Disneyland’s Galaxy’s Edge

By Imperial Advisor Arem Heshvaun, in X-Wing Off-Topic

These attractions and land are also going to be in Walt Disney World and Disneyland Paris.

In fact the 2nd video looks like it might be WDW rather than DL.

I cannot wait. I will also be staying in the hotel regardless of cost!

Disneyland and Disney World in the same year, with some version of it planned to come to Disneyland Paris in a smaller form and to Tokyo Disney Resort based off the rumors of a Tokyo Disney Air park being made to join the already existing Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo Disney Sea. The second video is from Disneyland, they are further along in development and it matches up with it bordering the Rivers of America whereas WDW's version will be boarding Toy Story Land, and the area where the Muppet Vision 3D is located.

By the time they are finished Disney will of killed the franchise.

I personally have to wonder if at some point they might end up retheming the rides to the OT era if the ST era stays as divisive. I know they would want to make the place as inclusive as possible to attract fans, but at the same point the Yeti effect on Everest has been broken for years so who knows.

They continue to remove classic attractions and increase prices, but people are going more and more.

Wehn the deal for Pandora was announed, people claimed Avatar wasn't popular enough to be a hit in the parks. Pandora is currently the best themed land in WDW.

They know what they are doing, and I am sure the land will be great.

yea, I know they have 'issues' hitting capacity on their parks on a fairly regular basis so they are getting lots of people in there despite the steep increase in prices and some less than great practices (Charging you for parking your car at the their resorts now). Pandora still is an odd edition to Animal Kingdom, but it was a pretty land and the Flight of Passage Ride is amazing to put to it simply. And considering the line can get to 3 to 4 hours long it seems most agree with that sentiment. That said, I'm not a huge fan of some of the classic rides they have been getting rid of lately, and question the theming of some of the rides being added to lands especially Guardians of the Galaxy. That and continuing to get rid of rides that can chew through people quickly like omnimover rides infavor for rides that have much lower capacity. It isn't a bad thing to do unique rides with lower capacity, but it really balloons the wait times. Or the push for only creating IP based rides rather than original ones, granted that is more likely due to it being hard to get ride sponsorship from companies and them going with the safest possible ride that people will know and go to the park to see.

I would bet any re-themes, if done, would correspond to whatever trilogy is ascendant at the time. Pandora seems to have shown that the current popularity of an IP may not have an impact on how successful their lands are though. That said, re-skinning TFA and TLJ X-wings and A-wings back to their OT forms seems like it could be accomplished with a minimum of hassle. Either way, I can't wait to see how the "your choices impact your experience" - will it be app-driven, or will they adopt something similar to MagicBands to track movement/ride experiences?

And, oh the Yeti... Poor Disco/Muppet Yeti. At a Parks panel at D23(?) last year, the lead imagineer (Jim Rhode, I think? It's the guy with the very distracting ear-thing) said they would need to practically re-build the entire ride in order to correct the issues with that thing.

$15 for the Turkey legs now, it was never cheap but these days it's be super hard to justify to myself.

So lightsaber adult toys in every room!

I wonder will you have the option to pick what character you play?
