News Round Up 2019

This is just a random thought...Can we make a separate thread for Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge pictures or put them in a spoiler now? I’m only asking since I’m someone that can’t see it until it opens at Walt Disney World two months later and I would like to be as surprised as possible.

oops sorry - there is already the entire SubForum for Glaxy's Edge - I did put it there as well

I updated the post to put the photo in Spoilers

I have no idea when we will get to see it in person (2020 at the earliest) so no way I can avoid seeing anything until then

well, based on this photo from Bioreconstruct (well, a snippet of a photo of theirs) where there are sections you can't make out the track, from just 2 days ago - I don't think anytime soon:

We have an entire subforum for SWGE.

Yes lets please not make spoiler tags a thing on construction progress photos here...

I would've missed that photo if it wasn't quoted lower in the page, but its up to Rteetz.

Coronado walkway is open, not sure if it was earlier but wasn't yesterday.

Looks like a really fun family coaster!

Just intense enough to be fun, but tame enough that most people will ride it.

I'm 'liking' for the coolness of it not for the price (though I know they'll still sell).

Concept art for Fantasy Springs in new DisneySea port

I’m sure they know what there doing and they’ll make plenty of money at these price points, but looks like this lifelong Star Wars fan will be keeping their wallet closed inside GE, other than maybe a coke bottle. I probably never really expected the lightsaber to be in my price range at this age but I was thinking $150 would be the absolute ceiling. And $40 for a Ewok or porg mug? I’ll wait til I see them but doesn’t sound too exciting. I’m sure they don’t want every kid running around with a lightsaber, but I do like that at Universal the wands are at least affordable.
