[Wall-e]

This is my first attempt at reporting or regurgitating news so forgive me if it's been posted or if I'm going about this wrong. It appears disney is announcing something this week regarding star wars land and it's not at hollywood studios.

The Star Wars replacing Toon Town rumor has been around for a while, but the news of an announcement is new.

This is news alright. I hope this doesn't mean WDW isn't gonna get Star Wars.

No, they're going to, they're going to have to go big.

 

[chemicalart]

WDW will get more SW...one way or another. Too much money to pass up.

That's my only hope. (Couldn't resist)

My wife actually brought it to my attention for that reason. It makes it unlikely but considering the popularity not impossible to have a Star Wars land on each coast.

Maybe they're waiting to see if the movie does well to put in a WDW version. Or, worse, they could wait to see if the Disneyland Star Wars land goes well before they put it in WDW. We may have to wait quite a while.

It's going to be a huge cash property and, given the right park concept
, could support it's own gate, imo.

I would love a Star Wars 5th gate. but they need to work with the other 4 and get those up to code first. They've got a long way to go.

Cloning is cheaper, I suppose?

Yep, just ask the Empire.

Money being the root of all things, a successful 5th gate could provide the monetary resources necessary to bouy the needs of other parks. Not to mention that a fresh and attractive park option would be good for the attendance all of wdw resort as a whole.

I find it funny they're shoving Star Wars into Toontown's spot at Disneyland yet we likely have to wait until 2020 (according to PhotoDave) to get anything at Hollywood Studios where they, you know, do Star Wars Weekends, already have a very mini themed area .... sigh. They can't put a rush on this for both parks at the same time? Maybe even do two unique planets from the SW Galaxy so both parks get something exclusive to them? I guess that'd be asking too much LOL

 

[janoimagine]

Yep, just ask the Empire.

I think you mean Emperor.

Edit: If you read the books.

 

[Matt7187]

Im fine with everything but ToonTown getting the axe. Please don't do take it!! I love Toontown. It just needs some love, not to be taken over by SW.

 

[Kman101]

So how will the DL regulars take it once they hear the news ToonTown could be going away (if this indeed comes to pass)?

 

[rct247]

I found it odd that Toontown would get the ax. If they were going to utilize parts of Tomorrowland along with it, what does that mean for Small World?

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

Fireworks??

Not much of an outcry. The only real loss is Roger Rabbit, which is a very well done and charming ride. Will be a shame to see it go.

The Slashfilm article is a poorly worded rehash of MiceAge's update today. There is no chance of Star Wars being announced on Friday - all that will be announced is the new Frozen stuff for DCA. A Star Wars announcement is a LONG way off at this point.
