Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[HauntedMansionFLA]

This was basically made for the Star Tours vehicles

Would it even be possible to re theme ST into a muppets ride? Is Muppets courtyard close enough to even to pull that off.
Hopefully we will start to get some video footage of the SWL area like the video coming in showing the DLR worksite.

It could be a Muppet - Star Wars mashup: "I Felt the Force"

I appreciate the pun usage

Is that even a possibility for Star Tours to be Muppets?

Do we need another Muppet thread for this discussion? ????

I don't believe there is any credible information that this is being thought about, just fan Imagineering.

Indeed.

So it's confirmed, Star Tours will be rethemed to The Muppets and it will include random sequences and be inspired by the fake Muppets movie posters.

OK, I know we're joking here, but that would be awesome.

That's honestly probably the next best thing since we're never getting the Great Muppet Movie ride. Too bad it won't happen though.

art nouvou tunnel entrance will take the path through a berm in an S shape into SWL.

If they're keeping that "wall" of Streets of America, I'd personally love to see the street "dead end" in the facade of a movie theater. The movie theater has a marquise edged in chaser lights with the words "Now Playing: Star Wars" on the marquise. The front of the theater adorned with movie posters of current and former Star Wars movies and possibly a "Coming Soon" section with a poster of the next coming Star Wars movie. You enter through the "front doors of the theater", but once inside, it's a mostly plain, mostly dark tunnel except for one LED lit sign hanging from the ceiling in blue lettering that reads "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...". As you round the corner out of the tunnel, you are greeted with the grand site of the land with the Main Theme from Star Wars playing on a loop as the first music you hear... could be really awesome if they took that route...

Isn't that Disneyland and not DHS?

Nah, they put in The Matterhorn in DHS last week.

Ahhhhh.... My bad. This is what happens when looking quickly while riding transit and looking at things too quickly.. I will take the post down.

 

[Goofyernmost]

Gee thanks, I was so confused about how it got to Florida. OR, perhaps I was wondering why pictures of Disneyland were included in a thread about DHS with no identification of such. Do we want, what's his name, to be getting all excited because DHS is way ahead of Disneyland and it will be opening the middle of next week?

Has it been asked what exactly the ride mechanics will be on both the Falcon and the Battle ride?

The Battle ride will be a Trackless EMV style vehicle, and the Falcon will be more of a screen based simulator.

Awesome, thanks for the info!

Anything special about the simulator or something we haven't seen before?

@marni1971 can probably answer that better.

A combination of little things... rotating ride system (for capacity as opposed to show experience), multiple exterior projection as opposed to a single in cabin screen, that kind of thing. And of course a more intimate experience.

Sounds like the best part of Mission: SPACE (the intimate experience) with better tech. For clarity I assume the rotating ride system isn't to simulate motion (like Mission: SPACE's centrifuge) but for throughput as you said.
