible" besides just the views of the Falcon.

 

[mikejs78]

Ok let's get back on track. This isn't a TLJ debate thread.

From what I’ve read, people think it looks good but “where is everybody?” That’s a complaint about the land, too. There need to be droids, aliens, etc. everywhere. WWoHP benefits from all of the guests in robes.

the queue was amazing from the engine and all its sounds plus the various characters you here while walking through and the chess room.

Nothing quite as immersive as getting to stare at this for 40 minutes.

Backstage overflow queue excepted...

I think the overflow queue is hardly ever used.

Backstage overflow queue excepted...

The real queue actually is pretty good. The chess room was incredible (if you don’t mind 50 people in there with you) and the Falcon was incredible. The ramp up to the second floor was neat. It’s just not long enough. You shouldn’t be going backstage for most of it when the line is only an hour long.

I waited 70 minutes, 40 of those minutes were backstage. Not sure how often they use it but I was very disappointed by that.

You won’t be once fastpass is activated

So this view is okay for 1,388 paying customers per hour anytime the Millennium Falcon wait time goes over 45 minutes long, but you can't have music in Star Wars Land because John Williams didn't live in that galaxy? I'm so confused. And not impressed.

Sweet "on planet" shipping containers on the left there - if only I could spend my lunch eating in one of those.....

How can it possibly go over 45 minutes when people say it is a ghost town?

apparently smugglers run has bad capacity. Also maybe crowds have started getting bigger?
