Excited for this movie!

Have never seen the original Pete's Dragon, but that teaser looks like a fun film. Want to see more about the film before spending $12-15 on it.

According to WDWNT the sunset/nighttime safaris are achieved by giant LED screens creating a sunset.

I'm really curious about these screens. What are they supposed to accomplish? Trick the animals? Make it look like sunset for the guests?

Make it look like a sunset to guests. I've heard it's really cool.

Show just started here. Looks like it will be a lot of fun.

Regarding Pete's Dragon, I never understood why they decided to make that particular adaptation, but it has potential to be a good film.

I'm a fan of the original and this new one looks promising so I really hope it's good.

New concept art! Looks great!

Star Wars Battle ride looks like a dark ride similar to Spider-Man. Hopefully it's trackless and has some new tech.

Star Wars experience.....and so the haters begin.

Star Wars Land is going to be awesome and accept that it's all screens. It's the only way you can do this in the rides with how much excitement is in them. The question is when and I don't think we find that out until D23 2017 or 2019.

D23 2017 seems likely. Star Wars land could be opening in 2019.

I think the ride will be some sort of Transformers with the ability to shoot at moving targets.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind. It looks like they showed a preview for both rides.

Am I crazy, or did he not reveal the name? Unless it's actually called "Star Wars Experience"

It sounds really cool. I'm just wondering if it will be jarring riding through in the dark and then all of a sudden it's sunset. Obviously the screens aren't everywhere. I can't wait to see it in person.

Name reveal was a rumor. Apparently a false one.
