Ten attractions and dining spots will be closing down to make way for Star Wars attractions at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. This is a significant amount of space for the Disney theme park.
Disneyland Prices Rise 31%, Star Wars Attraction Take Over
Universal Studios will be opening a section of their California theme park dedicated to the Harry Potter series. In order to compete, Disney is bringing in Star Wars attractions that will take up a significant chunk of the theme park.
This will not bring down attendance rates since Disney is Disney. Tourists and local attendance will not let up. The mere announcement of a new Star Wars related land will lure in Star Wars and Lucasfilm fans. Though many fans are disappointed that some attractions will be closing temporarily and others permanently, this is just an update to the parks. It was about time, seeing as Star Wars: The Force Awakens is topping the box office worldwide.
Lucasfilm and Disney Unite Once More for Theme Park Attractions
Disney acquired Lucasfilm for $4 billion. Thanks to this acquisition, Tomorrowland spots are being taken over. This includes a section of the Innovations building. The building will become Star Wars Launch Bay. It will be the mix of an arcade, a store and a meet-and-greet spots for Star Wars characters. A new dining spot called The Galactic Grill will sell food inspired by the series, including desserts like Darth by Chocolate and Cheese 3PO Burger.
There’s A New Hotshot in Tomorrowland
Disneyland is hosting Season of the Force, which started on November 2015. There’s no launch date for the land area. By the time the attractions are finished, Tomorrowland will become the main area for a long time. Lucasfilm and Star Wars fans will be crawling on top of the already high concentration of tourist and California residents that the park gets regularly.
There’s been no word on possible attractions at Walt Disney World in Florida. Because there is so much more space, it’s possible that a project is already in the works. Disney has not made any official announcements regarding Disney World. But can expect a chunk of Tomorrowland in Florida to also be laden with iterations of C3PO, R2D2, BB8 and all other beloved characters in the Star Wars franchise.
