[Rumor] First Planned Attraction for Star Wars Land

[DoctorQ9]

Here is a proposed attraction for Disneyland's "Third Gate" park devoted to Star Wars. I uses a ride track similar to the one used at Universal's Harry Potter attraction but incorporates a unique gimbal-like ride vehicle.

I like this! Did you do it?

Dr. Q usually finds the Disney patents when they are submitted so its most likely theirs. Looks very cool I hope they use it

Unfortunately, no! This came from the patent application from Disney.

The schematic for a ride system came from the patent application. Did it say on there that this was for a Star Wars third gate?

Not on the patent app -- Disney typically doesn't go into that level of detail in a patent filing. But check out this concept art and compare it to the original diagram!

Re: First Planned Attraction for Star Wars Land

Pretty cool. I being a HUGE Star Wars fan would love a Star Wars Third gate. I know people will disagree with me, but I digress.

Re: First Planned Attraction for Star Wars Land

The fact that someone thinks is in someway related to a newly created Star Wars ride is hilarious.

But I don't think this patent is even from Disney. If I recall correctly, this is actually a concept from Premiere/S&S

EDIT: Its definitely a S&S design. Proof. This rumor is completely 100% utterly wrong

Re: First Planned Attraction for Star Wars Land

Although I am a Star Wars fan I am totally opposed to ANY Third gate.

I'm not someone who likes change especially when it's something that has to do with one of my favourite places on earth.

Ride design looks neat, but I hope it doesn't go anywhere Disneyland.

In that case what source do you have that this would be for a third gate?

It's too bad you feel this way. DLR needs to grow and it will grow. If it stays a two gate resort, it will eventually either stagnate and fail or will be forced to eventually get rid of even more "classic" attractions in order to fight off stagnation and build new attractions where the old ones once were. How well would you handle THAT change I wonder?

I see no problem with a third gate at DLR and in fact I believe they need to have one (and perhaps a 4th gate eventually) to stay a top, nationally ranked theme park. Whether or not that third gate is exclusively themed to one franchise I am not sold on 100%, but I can still see it as a possibility.

I really don't understand this. Unless someone has an interest in the property where a third gate would be located, it really wouldn't affect them. If they didn't like the third gate, they don't have to go, but why begrudge the opportunity to those who would enjoy it?

I love chasing down rumors related to Disneyland as much as the next guy, maybe more so.
Can you, however, explain two things please?

1. why is this "hilarious"?
2. how is your link "proof"?

Because the quality of DL and DCA would suffer. WDW has 4 gates and none of them are as good as either DL or DCA in terms of number of quality attractions, cleanliness, etc.

You of course have totally incontrovertible proof that the reason these parks are inferior to the CA side parks (you will have many who disagree with that assessment by the way) and they are not as clean is because of the number of parks there right? You will be presenting that proof no doubt? It's not because of different management, different climate, different numbers, etc and/or combination of all. No, it's definitely because of the number of parks and that's it. Cool. I will await that proof to be posted anxiously.

A link to a an amusement park bloggers opinions is not proof. Especially when held up to a person who has checked the actual patent document and seen who owns the patent by READING the document. Thanks though for the irony of calling other posts and opinions hilarious when your own post falls safely in that category.

Re: First Planned Attraction for Star Wars Land

Very interesting. I am eager to see what they will make with it.

Also, on the topic of a third gate, I am full for it, but just theming it to Star Wars? That seems a bit much, don't you think? I mean sure, it's worked on the East Coast with the Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, but I still feel that having a larger variety of themed lands other than a Star Wars theme. It's like when Carsland was first announced. I was not really rooting for it because of the rumor that it was going to be a third park on it's own just themed to the Cars franchise. Maybe for starters, a Star Wars and Marvel themed third gate. It will make the Star Wars/Marvel people happy, it will make the people who want a third park happy, and it will make people who want to keep more Marvel/Star Wars out of Disneyland happy.

I would hope that ride has provisions for barf bags......
