[QUOTE="Benjamin Olson, post: 8933483, member: 6988941"] It is worth noting that Galaxy's Edge not doing the evidently unrealistic numbers Disney hoped for their overall short-term ticket sales (to the extent that it forced an executive's resignation) does not mean it is unpopular or some sort of failure. And while Disney parks have to have a big new draw, and it perhaps underperformed on that front, they are not nearly as big new draw focused as most of their competitors. I'm sure the Star Wars lands will fill hearts with childlike wonder and rake in bucks for decades to come. The last real dead scrap of land in the park (though autotopia takes up a phenomenal amount of real estate for a ride that I always found mind-numbingly dull). When I was young and we'd go to Disneyland my dad, having an architecture background, used to draw our attention to how few areas they really have left to develop. Unlike the Florida parks with near endless land the Anaheim location has to pull off engineering wonders of compact design to fit their attractions in a location hemmed in by freeway and major roads where even Disney bucks won't get them more land. And naturally when my father would point out the few places that seemed to still have room for a major attraction I'd dream of what attractions could possibly go there, and naturally a whole Star Wars land would have been exactly placed top of the list of what would improve Disneyland. So in any case I'm pretty sure I at some point dreamed about putting a Star Wars land exactly where one ended up going at Disneyland 20 years before it happened. Clearly the power of positive thinking at work. [/QUOTE]
