Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[DinoInstitute]

As it stands I'd expect to see a new destination added for eps 8 and 9.

So long as they keep them random and not the snooze fest it has become now.

Just because it only has one variation, as pretty much all other rides do, I wouldn't call it a "snooze fest".

Would the new episode destinations be thrown into the random group, or do you think they'd be like episode 7? Also, does this mean it's likely not to be replaced?

Considering we were guaranteed the episode 7 planet and BB8 each ride, it was boring compared to normal. No Tattooine, no Hoth, no Yoda.

 

[marni1971]

Have things changed on the Star Tours front?

Not that I know of.

 

[KingOfEpicocity]

With Star Wars land I'm curious to see (if they keep star tours) what will happen to it. That is exterior wise. A set of endor wouldn't cut it with a fully themed land next door.

Yep. Currently 6 variations as opposed to 54 (original roster of places) or 96 (currently at DL with the addition of the Ep VII stuff plus randomization).

The randomization is the best part, it's disappointing they haven't unlocked it yet at DHS.

They should have done an original adventure on Takodana instead of the stupidly anachronistic Jakku segment. Like you come out of hyperspace and Maz gives you a heads-up that some of her customers have already seen the wanted holos for the spy and you get into a pirate battle over the big lake.

Orlando Sentinel had a piece about the "you get out and walk around half way through the ride" aspect. If it's indeed true, then I am presuming that they have cars that can board wheelchairs, as even just logistically any other solution to that issue doesn't make much sense.

 

[wdwgreek]

We have all these charts and mock UPS of where the show buildings will be for Disneyland, do we have any similar overlays for DHS?

 

[Fox&Hound]

Not cool at all.

Why do you say that?

 

[doctornick]

Why do you say that?

Just a guess on my part, but I think Martin simply isn't a big fan of having a second Star Wars area in the same park.

Maybe you don't reboard. I don't know what would be the point of that though. I guess we'll see. I do know that Battle Escape is going to be insane! Can't wait. Star Wars needs a theme park presence as much as Potter and is getting it in the correct park. Super excited, and the amount of Star Wars fans in the US is ridiculous (I am one of them though as we all are). This land is not only going to be a game changer technically but attendance will spike on the same level as Potter without a doubt.

Why do you say that?

Echo Lake doesn't need ruining.

The park will have enough SW related things.

Nope. But according to rumors a year ago, it will replace Indy and Echo Lake. And everything else is being demolished.

That was two years ago and it was the original plan but it got scrapped after Imagineering got a look at Wizarding world and Diagon alley and realized their plans were not immersive enough. This is why the back half of the park is now gone. They needed more room.

 

[Master Yoda]

That is about as possible as dividing by zero.

It's actually slightly more than that, because there's now variations within the endings of Coruscant and Naboo.

Haha

I won't deny it could and should have been the fifth gate.

 

[KingOfEpicocity]

Do you really think having a gate themed after a single IP is really a good idea?

Depends on the IP.

Yes, there have been drawings posted in this thread.
