CANCELED! Missing Third Attraction At Galaxy’s Edge Explained

- Star Wars Galaxy's Edge was a large-scale project that went over budget, resulting in the cancellation of some planned features. One of these features was a third attraction, which surprisingly according to Imagineer Jim Shull, could still be added to the land. Hey, Brickey investigated this proposal and found some possible clues that helped solve some of the mysteries of Galaxy's Edge. Based on this investigation, Hey Brickey developed a unique theory about how this attraction would have worked, where it would have been located, and how it may have been responsible for some of the subtle differences between Disney Hollywood Studios and Disneyland.
It's such a bummer they don't use that upper area even for shows. Being able to see lightsabre battles would be so cool
Would be neat to see Resistance troops running from Stormtroopers, residents of Batuu moving boxes on those floating platforms they use in SW (maybe the bottom would be hidden from the perspective, it could 'break down' and drop lower, then they could fix it and it'll start floating up again, etc), or Mando pushing bounties across that walkway.
Have you seen the Ordinary Adventures vid titled “Lightsaber battles & flying x-wings at galaxy’s Edge” ? Peter attended & filmed the media event for the launch of Rise of the Resistance @ DW which included what was no doubt the precursor to Rey & Kylo duel @ Starcruiser, X-Wing drones, & a fireworks show @ the end. As you say, why this isn’t a part of Galaxy’s edge on at least some sort of revolving basis (even just SW Nights / May 4th for starters) is beyond me.
@@dkarras My guess for why they didn't put a show of any kind there is because both Bobs are/were cheap and live entertainment is expensive. So not putting any sort of regular live entertainment there saves money. There might have also been concern about congestion. I've only been to Galaxy's Edge once and that was years ago so I don't remember how much space there by the "stage" area but they might have felt that based on how it was during the one or few times they had a show up there that the area might not be big enough to handle lots of people just standing around there watching the show and might create congestion around that area. But that's just a guess and is not based on aotid evidence.
Youre not thinking big enough.
Imagine at night, you look up to see ships moving overhead, invisibly held up by drones, illuminated by UV blacklights, and using forced perspective to appear larger than they really are.
Even better, you might catch a dogfight between X_Wing and TIE Fighters, with a thin layer of smoke in the air to allow one to see laser fire.
@@Thoralmir That would definitely be something!
This is genius analysis. Disney truly needs a change in leadership that purges the cheapskates. Disney needs to spend the money to WOW people. If they built WOW attractions then they could charge whatever they wanted to get into the parks. Current executives have the mindset that they can be as cheap as possible and still charge whatever they want. That’s why they are in such problems now.
I was just there and it was packed. Why should they change everything if they are at capacity?
People freak out every time Disney raises their prices. Don’t think everyone would be thrilled if they opened a new attraction AND raised prices
No one is doing Disneyland with as much care, expertise and love. Can’t wait for everyone else to catch onto your channel!
Fr, every disney channel on this platform focuses almost exclusively on wdw
Offhand Disney
Disney delaying the implementation of the ride comes down to simple economics - in about 10 years after release, visitors and interest in Galaxy's Edge wanes and they start to lose profitability on the region. You need new rides and fresh things to keep interest up. Disney, for the first time, has intentionally designed-in upgradability and expansion into a part of the park. They didn't cut the ride or leave it out, they're just not ready to install it yet. The Star Wars Wedway People Mover will be installed eventually.
I think this is why a table service and an entertainment attraction was part of the opening line up.
I have told guests that the large door past the market is the entrance to the Galactic People Mover, which was canceled.
There is also room for the ride to go around the market past the Falcon. The ride you described would be a huge people eat. Great for the whole family.
This is the norm for Disney-big dreams meet reduced budget, every time. Paul Pressler's tenure at Disneyland in the '90s was notorious for this (cases in point: "Light Magic", "Rocket Rods")
You are like the Magnum P.I. of Disney Parks. Great sleuthing Brickey
He just needs a mustache and a friend with a helicopter.
Nice work Brickey! I’m sure this project was further along than we realized. Something I’ve noticed but didn’t put together until now is on the Rivers of America side of the land, the soundtrack includes sounds of a large animal trampling through the bushes. Part of the immersion with that attraction maybe?
This is spot on! Kinetic energy is even stronger than The Force.
IMO they should have themed the section after all three trilogies. The side closest to fantasyland is prequel era, you get to the falcon and the shops, it's OG trilogy, you get past the shops, to rise, and it's sequel trilogy. They keep mindful of sight lines so you never see two characters interacting from the wrong eras, and then characters from any time could show in the park. Employees tell a story about black spires that feels so timeless that it doesn't really need to be specific to any trilogy.
This is a really cool idea and I think it would work pretty well.
I just saw the firework show you dreamed up for us. Thank you for recommending it to your fellow citizens of Disneyland during this amazing video. Man, does the Star Wars geek inside of me would love a presentation like that. Also adding kinetic energy to Galaxy’s Edge with a 3rd attraction would be so great.
I’m going along this journey with you Brickey. You constantly give me (us) great hope in the possible future for the Disneyland Resort. It’s fun dreaming.
Your site is gives us so much more than other theme-park websites. Some are entertaining to me, but you give us so much more. I don’t know why your subscribers never reached 100K+. I was with you since you were, I think, 14K.
I’ve always wondered why there is so much unused space at Galaxy’s Edge in Hollywood Studios. In light of the now undeniable fact that Disney doesn’t care all that much about imagineering and the customer experience any longer it makes perfect sense that they just cheaped out on this.
I doubt it probably for the future of Disney, if they gave us everything right away no wants to go when it died down they probably have to do a lot to the park to bring more people in however if they had this park pre designed with upgrades they save money and they have new rides plus they probably can change things up with pending on upcoming star wars shows
Nice use of the maps with your lines drawn and the animated arrow. Great video Brickey!
Agreed. It helps bring the idea to life.
Such a good idea to have Elee as a giant puppet up front! Great production value and reporting
Wow! This is just what the area needs. This ride would be amazing! I love imagining all the wonderful things that will hopefully come to our beloved park someday!
I live in Anaheim and when they started building the new attraction, all you could see were large piles or dirt. I joked with my friends that it’s going to be like Tattoine. Wish they did. One of the attractions could be a zip line over the Sarlacc pit.
Don't you mean Sarlacc?
@@kevinlee7678oops yes, ha ha
If the Galactic Starcruiser really is gone for good, I do hope that some of the show elements from that experience make their way into Galaxy’s Edge, like the walk around droid, walk around Rodian who speaks Huttese, the dinner theater with a Twi’lek superstar, the extending lightsaber, and the stunt shows on catwalks.
It really is gone for good, and they won't do any of what you said.
@@barfyman-wn3id you must be a lot of fun at parties.
@@ScottAtwood Just keeping it real. I'd love for your speculations to come true. I don't think they will, however.
@@barfyman-wn3id they say that good ideas never really die at Disney Imagineering. They may sit on a shelf or a few years (or a few decades), but the really good ideas make it into the parks. There were a LOT of really good ideas in the Galactic Starcruiser. The Chapek administration may have been all about austerity and profit-taking, but Disney has been through that sort of thing before. Under better economic conditions, and with favorable, future-thinking leadership, Disney has done quite amazing things in its parks.
@@ScottAtwoodDisney doesn’t care about good ideas or what’s best for guest. Their a company who relys completely on customers never questioning them and theming rather than adding good or thrilling rides. It’s a kids park
Earliest I’ve ever been to a Brickey video. I would love to get another ride in Galaxy’s Edge. Hope we get one eventually!
Hey Brickey! It was great getting a moment of your time to chat by Pixie Hallow Sunday. Breaking ground for this Bantha ride is what I’d wish for the next d23 announcement to be (way more than something like an avatar experience or Forward plans for 10-15 yrs from now). An outdoor kinetic experience that could be as interesting to spectators as it is to riders would take that land to the next level. Thanks for sharing your thought on it
I’m hoping they revive the e ticket quinjet ride for dca. But as of now I just want them to let us know more info on the avengers multiverse ride, since it’s been so long and we haven’t heard anything
Honestly kind of wonder why they're sitting on galaxys edge, it doesn't make sense to me why they'd just kind of leave it in an abandoned state.
This sounds like it would be amazing! And both versions of Galaxy’s Edge could really use the extra capacity. I love how both versions would be unique.
One can dream!!!
You’re a design genius and investigator of elite level.
One day, when dreams come true… we’ll see it!
I never visited the parks, I live in Spain, but just today I discovered that for a so anticipated and talked about land inspired by such a big franchise, it only has 2 rides... That's sad
Love to see them go subterranean first - use the Avatar flight technology for a Land Speeder ride. Or better yet - X-Wing vs Tie Fighter ride where you split the riders to two teams for flight school simulator. You could even have different queues with different stories to prep the new recruits
I love this. Sort of like a multiplayer Smuggler's Run.
Great ideas and plan for that creature experience! It would have been great if they kept to the promise of having it in Galaxies Edge. I wish you were a Disney imagineer to make this happen.
Really wonderful video - I’ve watched it multiple times already. Great job on the audio mix, in particular - it helps make the cuts feel fluid. It’s a rarity to have such good sound on a TH-cam video that was filmed in a crowded public space, especially among the Disney vlog community.
Mind blown! Thanks for the video.
Well done man. You really do break everything down so well.
100% agree! I have been saying the same thing since they opened. Spot on! Yep, they went that far ... to drop all promised expectations!
I'm OK with Bantas passing each other, it's like any path you would see on a long road between outposts.
Surprised Disney didn't build this and charge an exclusive Genie Plus price for it.
"Low capacity, yes. But we can charge extra for it."
Galaxy’s Edge is a caterpillar of a beautiful butterfly. It needs more to become a butterfly and it has the space for it for both parks!
Fascinating . I could imagine an alternate universe where this was built and the online debates on which Wampa Tour was better haha. I would imagine the Florida one would have more immersion in the forest while the Disneyland one would be pretty cool kinetic energy wise seeing a Wampa walk by from around the area like the DL Railroad or Peoplemover.
People Mover meets Pack Mules Through Nature's Wonderland! I hope to live to see the day. Btw, your latest content has been fun.
It was great seeing you at the Park on Sunday. Hope you are feeling better.
Wow that is really interesting. I feel like your content has really improved this year. Great coverage on things that are interesting but not being readily covered by tons of other youtube channels.
This experience would be great. It looks like they put a lot of work already into its development and wouldn’t be a huge stretch to make it happen. In my opinion GE needs a third ride as it feels a little stale already. Plus this creature is not locked into any particular timeline so it gives the imagineers some flexibility for any future retheming (hopefully). Nice job on your video!
Your content is amazing. I just love the visions of what's possible you show us. Keep up the awesome work.
the land was meant to be themed after the originals, look at the AT-AT on rise of the resistance, those are from the originals. galaxys edge was meant to be themed after our favorite characters and moments but now its just some random place
I think a great idea with ILM’s
hologram tech that they have a Force ghost room/ walkthrough attraction, where you can meet an interact with obviously Force Ghosts. This could united all of the timelines.
I love this. It's like an epic Star Wars version of Turtle Talk with Crush.
You killed it on this one Brickey. Thx for all you do.
Disney has been making MANY bad decisions in the last two decades.
Great video. You put out very different content from the other DisneyTubers!
I love your vision for this possible new attraction.
In Disneyland, it's debut may have been postponed to allow the plantings to mature enough to hide the attraction from "Rivers of America".
Great vid, the thought of that happening is amazing!!
Absolutely love the way your mind works the way you dig into and look for problem solving and the creative factor to how to overcome it great job bricky
Thank you for all you do, I look forward to your posts and insights.
Sounds like the attraction no one has dared but would be EPIC! I would go back to ride that and it’s been about 6 years since I last visited.
Dude. You're hardcore. That's some serious detective work / checking things out. This was fun to watch!!!
A-MA-ZING (and would LOVE to see happen)! Really well done, as always.
They should’ve made this unused part of Galaxy’s Edge a shop or show! I imagine Disney could’ve made an Armorer’s Armory and sold Mandalorian helmets there
Not sure if Mandalorian is still popular enough for that, after Season 3.
There are a metric ton of Disney vloggers and most of them I can't stand to watch. Your videos are way better quality and easier to watch.
Hell of a revelation! That would have been cool. I think you're dead on.
The cool thing is that this infrastructure exists already (at Disneyland at least) if they decide Galaxy’s Edge needs a crowd booster. Stuff like this fascinates me though: the idea that they had everything there for this attraction but it never came to fruition for whatever reason. Great work!
Money. Money is the reason. They cut way way back on the budget for the project and so many things were cut.
@@RetroGirl1967 Makes total sense. End result was way less than was imagined in the vision.
Great look into what’s there and what could be ! I love your look into the design of the parks. Another ride in Galaxies Edge would be nice. The interactive animatronic animal would be great. I can see it hitting stormtroopers with its tail or growling at them, and it being happy to see Rey and Chewy. Keep up the good work !
This is the most intriguing video you’ve made Brickey. I can’t wait to get to the parks and just…. Imagine what could have been and should still be!!!
It was a fun assignment in creativity and potential problem-solving. If I'm very far off it was fun to create a possible day dream.
@@HeyBrickey the amount of views on this video tells me everyone agrees! Come on Disney! Let me ride a Bantha!!
Great detective work on this! It’s somewhat mind-blowing to think of what could’ve been
Incredible detective work! Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge absolutely needs an elevated PeopleMover. Disney really messed up.
I love your combination of Disney magic, love of the story, and your engineer mind to make it all fit together!
Great look at the future possibilities! Hope they're brave enough to do it! I'd love to see a kinetic Batuu!
Unfortunately the money is all going to their failed woke movies and series at the moment.
@@marcoantoniogarcia38sadly true. I just wish whatever happens, that soon the oriental land company would be in charge of running the us disney parks too
When Galaxy's Edge first opened, I was mean and called it a billion dollar Star Wars themed shopping mall. These days, I still call it that, even though once ROTR opened, it massively improved that land. They should've never opened this without ROTR in the first place.
A Bantha ride would be so awesome. It would be a definite ticket-seller.
Man I love these what if scenario videos, I love your art perspective and deductive reasoning Brickey!
Why is it that after nearly five yeas, Disney Parks couldn't include Finn and Dameron Poe as among the roving characters in Galaxy's Edge? After nearly five years!
How wonderful would this be! Would LOVE to see a lumbering bantha plodding through the forest as I wander Galaxy's Edge. Is there any danger of seeing one from the train on your proposed route?
Great video! Would love to see them bring this to life
This is an amazing video!! I’m thinking YOU should work for Disney. Well done!
Great break down. It would have been a great attraction and addition if it would have come to fruition.
What wonderful analysis 🤩 ... I always wanted this ride as well after seeing the concept drawings of it in the Art Of Star Wars book. I really hope they add it in the future. They mentioned in the book that it was ultimately dropped because of it's low capacity
Your titles undersell completely the content of your videos… There’s so much more details and deeper analysis in those haha thank you for your very valuable insights 😊
I always find your videos interesting and provocative! Great analysis and fascinating ideas. That possible new rides sound so exciting. My own ideas and speculations are strictly fiction, but you have developed wonderful, fact-based possible futures. And it's really good to have your 3D extrapolations, which enable us to really SEE the possibilities.
Sigh. If only my Dad were here to see it all. Well, at least he saw the top of the construction from the Disneyland Railroad.
Thank you!
Oh, and p'haps the E-Lee could be a hybrid animatronic, with programmed actions, but also able to be controlled by an operator for additional actions... WITH special photo opportunities. Wow.
What I REALLY can’t understand is how they can leave the back side of this land completely exposed, being able to see the nuts and bolts of it from Manchester Ave/Disneyland Drive when you exit the 5 freeway! It’s nuts! A wall or barrier there would be (what I would think) so easy!
Yeah it’s odd how they left the metal supports and everything exposed. Also I’m disappointed they canceled the original e ticket quinjet ride they promised us for California adventure.
The avengers multiverse ride (that replaced the quinjet ride plans) seems like it’ll either suck or be decent. But for some reason Disney hasn’t started construction on it yet. I worry they may cancel it again or won’t build it until like 2045 😂
I’m obsessed with your channel holy smokes. How do you not have millions of subs
Great video, thanks for your insights
This video is unique and informative and smart. Great job! I thought I'd seen it all, I was wrong.
Never knew about this, great video
Hey Brickey!! Just found your channel. Amazing content Thank you for your work and research on things! Used to be what Provost did until they sold out to a travel co. Don't do that! LOL
Disney you got a lot to fix
Great video! Reminds me of the second floor of Roger rabbit you can see from above in Disneyland and the track layout lining up
Do you have a video on a history of Club 33? Attempted to scroll through many of your vids, yet couldn’t find any. Been going there since I was a baby but don’t really have a condensed historical version. Would be an awesome video, if there isn’t already. Thank you, brother! Great work
Thanks for doing all this research, I love learning about Batuu and you make it easy to understand. Thanks for the insight! MTFBWY
Great content 👍🏾
While I like the idea of this ride, I think it needs to be more visible than how you've described it. If the goal is to add more kinetic energy to Batuu, why hide it behind trees? I suggest keeping it visible for most of it's path for both the additional kinetic energy of the land but also for the riders as while seeing the backside of trees is nice, seeing Batuu from angles you can't normally see would be the benefit of the ride.
I’m a huge Star Wars fan (OG OT fan) I vote to get rid of all of it and turn it back into the big thunder ranch. Bring back the petting zoo and BBQ! Disney has been an utter disappointment with Star Wars and the paying customers hate the Rey timeline. That would be my vote.
I’ve got a billion dollars that says that’ll never happen.
@@jacestringham7022 I realize that. But Disney made a mistake basing it on the sequels. Better to turn it in to Tattooine and bring out the OT characters.
Love your vision friend.
I love it. I’m curious what you think the hourly throughput would be for this. The concept art makes it look like the ride vehicles don’t hold many guests.
6/8 people per creature, and big long track like this you could probably have 15 creatures going at once. That would be 120 folks at once, if ride time is 15 minutes that could be about 500 per hour. So not a ton but that’s all a real basic guess. Could be as much as a 1,000 if you could double vehicles. Would be very popular.
@@HeyBrickeycould you finish the last video for the series in which you were discussing the avengers e ticket quinjet ride? Your videos on that were amazing but the last video in your series wasn’t released/finished. Even though that ride was cancelled I’d still love to hear your ideas and thoughts on it.
Lastly it would be awesome to hear your thoughts and speculations on what the avengers multiverse ride will be like (the replacement for the quinjet ride)x and what ride system it may use. Just was two things I was hoping for if possible. Also your video today was amazing as usual! It’s always awesome seeing what attractions we could have gotten!
@@HeyBrickey double or triple the ride vehicles. Instead of just one walking at a time, it's two or three (think of like two mules or three camels tied together in single file). That doubles or triples capacity. Then you add a section where a bantha is "spooked" by some probe droid or wild animal and it speeds along for a section to cut down ride time? Either way, I'd love to see this. Great work!
It was for the stunt show. They did a version of it in opening ceremony then decided to cut it. That was supposed to be permanent. I was a tech on the event team.
There was basically going to be a story that repeated everyday, much like what ended up being at Starcruiser, and that show was just a piece of the whole story and other shows that would happen during the day.
@@mushieslushiethank you for the info! Also I know this is random but did you ever hear anything about that 3rd avengers ride we were supposed to get at California adventure
Where the hell is either:
A) Trench Run coaster
B) Speeder Bike coaster
C) Pod racing coaster
These write themselves. There should be one of these, no brainer.
Classic modern Disney to cheap out! Bare minimums for the suckers in the US.
The only purpose of the financially successful parks is to prop up the loser studios and media divisions.
Sadly true. I’m still mad at Disney for canceling the e ticket quinjet ride they promised us for dca. I just hope the avengers multiverse ride doesn’t suck but only time will tell (that is if Disney ever actually starts building the ride)
@@dayoldbread1696 Don't worry about the DCA Avenger's Campus E-ticket, Disney has 'work shopped' the 'blue sky' and produced 'concept art'. Disney has 'committed' to a large investment across all of the various physical environmental interactive points to enhance the guest magical experience. Over the next decade these concerns will be addressed throughout the numerous cast member guest interactions through the immersive storytelling moments at D23 and other conventions. Sounds very Disney talking point style conversation, right?
No. There is no way DLand is putting in a ride that 4-8 people get on and that takes 5-10 minutes to return. So 83 people get to ride this thing in a day? Come on.
yep they really need to change the theme to the original trilogy and then they can put in a Speeder Bike chase - like a roller coaster except the rails / track are mostly on the ground. This will never happen either tho since current Disney execs have their heads so far up their arses that all they know is to give us Bantha poodoo and think we're gonna remain happy with it.
Yeah because its a vibe. Exactly what disneyland is missing these days, too many people that think logistically like you do and not enough that think creatively as to what benefits not only logistics but kinetic energy as he said. Its why galaxys edge feels so corporate as opposed to magical
Say 4 people every 10 mins that's 24 people per hour if only one ride vehicle
Galaxy’s Edge is the ONLY land in Disneyland without any visible outdoor ride. Another missed opportunity.
Excellent Point!
Oh my goodness brickey!!! I cant tell you how sad iam this never got built! This is exactly what this land is missing. How do the disney heads not understand how important kinetic energy is ESPECIALLY in a newly created land. Yesterday i got to thinking about what the great movie ride could of become. Imagine retheming it to all the old disney animated classics! Rescuers, lady tramp, fox hound, 101 dalmatians, robin hood, etc etc. Each movie could have its own scene! How satisfying does that sound?!? It would make so many people sooooooo happy. Instead they made this out of touch cardboard mickey ride that has nothing to do with classic mickey mouse. Then, they go and re create this mess in disneyland!! Imagineering is so out of touch. Not saying its a bad ride, it just misses the mark on so many levels. Maybe you could do a video on this. What one of the greatest disney rides ever built could of become! You and I need to be on the board of imagineering.
Well I met Tony Baxter and he said that things always chnage due to buget issues. Basically depneding on the budget not everything will make it to the final product. This was one of them. So it was less broken promises and more about issues with the buget.
Add in some Jungle Cruise type elements and this sounds like fun
I appreciate you and all your research and informed sleuthing. Now, please become the damn genie and make this sh$t happen! 😂🙏
Where are those 3 wishes?!
Never heard of this concept.... is this what dreams are made of?? A bantha ride??? 🙏 You just keep killing it Brickey. I have (hypothetical) questions, if anyone wants to indulge me. Do we think this is a caravan of banthas? I'm thinking about capacity. Brickey mentions "passing through every 12-15 minutes". That makes me think very low capacity. Maybe I'm not visualizing this on the right scale. Thoughts?
More galaxy’s edge videos please!
The whole land feels like a stagnant diorama. For a bustling marketplace there are No water features (Thanks CA gov). No moving attractions. No out-of-view sounds or interactions like you see in Toontown which give it a wild bustling energy.
My wife grew up in the shadow of The Matterhorn, so it's not too much of a surprise she really does not like Disney, for what it's done to Anaheim. Be that as it may, I did manage to get her to go on a recent trip to CA, because I really wanted to see Galaxy's Edge. But more likely her bestie who still lives in Anaheim wanted to see it.
She was suitably impressed and amazed.
Keep making these videos! You may make a convert of her yet!
They should have added the attraction. Great video!!!!!!!
Really cool video thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
