The Rumor Tracking Thread

[WDW_Ding]

Both Star Wars attractions are looking to be around 1750 for hourly capacity.

That's about what Space Mountain is, I think.

But even with those numbers, it is going to be very, very crowded.

Looks like the 50th celebration will start Summer 2021. This would be the biggest celebration WDW has since since the Millennium or 100 years of magic.

It's going to be crazy busy but I cant wait to be part of it.

Agreed. I would love to somehow someway be there on October 1st.

I want to as well but I think I gotta hold out the next year, my 40th at Epcot's 40th, it seems way more fitting.

That is good. Why not both

Obviously that's the only clear solution!

“I heard May 2021 to 12/31/22 was considered. I’m sure there are many complexities to nailing down a date. But the announced projects can all complete by then. I expect the announced projects with one more at Epcot, an impressive entertainment package at all four parks, and a surprising number of significant ride refurbishments. What more could one ask for?”

No parking fees?

Both Star Wars attractions will have extensive queues much like Flight of Passage with multiple pre-shows. The battle attraction will have similarities to Transformers at Universal. This per Martin at WDWMagic.

We were planning to take 2021 off (our normal long trip is in June). May have to figure out a way to get us there.

Also to add, MagicFeather on WDWMagic just said this about AAs in Battle Escape attraction, "Think about the HoP. If you consider all of the presidents that are not Lincoln, Washington, or Trump to be AA’s, then Alcatraz will have a veritable ****ton. If not, then just a handful."

Alcatraz?

 

[BigRed98]

Alcatraz?

The battle escape attraction is code named Alcatraz and the millennium falcon attraction is code named big bird.

 

[rteetz]

The battle escape attraction is code named Alcatraz and the millennium falcon attraction is code named big bird.

And overall the land's code name is Delos.

 

[BigRed98]

I believe that’s a Westworld reference.

Orlando is Delos II so not much difference at all.
