↩ replying to Marc Davis FanSo if it 'opens' in October would this be the official opening? If so could this mean possible 'soft openings' in September?

Amazing. Cannot wait. Also.......Kylo Ren AA CONFIRMED, baby.
And that brief footage of Rise of the Resistance is thrilling. Reminds me of the Alien section of GMR ;)

↩ replying to mergatroidNo idea about soft openings, and please consider my thoughts to be just conjecture!

Noticed that in the new ad that it said Fall 2019 for WDW instead of Late Fall 2019.
Could be nothing but it could mean they’re ahead of schedule.

I still don’t get it. The one ride looks like Star Tours. Of course that’s my opinion, not being familiar with this IP tho.

↩ replying to surfsupdonThere will most certainly be similarities, being that it is a Star Wars themed flight simulator. But that was a passive experience with 30+ year old technology. This is a small cockpit where you literally control the action with groundbreaking tech.

↩ replying to Marc Davis FanLet’s hope so got first 2 weeks of November booked on the hope of at least some soft openings 😀

Can't wait to see how the overal look of these lands will turn out. For example, I think it's interesting to see the difference in color and use of plants on the mountains between the video simulations, concept arts, model and the construction photo's. I also hope they can make it as dynamic and alive as it looks in these simulations.

↩ replying to Mr IncredibleBasically just like every other add-on land ever built at Disney
And we've known this for years
Pandora: 2 rides
TSL: 1 existing, 1 new coaster, 1 new flat
Cars Land 1 E ticket, 2 flats
Toontown: 2 rides
Critter Country: 2 rides
NOS: 2 rides
New Fantasyland: 2 new rides (just 1 if you consider SWSA was lost)
Also worth mentioning:
Africa: 1 ride
Asia: 2 rides
Sunset Blvd: 2 rides
Hogsmeade: 1 new ride on opening
Diagon Alley: 2 rides

↩ replying to Mr IncredibleFixed your typo. It will be years before the wait times drop to 2 - 4 hours

Devils advocate here -
Rise of the resistance looks like a ‘ratatouille’ type trackless ride. Is anyone really feeling pessimistic about this whole thing?
The land itself looks amazing, but let’s be clear, the rides are what will make or break this thing. For 2 rides why is the land massively gigantic?
Help me here.

↩ replying to TXRobTrackless RV is just the ride system, similarly to how Haunted Mansion and Arial are the same ride system. RotR will be much larger, more detailed, and feature more/better effects. There will also be other surprises that differentiate it.
Also remember: in this new land, BOTH opening-day attractions will be e-tickets (with RotR arguably being an “E+”).
