Look like elephants have to most to worry on those images

Vist a frontier town on a new planet on the edge of the galaxy, where you can fly the millennium falcon and take part in a battle against the dark side...

And herein lies the problem. In its natural, non-captive desert terrain a Bantha can roam on average 100 miles a day. A captive one, fully loaded down and carrying 1-2 Tusken Raiders can still do 80 miles. What sort of life are they going to have in an enclosure behind a frozen yoghurt concession stand in a Florida theme park?

This announcement was widely anticipated. Hollywood Studios is going to be barely worth a visit whilst this and "Toy Story Land" get built there.

They also revealed some more details on "Avatar Land" currently in construction at Animal Kingdom.

Universal have really upped their investment in their Orlando parks and Disney have had to respond.

They didn't put any timescales on the new Star Wars stuff did they?

Seems unlikely that it will all be done in a year or two so if it's important to you and you might only make the one visit, you probably want to wait.

There's plenty of stuff other than Hollywood Studios though...

Probably looking at 2020/21 for Star Wars and 2017/18 for Toy Story Land. But, as you say, plenty of other things to see.

I can't help thinking the Falcon will need wider seats.

Surely this all kind of hinges on whether The Force Awakens is actually any good though? If it's another Phantom Menace (I sincerely doubt it will be though) all this StarWars hype will fade away again.

Their confidence seems to suggest it should be good... In JJ I trust.
