Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Chef Kronk]

Isn't that photo different from the previously released concept art? I know that always happens but it is fun to look for differences.

Yes, this is slightly different.

This concept art of TSL is on a construction wall that is now up at DHS. But if you look to the upper left corner, you can see what looks like it could be the end of SWL. Pic courtesy of bioreconstruct on Twitter.

It certainly does look somewhat "Ewok-ish", but remeber that this is just concept art Disney has there and not a detailed map. That could very well be filler art.

Isn't the cast parking on the west and north sides of the park? I am probably wrong but i don't see how SWL could fit anywhere over there unless TSL is now shifted towards LMA/SOA.

You know, I am not clear on this now. Someone said that SWL would start at Indy and go into the cast parking lot, but I don't see any cast parking near Indy.

Also, is it my imagination or does that look like it could be another land on the fat left of the photo? Doesn't it look like an underground pathway entering from what looks like rock work? There are substantial differences in this photo the more that I look at it. Where is @danlb_2000? He is usually really good at dissecting these photos.

Looks like they cut out the middle building (which we basically assumed would be restrooms anyway) and all the trenches in the Slinky Ride (which, honestly, is just going to make the ride easier and faster to build.

It's concept art, I am not going to read much into it.

Cast parking uses all of the Television lot directly behind Indy.

Ok, thank, I was confused about that. So the original rumor was Echo lake extending into that parking lot, but now it appear that it will not take Echo Lake but go further into that lot?

So far as I knew Echo lake would not change.

I was told to expect SWL to use Indy, the backstage area behind Indy, and part of the Television lot.

Thank you sir, i didn't know that.

I know we should not read too much into a picture on a construction wall but this picture of the coaster looks a lot less interesting than the original to me. Losing the trenches would speed construction but definitely take away from ride experience. This version also looks like it has fewer hills with potential mild air time. I actually thought the original concept looked like a pretty good ride.

The area in question:

And the Slinky Dog does indeed look like it's had the Seven Dwarves Coaster treatment:

 

[Bob Harlem]

What does the new park map look like now, I can't think of a way to do it without making it seem ludicrously small after SOA/LMA are gone,

 

[Disneyhead'71]

Yeah, the track layout of the Slinky coaster is significantly different. It looks like the lift hill has become a launch, the trenches are gone, and some theme elements are missing. And the restrooms were cut.

I was told the budget ax was coming to this project. I actually heard that this project was the last nail in Bruce Vaughn's WDI coffin.

Check out the new map on the website. SOA has been replaced by many trees...

Just assuming at this point, but if the latest art is closer to what we get, would that mean the coaster will have two launch points?

 

[Haymarket2008]

That "land on the far left...it looks like there is an underpass of sorts to enter into it?

 

[Rteetz]

Ok IF Star Wars land was moved over to the streets of America area. Where would phase 3 go if it's still happening?

It looks like it.
