Those who are looking for a return to Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, the hotel and the experience on the theme of “Star Wars” at $ 1 billion that Disney opened on March 1, 2022 and closed in September, will probably have to put this Dream aside. To date, there is no sign that you can return to a galaxy far, far.
According to several sources, including an individual close to the company, the building which once housed the immersive adventure (located near Disney Hollywood studios to Walt Disney World) is converted into Walt Disney Imagineering offices, the secret branch of the company Responsible for attractions of the themed park, retail places and cruising ships.
WDI will use the building as a hub for several extension projects coming to the vast resort Walt Disney World, including (among others), the Latin America region of the Disney Animal Kingdom which will house “Incanto” and the attractions on the Theme of Indiana Jones; The next “cars” – and on the theme of Disney bad guys opened to the Magic Kingdom; and the “Monsters, Inc.” LAND, with door-to-door subtrousilles, arriving at Disney Hollywood studios. (That “Monsters, Inc.” is perhaps the most controversial, because he calls for the deletion of the beloved final project of Jim Henson-Muppet * Vision 3D.)
Thewrap had heard rumbles according to which the building was going to be potentially used for a several -hour theater type experience that would use the hotel hall (used for key moments of narration as part of the Starcruiser galactic), Bridge, Bar and Restaurant and that the gift shop would also remain open. But Thewrap has now been informed, quite firmly, that the building will not be accessible to customers at all.
This probably has to do with the way it would be heavy to harm customers to the Starcruiser building, which is in an area behind the scenes of the park. When the hotel was open, the themed shuttles transported customers to Disney Hollywood studios on the “experience day” of the experience – where customers would have exclusive interactions in the “Star Wars” Disney on the theme of Galaxy’s Edge. These shuttles could only transport a few guests at a time, which is not ideal if you try to reuse the space for a more inclusive culinary experience.
According to a source, several game tests were carried out in this part of the old Starcruiser building, with actors filled for paid guests. But the tests would be for a potential culinary experience in the theme park, not in the Starcruizing building itself.
When the Oga Cantina, the bar on the theme of “Star Wars” in Galaxy’s Edge, was first designed, it was initially part of a greater theater experience. This experience was tightened in early conceptual art and apparently reused when many of these experiences, intended for the regular guests of the park, were transferred to the Star Wars project: Galactic Starcruiser. Now they come back to this idea of theater.
While the Starcruizing experience lasted only a little more than a year, it was commemorated by those who did it and by those who watched the video essayist (and Disney Theme Park Surface) Jenny Nicholson At four o’clock in the withdrawal of the Enterprise, which has given 11 million views on YouTube.
Some hoped that experience would reopen like something (Perhaps with a superposition attached to any “Star Wars” project in the process of promoting by the company), but the conversion to office space seems to close the book on the project in the predictable future.
Disney has taken a tax job on Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, which would freeze the use of this building for a specific period of time. And most of the projects described above are only just starting, so it could be years before they open.
