Galaxy's Edge isn't necessarily a bad land but it doesn't fit as part of Disneyland at all. The difference in scale and setting is just too jarring when compared to the rest of the park. I imagine it fits much better at DHS.

(Oh, and Smuggler's Run is redundant rubbish).

Considering GE was designed for DL and just copied/cloned/plopped down in DHS, I say it fits meh-ly. The shape of the land at DHS is very telling since it borders ROA at DL.

I still like GE down in DHS (only version I've been to), but would've been nice if they created a whole new unique land there, but I love ROTR too much that idk what we would've gotten if they went that route.

I just can get past the scale, which inarguably fits DHS better even if that's not the park the land was designed for.

If you pretend that Star Wars isn’t an IP and that Galaxy’s Edge is just a space port on an alien planet, it’s pretty good and fits Disneyland just fine.

I hate that it cut off the river and the best place to eat at DL. But I'm glad it's off in its own corner that I never have to go to so I just forget it's there. :) But I still think DCA needed that land more than DL did.

I personally felt the change to ROA was a bold, risky move. But the change has entirely made the views more beautiful. We now got a modern take of the Cascade waterfall.

100% agree with this. While the land has its issues, its integration into the park is extremely tasteful.

I’m pleased that so much care went into preserving, and arguably enhancing, components that could have easily been destroyed.

Hong Kong’s second gate was canceled when they announced their current slate of developments for the first gate (ugly castle, Frozen land, post Iron Man Marvel offerings) and LegCo has rescinded Disney’s rights to develop the second gate parcel.

Hong Kong is a real mess. Disney lost land rights and the second gate site is a covid quarantine facility. Caveats on the land mean that it will be hard for another developer to do much with the land. Honestly Disney needs to go all in and create a full resort or close the park and walk away so the infra can be developed for housing or something else which will benefit hong kongers.

In California the argument is less ‘should‘ or ‘could’ and more ‘would‘. Disney could build a third gate but they probably don’t see the ROI as justified.

Paris is the interesting resort. I believe there is a contractual need to build a third gate but Disney keeps getting the date pushed back. At some point it may well become a hong kong ‘build it or loose it‘ situation

I was just thinking, because I like to waste time, about what could a third gate park even be themed to. My best answer to this is the theme of great heroes. It’s vague, which gives Disney plenty of room to throw in IPs, yet it’s distinct enough to not have to worry about Toy Story Land.

Marvel is the obvious inclusion for such a park with a land themed to 1960s New York City, featuring an Avengers E-Ticket, Spider-Man swinging coaster with a queue in the Daily Bugle, a Doctor Strange ride similar Mystic Manor, an Iron Man exhibit in the 1964 World’s Fair. A New York themed hotel could serve as the skyline for the land.

More than just Marvel, the park could have an Ancient Greece land as its central land. Hercules dark ride, of course, with an Odyssey themed boat ride and Fantasia gardens. Complimenting the rest of the park could be other lands based off heroes of history and myth. Maybe a Colonial Land themed to the Founding Fathers with the Hall of Presidents. In a perfect world, Galaxy’s Edge would go here, too.

I know it’ll never happen and if we do get a third gate it’ll just be 5 IPs land with no relation to one another, but a man can dream.

How wonder how much is Disney in vested in Hong Kong or China for the matter? Hong Kong really need more development to keep the interest going.

A land themed to founding fathers? HOP where they would have to build a new 45?

No chance in our current climate.
