Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[azox]

I tried searching the forum and threads for the answer as i can't imagine this hasn't been adressed yet, but i'm afraid i missed it.

Can anyone explain the differences in the 'groundwork' (circular shapes and boomerang shapes) for the Falcon attraction in DL and DHS? Is it because of the water level/final elevation of the land and attractions?

In DL: 1 boomerang shape (right behind Battle Escape) and 2 circles)
in DHS: 2 boomerang shapes

I'm confused...

UPDATE... from this view you can see the second 'boomerang' in DL... but the question remains... why the differences?

From what I saw the boomerang shape is underneath the circles. it looks like a channel of some sort that goes from one circle to the other. So in the DHS photo you see both because the circles have not been started yet at DHS. In the DL version you see that only one set of Circles have been completed but the other one has not.

Exactly this, two different points in the construction. You can see the boomerang under the circles.

It would be great if they build a Star Wars Resort to go with it! https://www.dbl07.co/disney-star-wars-resort/

Maybe start thinking about "where" a parked [AT-AT] walker would be located.

Outside an Ewok village?

Thanks! That helped me to figure it out!

They will.

Is this resort all the fanboys are talking about. A 2-3 day immersive experience. Or is this just a "Pop Century"-like hotel w/ a Star Wars theme. I am hoping for the former. I bet the truth lies somewhere between the 2.

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

They will.

I thought that this was all just a rumor. When can we expect to get some more details on this?

 

[Can we go yet?]

I'm sure someone has asked this already, but what is the plan for the Launch Bay after SWL is finished?

My understanding is that it will be converted to something else, or demolished for something else. The theory being, why need a Launch Bay when you have an entire land that could integrate props or showcase upcoming SW projects?

The whole land is supposed to be a unified immersive environment, so something like the launch bay would not really fit in thematically.

@marni1971 and everyone... thanks for the info,

I have a couple of questions.

We know Alcatraz is trackless, but will it have vehicle movements such as Indy or Dinosaur or be static vehicles like Mystic Manor?

Do we know general capacities for Alcatraz and the Falcon ride?

MiceChat said in their article this morning that both attractions are in the 1500-1800 range.

Not bad, but not amazing either. It's going to be a madhouse.
