Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

[devinp267]

Yea, lots of misquotes from Sunday, that's why I only reported on what was in the official Press Release, and I rewatched the video a few times just to be safe. I swear if I see one more news story wrongfully announce that Wondrous China will be opening January 2020 I'm gonna scream.

Anyway, not to derail thread too much, but from official press release for GotG, last sentence:

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind will be the first “other-world” showcase pavilion at Epcot. The adventure starts in the “Galaxarium,” a planetarium-like exhibition that explores the similarities and mysteries of the formation of Earth’s galaxy and Xandar. Guests will be invited to learn more about the treasures Xandar has to share – until the moment when the Guardians of the Galaxy arrive, and adventures across the cosmos ensue. The attraction will feature a new innovation from Walt Disney Imagineering – a storytelling coaster that rotates 360 degrees to focus guests on the action, including the first reverse launch on a Disney coaster.​

So now we have a "story coaster" and a "story telling coaster"...I can't with these 2.

As someone else stated, all footage is from within the ride. Now if they beefed it up is another story, but you can use cold spark pyro for the pyro and humans can stick their hands in it... so they could use pyro.

My hesitation is those sorts of effects are the first to be shut off or never be activated. Hence my hesitation.

Also distwitter media is getting to enter the ride in Florida today.

Reminds me of the Jurassic world commercial that was all fake non-ride footage. People are gong to be mad when there is no pyro.

That's pretty dope, love the open hanger door into space :grin:

 

[Evan]

I’m honestly so excited for this ride.

 

[rhino4evr]

that looks fantastic.

 

[JunoSynth]

Woah. That looks amazing!

 

[LieutLaww]

Ohhhh mamma

I'm trying to make out some of the details. That's the ride vehicle on the right, correct?

What is the railing in front of the stormtroopers for?

the space in front of the storm troopers is part of the queue according to the video at D23 and insiders. We exit the transporter pre show into the hanger.

Correct it's the room we're in after our troop transport is brought on the Star Destroyer

I can’t see guest spending much time in that room. I don’t think it’s designed to hold guest in switch backs. more like you get off the transport and are ushered quickly into the pre show rooms before boarding.

Thanks @Frankyg123 and @JungleSkip
They're taking the Gringott's/Journey to the Center of the earth elevators to the next level, aren't they?

 

[DragonSlayer]

I love these attractions that are a journey through so many different stages and areas. We’ve gone from ‘great ride and also great queue’ to a point where they’re practically indistinguishable as parts of the overall experience. So hyped for this!

Yup, putting them on a rotatable track instead of just simulating movement from one place to another. It's definitely a nice trick

I think that railing is just an inevitable expectation that they will need to physically keep guests from walking in and around the storm troopers and taking pictures. A slight break is true immersion, but otherwise people would be all over these storm troopers

even so I can see people going under the railing and getting that Selfie either way. The “why we can’t have nice things” thread is gonna be exciting. Lol
