Star Wars Griefing Thread (SPOILERS) - Safety off

[Creep3r]

When you say the parks are identical, I assume you mean the Florida GE will be identical to the California one, rather than the overall Disney park. 'Cause I know Orlando incorporated some differences from Anaheim (particularly in terms of infrastructure; Orlando has that underground facility and tunnel system, and I don't know if Anaheim has that).

I was also under the impression Orlando had more room to work with than Anaheim did, and that they were using Anaheim as a stalking horse before moving ahead on Orlando construction.

This is dumbfounding, though. Amazingly bad. I'd almost think the strategy was a 'Springtime for Hitler'-esque deliberate attempt to fail.

Yeah I was referring to GE which confuses me to no end. The only difference between the two is that the Florida one will have the scammy hotel. Otherwise both GE parks are identical in every way, with the same planet, same town, same characters and same ride(s). I mean why do this? You have enough cash and imagineers to at least come up with something unique and have two different planets for people to visit or have one park based on sequel garbage and one based on pre-Disney material so most everyone can be happy. So why not just do that? Although, something I read months back (although I can't remember if it was an article linked on reddit or Making Star Wars so take this with a big grain of salt) mentioned that Disney made both parks identical out of fear that there wouldn't be enough room for so many people in one park, so they built two identical ones to avoid overcrowdedness and with the hopes of setting up some kind of new and "revolutionary" reservation system so that "everyone could enjoy the wonders of the park and not feel excluded" or something like that. I can only look back dumbfounded at how smug and overconfident Disney was to actually believe this. So I have to wonder, if both parks flop but one has somewhat slightly better crowd numbers than the other, will they close down one and replace it with something else unrelated to SW or remodel it completely?

Also here's a pic of the Florida park under construction as of the first week of June 2019. Its supposed to be ready by August 29 2019.

The Florida one is being built at Disney's Hollywood Studios and is replacing Streets of America. One notable difference between the two is that the Florida one won't have a reservation period that will last a month.

Once again an answer pops right out as to what they should have done instead of copying the pathetic GE area at both parks.

California gets a Rebellion themed base and Florida gets an Imperial themed base.

Now fans have a reason to visit both parks to get two whole different experiences with different rides, restaurants, and characters.

Cmon Disney just hire everyone in this thread and we can try to salvage what's left of this dumpster fire.

Fucking SJWs won't be satisfied until all American values and culture are destroyed, even down to the parks!

The Rise of the Resistance ride (aka the Kylo Ren ride) which isn't even open yet was initially estimated to have waiting periods that would last 8 hours or more. Now the estimates have dropped to 4-5 hours.

Given what we have seen so far with the wait times they should probably revise the estimates further.

I think there's also E: "This movie was too smart for the average movie goer", not verbatim, mind you, but they will insinuate that IX might have been too smart anyway. They tried the same nonsense with TLJ when they paid for reviewers and journos to jerk themselves raw over themes in TLJ.

This is a good point and there are already hints that this will be in play

Links to the articles are in the description

So now my choice will be 'F: all of the above' which also works pretty well for the entire thread...

It would be cool if a band of tusken raiders ran into the park and started beating people with gaffi sticks, and them they had to send in some actual Stormtroopers to cleanse the place

Even better, Anakin doing the genocide thing.

Aren't they not allowed to have Tusken Raiders in Disney Star Wars (outside of IIRC some lesbian Tusken chick who BTFOs a bunch of men) since Tuskens are now considered an offensive Islamophobic reference to Arabs?

But seriously that would be a cool hourly show. The Tuskens invade the park, there's some bantha animatronics, and it's up to the stormtroopers to restore order and save the guests.

Of course California gets a shit park since it’s a shithole state.

Please tell me you're shitting me, I don't think I can take the idea that Tusken Raiders are now too "problematic".

So fun fact:

Galaxy's Edge was so toxic that is is actually driving down Disneyland attendance in general. It's that radioactive.

I didn't think fucking up a single part of the park would basically make people not want to touch the park as a whole but somehow the mad men did it.

 

[Maggots on a Train v2]

People who don't give a damn about Star Wars have probably been planning around the opening month(s) since it was announced. Good going, Disney.

Well got some news for today. Despite the earthquake, Disney had things back up and running again relatively quick. The park is still underpopulated, but one thing that did stand out is that there were a lot of really fat and morbidly obese people in scooters. Most of the streets were either empty or moderately full except Smuggler's Alley which seems to be what attracts the most crowds because my friend says it looks a bit like Tatooine. The Falcon ride was at a 90 minute wait even though the lines were still non-existent or short and the "waiting queues" and extended waiting queues (for when the ride was actually at over an hour back during the reservation period) are still closed and eventually it dipped back to around 30 minutes. Just so you know, the waiting cues for extra long lines are past two giant metal doors that lead to the back area of the park which were complained about because they break the immersion as this back area is the loading area where trucks drop off cargo and where you can see that the mountains in the park are fake. So much for that stupid dedication to immersion.

Pictures of the back are now very rare since the extended queue hasn't been used since the opening days.

Also I'm guessing the popcorn isn't selling well because they put these crates containing them in the waiting area in some kind of advertising gimmick I guess.

Meanwhile, people still don't give a shit about Vi Moradi. She can be walking among a crowd and no one will give a shit since most people think she's just a tourist. She's such an awful character and acts like a self-centered snob, but I feel horribly sorry for the actresses who are forced into the role of this bitch that no one cares about.

The Pet store is mostly porgs and spiders now where the more popular shit once was. No one wants the Rathars either (the shitty not-dianoga from TFA). And the Toydarian toy store is also getting filled with Porgs and they've started replacing sold out dolls of Ewoks (only ones that people seem interested in) with ones from the Star Tours gift shop.

As you can see here, we have the Ewok dolls straight from Star Tours bearing the old label rather than the GE one. Seriously, its not like people are clamoring for these things yet Disney didn't have enough sense to order more than just Porgs? They made so little of everything except Porgs. I'm more convinced than ever that TLJ's bullshit about creating Porgs to replace Puffins was a load of crock and were included in the film solely to advertise all the shitty dolls in the park which were probably created in an executive board room.

Edit: Also all these ewok dolls do is make the already shitty toys look even shittier by comparison.

I am afraid that a lot of fans will rationalize that "I have to see how this ends" or "Maybe Disney changed"... usually, fans that have been turned away will be really hard to win back, but Star Wars Fans might be too fickle to pull through with their boycott.
Star Wars as a brand is big enough that a lot of normies will watch it, but whatever happens, chances of this movie making it big in China are slim at best. So one key market is DOA, the western markets might deliver enough viewers, maybe not...

I would love to see the reasoning when IX hits theatres like Solo and just bombs hard. The Disney-shill salt and damage control will be off this world.

I think it’s actually the opposite. Fans like to think that their autistic “boycotts” actually mean anything but ultimately it’s the ”normies” that are needed to bring up those numbers. And normies are bored of Star Wars, they’re not going to go out of their way to spend $10-15 opening weekend to watch a franchise whose last two movies were mediocre at best.

I’m sure it’ll still get a *decent* opening weekend from the fact that it’s Star Wars IX, but once word-of-mouth gets out that the movie is merely *average* (if we’re being optimistic) those numbers are gonna drop off the cliff.

I just remembered a bit of obscure japanese theme park trivia. Back in the 90's, Namco had their own theme park called Wonder Eggs, and most of the rides were naturally themed after their video game franchises of the time, like Tower of Druaga.

The big motherfucker of all rides in it was Galaxian3, a combination of arcade light-gun shooter and hydraulic thrill ride that housed 28 players. Footage of it in action can be seen right at the beginning of this old promo vid, which I'll let speak for itself:

As far as I know, you couldn't game over. So you got to play the whole game without worrying about failure. Instead you were merely graded on how many ships you shot down, and also how many times you were hit.

Sadly the park was closed down and demolished back in '00, and the ride along with it.

Basically what I'm saying is Namco made the best Star Wars ride ever and Disney will never think to try anything like it.

 

[Godzilla@1989]

I mentioned this already, but I think Disney would have made a killing making a museum on the company's history instead of Galaxy's Edge. I think that people would go to see the history of the company and its current divisions instead of a mediocre park with average rides.

A Canto Bight hotel? Jeez, pick the least popular part of the most divisive movie. Imagine Disney adding Marvel stuff to their park and only covering Thor 2 in it.

Hahaha they're drowning in porgs and really showing that no one fucking cares enough about them to buy them. Get swamped by your porg dead Bob, get swamped and have no one to avenge you.

The MiB ride at universal is more of a funhouse ride, in that the cart you're in moves around, and you're shooting at the targets on physical creatures (more like a shooting gallery), the Namco one seems more like something you'd find at Dave and Busters nowadays.

The technology has existed for years, how could they fuck it up so much?

A hotel with Naboo architecture could've been nice.
