Just a guess

At first i was bummed we didn’t see much but the backside of water... opps I mean building. But after seeing this I’m hopeful we will get to see a lot more of what goes into to BE.

Does anyone, other than the Disney Imagineering design team, really know what the entire BE ride system will be? Those little ride vehicles at the D23 Expo don’t really tell us anything. They put something out there, two years before the attraction is scheduled to open so we have something to look at, but I’m not convinced that those vehicles are what will ultimately be used for the attraction.
There are multiple levels in the BE building and I remember when they were building the steel structure, there were many overhead continuous structures with handrails that were certainly much stronger than what would be necessary for just catwalks, capable of supporting an overhead track system. It wouldn’t surprise me if the BE attraction turned out to be an entirely new hybrid ride system that incorporates two or more elements of existing ride systems.
I'm still looking at those mechanisms that were delivered recently, with all of the Imagineers standing around them, have more significance in the overall scheme of things.

Didn't MiceAge put out some information, quite some time ago, stating that Battle Escape might actually have multiple stages, where the guests would exit one kind of ride vehicle and enter another?

But I’d love to know the evolution of this project.

But I’d love to know the evolution of this project.Last edited by BiggestDisneyFan; 02-14-2018, 12:44 PM.Dead Mice Tell No Tails!

I think what they were talking about was how you get from the ground to the star destroyer. Some insiders on other sites have dropped hints on the subject. Apparently you get there via the ship aimed at by the red arrow.
Remember that big round concrete thing they built? That appears to be a giant lazy susan which has two or three ships sitting on it. To get to the star destroyer you walk out into an enclosed area and get onto that ship. Once the ship is loaded the giant lazy susan rotates and your ship rotates indoors while another rotates outdoors. You are unloading indoors into what looks like the star destroyer launch bay while another group of guests is loading outdoors onto the next ship.
Apparently you return from the star destroyer using a different method. I haven't seen as good hints on that subject but it appears to involve the round roof on the right side of this picture which may be a destroyed ship engine. Or something. The exit hints have been more sketchy.Last edited by Macro; 02-14-2018, 01:45 PM.

It's interesting that those brown-ish panels being placed around the top edge of the BE building appear to be thick foam. I previously thought that they were much thinner and likely made of something like metal. Why would they build a foam barrier around the edge of the roof - especially one that barely protrudes above the roofline. I would expect foam like that to be used as a sound baffle or insulation, but in that location it doesn't seem like it could fulfill either of those roles. Any ideas?Dead Mice Tell No Tails!

So the path from CC to SWGE will include a large, 'wooden' wall. That's doesn't look at all 'Star Wars' to me or seem like it would fit into what we've seen of Batuu, so far. (I guess Star Wars could include anything.) I wonder if/how they are going to transition that into something more fitting with Batuu.
