Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

May 4, perhaps?

I think the ticket discounting windows and AP black outs are more suggestive of Memorial Day for the actual public opening... but they could of course have the media blitz planned for then with some rolling softs.

I wonder if this will be the first paid softs.

Memorial Day is Monday, May 27. Pandora and TSL opened on Saturdays, right?

Saturday, May 25 is the 42 anniversary of Star Wars' theatrical release. Just sayin'.

And then there is always the old.... "May the 4th be with you!"

Over in Anaheim, the use of "Summer 2019" and blackout dates for APs would probably indicate a Friday, June 21 opening date.

In the preview video of Alcatraz there's that small black droid roaming around on the floor. Will it be part of the ride experience/story?

Just wanted to add to what I had responded with previously as there were in fact mouse droids seen in "The Last Jedi," so having them on the ride would be appropriate time-wise.

Muppets tonight at 7:30 pm - not a soul aroundView attachment 330195

Why would there be? The attraction closes at 6 PM...

Not to mention PizzaRizzo is also closed. It’s a dead end of the park with nothing to do after 6pm...that’s what makes me laugh about all these people thinking it’s just because the Muppets aren’t ‘popular’.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Its a Hollywood Studios tradition of having a dead end unused section of the park at night going back to Streets of America and Lights Motor. If that was to somehow become a used, popular night spot, it would destroy my childhood!!

Over on the Disneyland boards we have our favorite lady blogger, She's In Los Angeles, who always does a great job of capturing the latest construction action. I thought this might be of passing interest to a few folks here, if only to see what the DHS version may look like in a couple months. The vantage point of this video is the sixth floor of the Disneyland parking structure to the northwest of the park.

Google Maps satellite images for Bay Lake and Buena Vista have finally been updated again, offering a (slightly outdated, but still cool) view of the SWGE construction site (not to mention TSL, DS, etc). I’m on my phone so I can’t provide a link, but wanted to let you all know ASAP so you could go check it out.

I am seeing pictures from January, are you seeing something newer?

Google Earth is still showing Catastrophe Canyon and the whole backlot in all its defunct glory for me.

Try clearing your browser's cache.

It initially showed the old images when I checked on my computer just now, but then it showed the new ones after I cleared my cache.

Both my phone and my computer are showing January's satellite. I cleared cache, used different browsers, and used incognito mode... it's not a cached image. Even the Orange County Appraiser doesn't have an updated satellite map yet.

For Google Maps, to see the January image, you need to turn off "Globe" (i.e. 3D) in the menu.

For Google Earth, to see the January image, you need to turn off 3D by making sure Terrain and 3D buildings are unchecked.

Oh, sorry for the miscommunication: until today, I was seeing the really old image from before construction on SWGE and TSL began. When I cleared my cache, I was able to see "new" images from January. Apologies if the January images were seen/reported earlier!

It happens! Google also doesn't make the most intuitive and informative of interfaces.

They also like to obfuscate information. I'm never sure anymore what I'm looking at.

Google's services are getting more confusing by the minute. I think Apple's execution will be stunning with regard to their maps overhaul. In particular I'm curious to see what they're doing with street view plus Lidar. I'll be jumping ship if I'm right. Not to stir an Apple Google debate. I got tired of those a long time ago.
