News Round Up 2016

I thought the same thing... Except there was a lot of water in Episode VII and the end had a lot of water so we can assume parts of VIII will have water. It's interesting comments about ILMs involvement - but the boat part is interesting. If it happens what does that say about Imagineering?

Frozen - boat ride
Pandora - boat ride
Star Wars - potential boat ride?

If true somebody's gone boat happy.

im calling bunk on that
nothing says star wars like a good ol water ride...

NOOOOO!!!!

no, no, NO!!!

star wars…is not living with the land! a boat ride? come on…use something other than the same old stupid high volume tricks.

its called "Gravity", Disney….look into it. Stop using boats and tv screens for EVERYTHING.

personally i think they got their facts wrong and are probably talking about Avatar

thats far more reasonable

Keep hoping.

Quotes are from Snoddy so it's legit.
Multiple times he mentioned ILM (Star Wars), and boats.
Will this be the ride? Maybe. Maybe not. But this discussion there is no confusion.

Here's some more detail - it references the same source but it's a little better break down.

They do say no where did he say Star Wars and the article goes on to say hopefully it's avatar he's referring to. We'll see.

 

[rteetz]

But did you get wet on Pirates???

Did not ride today will try that on Sunday!

 

[rteetz]

Isn't Buzz going down for a refurb very soon?

Yes.

 

[rteetz]

No specifics but some more detail on development of Star Wars land ride...

I'm going to be honest and say this one surprised especially the whole boat ride thing. I haven't seen that said anywhere.

 

[rteetz]

Yeah I really can't see a boat ride for Star Wars.

Will they make changes to the princess line up at Fairy Tale Hall once Frozen opens in Epcot? Will E&A be in both parks or will someone else move in?

I've heard Merida replacing Anna and Elsa and then something new at Fairytale Garden where Merida meets currently.

Currently watching Star Wars fireworks from my beach club room! Added bonus I wasn't aware of.

another thing it sure would be odd that an Imagineer would openly talk about a ride that hasnt been announced yet

Just sayin...

"The adventure begins as guests set out in canoes and venture down a mysterious, sacred river hidden within the bioluminescent rainforest. The full beauty of Pandora reveals itself as the canoes pass by exotic glowing plants and amazing creatures. The journey culminates in an encounter with a Na'vi shaman, who has a deep connection to the life force of Pandora and sends positive energy out into the forest through her music"

They've talked about this land being like a living thing. We also know it will be responsive. Using projection technology the entire room could respond to the voice of the singer and transform.




I'm calling the river journey attraction!

 

[Budshark]

Meh. The first page and News articles about Star Wars land on Google now all reference the coming boat ride. There is no putting the genie back in the bottle.

They have to do it now. The Internets say so.

My feeds blew up with it as soon as it hit the web. Figured it was gonna get here sooner than later. Didn't invent the rumor, just reported it.

Interesting "In Memoriam" for Disney personalities who passed in 2015. A good read if you have some time.

Trust me they are incredibly successful.

It's certainly an odd fit. Though there aren't any water based rides in DHS currently. The technology sounds cool mind you.

The must have Star Wars Christmas gift for next year.... a realistic, true to size, R2D2 rolling refrigerator.
