Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

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

I dont think we currently have any details beyond the press release.
Star Wars themed land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

Only 2 ridesss...

WWoHP got one new ride in each phase. I assume entertainment isn't included here. These are the E tickets.

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

It is assumed it will go in the back of the park replaceing Toon Town, but nothing has been confirmed.

So glad for this news to be announced, but I can't help but feel a little slighted at only 2 attractions in the "largest themed land" ever!

Unless it is two epic rides. Star tours will make it three. We know the new rides will be very different then star tours.

New planet - at least one that is NOT in the movies. I assume it could be in books and stuff, though that is likely not the case either.

Its a combination of Lucasfilm Industrial Lights and Magic, and Imagineers.

I just wish this theme park Renaissance could have been happening in the 90s and 00's - you know when I had free admission, was growing up, and lived 10 minutes away.

I'm intrigued by all of the shops and restaurants being run by locals. It will be neat to see whether this is just normal CM costumes or plussed versions.

Would have loved 3 rides, but was only expecting 1 E-ticket. We may (emphasis on that) get 2 with this which is perfectly fine.

Only fairy Dusters....this kind of competition is what Orlando needs. ..bring on Pixar Nintendo Kong Pandora and Star Wars

Thank you. In the end, it's only good for everyone.

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

What does that have to do with the price of tea? How is that relevant? Who cares? Why would anyone want Universal to kill Disney or Disney to kill Universal? Universal and Disney being both successful helps the industry. Competition is good. The consumer benefits, Orlando benefits, the industry thrives with more to see and do, Disney and Universal both profit.

Enough with the "Who will win the War" junk.

 

[Steel City Magic]

My question is will it be two different starwars lands or carbon copies of each other.

 

[danlb_2000]

Only 2 ridesss...

Other then Carsland I can't think of a Disney park expansion that got more then two new rides. I am not sure when people's exxpectations got raised to expect expansions with more then 2 new rides.

So? This is Disney. The leader.

Tomorrowland WDW phase two. 4 attractions.

If anyone is getting killed, it's Sea World

Surely the mere mention of the name and some vague art is enough to have the fans drooling either way?

You would think. But when Disney fans have been starving for a decade, they salivate over scraps.

A date would have done a lot for my excitement. Especially one before 2020.

I like the idea of a new land. One of peoples concerns about a Star Wars land has always been, how do you pick which locaton to use since there are so many iconic locations in the movies. This solves that problem, create a new planet and give it all the Star Wars flavor.

 

[bakntime]

Star Tours can be moved, quite easily in fact.

I think we have different definitions of "quite easily."

Star Tours won't be moved. It may get re-themed (at Disneyland) to something else that's not SW, since that's an easy process to just make a new film that's themed to just about anything, but they're not going to move those simulators to another part of the park.

If anyone is getting killed, it's Sea World

You may have a point there haha

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.

I'm not trying to be argumentative, but isn't Mickey's Toontown a specific IP based land?

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...

seems to have worked.
