Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[GoofGoof]

I think you are misunderstanding. I didn't saying it cannot be built upon. I am saying that according to @marni1971 the way Star Wars is being build, it "cuts off" access to the southeast corner. Which means to use it for on stage and allow guest flow to the area, they would have to tear down buildings that will be build for Star Wars.

Maybe plans have been modified and this is no longer the case. Admittedly, Martin's drawing seems to me to allow for some potential guest access to that corner in the future, but he's the one who has said it and I trust him unless he says he's learned something new.

I think they could probably add something Star Wars related. It would be hard to imagine adding something else and still have enough room to create a buffer between the new area and SWL.

Our bus has driven by DHS several times and I'm shocked of how much construction to taken place all over the park area inside and outside of the boundaries.

 

[marni1971]

I think the top expansion pad closer to TSMm could possibly be used for something Pixar related if they reopened the Pixar Place walkway. The back corner one would have to be Star Wars related. It's too small and hard to get to for a unique theme. What is that building that survived the demo? Could that potentially go as well to make the expansion pad a little bigger?

i think your exp pad in front will be a berm
exp pad to left definitely

The large building is park operations support, the small green building is the newly built pargo maintenance building.

So in a future phase both could pretty easily be relocated to gain additional expansion space.

I should add there are several sizeable and rather chunky buildings yet to be built in the south west area near to World Drive. These are support / BOH facilities and could impact any future plans for this area.

Marni what are your sources? You seem to have a lot of info. I do as well, possibly more than you, however due to how tight this info is, I won't reveal it. However, where do you hear everything you've posted?

There is NO coaster in SWL. That's a rumour made up by a troll to get people like @Siren to believe them. Just to be clear.

The land will have one simulator style ride and one ride style ride. The former will be a ride vehicle as opposed to a pure Star Tours style simulator.

 

[marni1971]

Marni what are your sources?

You'll understand I'm not about to say. I also sometimes play things deliberately vague in order to protect things and to retain the trust and respect I hopefully have from others.

What I post is also what I believe to be true at that time. As we know things can and do change.

However I do trust what I post, and I have good reason to believe it. I don't post about every rumour or heresay that I come across. Nor do I post everything I could. It's not a one man show!

 

[Monoblanco13]

As promised. I`m being deliberately vague again with detail, but placement and scale are correct.

White are buildings, blue is the extent of the onstage area:

Any possibility of you adding TSL to this as well? I know I ask for much, though I am having issues visualizing the utilized space. I understand if its not possible, thanks in advance. Side note how is SGE Tribute coming along?

I don't disagree, but, in all likelihood they have no intention of doing anything back there. They still need backstage to make the show work. However, if they did decide they wanted to use it, even if it meant tearing something else out, they would do it. In other words, there is no such thing as they can't use that area. I wouldn't be surprised if that temporary bridge remains and that is used for easier backstage access as well. My statement was more of a general one then a specific one.

Does Disneyland have expansion room too?

There's a small parcel next to Fantasyland and ToonTown, but that's rumored to be where Frozen will go.

I've done a similar top down composite for TSL. It must be in that thread.

SGE is looking and sounding very very good

What's the empty space north of the blue?

(Not real north, but above it from that angle.)

Empty space. Possible future expansion. Backstage service road.

Yay thanks can't wait!

Gotcha, so there's some kind of facade not otherwise indicated by white 'building' lines.

I believe it could be a landscaped berm as opposed to a structural build.

What are your opinions in terms of immersive/quality environment between DLs version and WDW? Will one be superior to the other or will the be pretty similar?

I think both will have great immersive environments. Each will have unique touches for each coast.

Like one will serve fish tacos and the other will serve gator nuggets? Both will serve blue milk, but on one coast it will be organic, free of antibiotics, and from grass-fed cows.

Gator nuggets are too outside the norm for Disney lol I would eat them though.

Fried gator nuggets are actually pretty good. I go to FSU (the Seminoles) and a lot of places serve them around the time we play our rivals UF (the Gators) as a joke. A bit like calamari but more meaty and chewy.

For WDW maybe. They have some really good ones at Carnation Cafe in DL.
