So exciting I like the possibility of the "Big Reveal" loving all the construction update; so great to see things going up.

So you can walk in from the new Star Wars Resort?

Nice to hear this may be happening from page 5.

Looking at the pattern of the permit filings I think this is for the Falcon ride.

Something random I've thought with all these construction talks. Do you think that these two lands are enough for studios capacity? Star Wars especially for me looks like it'll be great but at the end of the day we'll only be getting 4 new rides

Four attractions to offset losing 2 so only a net gain of two. It probably won't be anough capacity but it's something I guess.

Yeah I'm totally with you and I'm excited for it but I feel like the studios is gonna be "packed to the gills" full given how small a park it is

The two lands will expand the footprint a bit in actual guest space but once Star Wars opens that place is gonna be packed for years.

I always hear stories of the studios closing to capacity in the early days and I feel like we're gonna be in a similar boat after these expansions

I don't recall stories like that. Of course, the Studios was a much smaller park when it first opened with no ToT and the Sunset Blvd street leading to it.

What r they gonna do with the wall thats part of the drive in movie theater?

True, I know they opened up the streets to just give people places to go. I'd love to see a couple of more additions in the future but I'm looking forward to what we're getting regardless

I believe what you are referring to is the part of streets of America that's still standing. That's not part of sci fi dine in. That wall/facade is staying though.
