Je suis assez d'accord avec Nunavik sur l'augmentation des tarifs... il semblerait que le merchandasing marche fort, les résas pour les activités payantes sont prisées... A propos Nunavik, qu'as-tu pensé de l'expérience du sabre laser ? Tu l'as construit toi même ou tu as acheté la réplique directement ?

Augmentation des tarifs des boissons! Lire https://blogmickey.com/2019/09/ogas-cantina-raises-drink-prices-in-star-wars-galaxys-edge-at-disneyland/
Ils sont encore une fois tellement désespérés par la très faible affluence qu'après une première vague d'augmentations sur le merchandising, ils font la meme chose sur les boissons de la Cantina. C'est assez pathétique alors que tout le monde se plaint déjà des prix délirants...
Perso je suis allé à Galaxy's Edge a 4 reprises lors de mon séjour, et je n'ai pas ressenti une seule fois cette sensation de désert que certains veulent nous faire croire (je sais qu'on est dans le sujet de Californie, mais c'est la même chose pour la Floride selon certains). Alors oui, il y a peu de temps d'attente au faucon (j'ai vu 65 minutes au plus haut), mais tout le reste du land est bondé, il y a une masse de gens pour photographier le faucon, les files des différents photopass sont souvent prises d'assaut, la file pour Oga's Cantina déborde fréquemment jusqu'à l'extérieur, il y a du monde dans toutes les boutiques et les blue/green milks sont quasi servis en continu. Et pour avoir fait le sabre et le droïde je peux également assurer que ça fonctionne du tonnerre, il n'y a pas un poste vide pour le sabre et pour les droïdes à peine une personne part, à peine une autre prend sa place !
Je ne doute absolument pas sur le fait que WDW va également augmenter ses tarifs, j'en suis quasi certain tellement que ça fonctionne bien.
Et à savoir qu'en plus des tarifs assez élevés de tout le merch, les réductions CM sont bloquées jusqu'au moins décembre .
Merci à vous nunavik et Salvalia pour vos témoignages. Je pense qu'une fois de plus, c'est l'impatience qui nous poussent tous à faire des critiques sur tout et n'importe quoi avant d'avoir un tantinet de recul. Visiblement, les avis sont unanimes, le land est réussi, l'attraction ouverte un peu moins. Rise of the Resistance a l'air prometteuse, tout le monde est d'accord que c'est peut-être pas le choix du siècle d'avoir voulu l'ouvrir plus tard. Très probable qu'à son ouverture, elle fasse carton plein. Et point. On va pas épiloguer 107 ans sur le choix des imagineers sur la prélogie choisie, la planète, la musique, tout ça est une question de goût. Quant aux prix, c'est la loi de l'offre et la demande. Disney ne met que le prix que les gens sont prêts à payer. S'ils les augmentent encore, c'est qu'ils n'ont pas encore atteint le profit maximal. S'ils les descendaient, ce serait qu'ils les auraient surévalués. On verra bien si en Europe, Disney estime qu'ils peuvent pratiquer les mêmes prix.

Disneyland’s new Rise of the Resistance ride will last at least 15 minutes at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge
The 'Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Adventure Awaits' TV special revealed new details about the Rise of the Resistance dark ride coming to Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The new Rise of the Resistance attraction coming in January to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland that has been billed as 4 rides in 1 will be at least 15 minutes long from start to finish, according to Disney theme park officials.
“Imagine being chased for 15 minutes by Kylo Ren and the First Order. Stormtroopers everywhere. Lightsabers coming at you,” Bob Chapek, chairman of Disney parks, experiences and products, said of Rise of the Resistance during a new TV special. “It’s going to be fantastic.”
A 10-minute segment during the “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge — Adventure Awaits” television show on Freeform on Sunday night revealed new details about the Rise of the Resistance dark ride, which is scheduled to open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida on Dec. 5 and Disneyland in Anaheim on Jan. 17.
The new attraction will put riders in the middle of a battle between the villainous First Order and the heroic Resistance in a dangerous off-planet mission as new recruits. Along the way, the recruits will be captured aboard a Star Destroyer, break out of a First Order detention cell, elude the clutches of Kylo Ren and escape back to a secret base on the Star Wars planet of Batuu, the setting for the new 14-acre Galaxy’s Edge lands.
The Rise of the Resistance attraction will feature videotaped, holographic and audio-animatronic appearances by some of the characters from the latest Star Wars trilogy. The “Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – Adventure Awaits” TV special showed scenes being filmed for the Rise of the Resistance ride by Daisy Ridley (who plays Rey), John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Issac (Poe Dameron) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren). The actors recorded their scenes for the new attraction while making the upcoming “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” movie.
“What was amazing about shooting for the Rise of the Resistance attraction was it felt like just an extension of the film and an extension of the story,” Issac said during the “Adventure Awaits” TV special. “Because we were on the set when I was in the X-wing already and we were shooting scenes. It just felt like a continuation of the saga.”
Rey, the Star Wars heroine played by Ridley, will be the first Resistance member riders meet in the new Galaxy’s Edge attraction. She will welcome new recruits via a hologram message.
“A covert Resistance team led by my friend Finn has infiltrated the First Order Star Destroyer that is now headed to this system,” Ridley said during the TV special while filming a green-screen scene as Rey for the attraction.
The “Adventure Awaits” TV special showed Issac filming Rise of the Resistance scenes as Poe Dameron aboard an X-wing motion simulator at Pinewood Studios outside London where many recent “Star Wars” movies have been filmed. The green screen scene was surrounded by a 360-degree light stage that simulated the effects of explosions and laser blasts.
“We’ve got company,” Issac said as Poe Dameron in the scene filmed for Rise of the Resistance. “First Order TIE fighters. Reroute! Reroute!”
The TV special offered a brief glimpse of the Rise of the Resistance dark ride vehicle load stations located just outside the First Order detention cells. One load station was flanked by armed stormtrooper figures. Each 8-seat ride vehicle will be piloted by an R5 droid.
“The droids are programmed to return you to Batuu,” Boyega says as Finn in one scene from the attraction. “Don’t get caught. And hurry.”
During the TV special, actors in motion capture suits performed stormtrooper stunts in a soundstage studio. Stormtroopers are expected to fire blasters at riders from an upper level in the Rise of the Resistance attraction.
“When its our darkest moment and we don’t know how we’re going to get out of the situation that we’re in, Finn shows up and gives us special instructions on how to get down to the bottom of the Star Destroyer and get off before the whole place goes sky high,” Walt Disney Imagineering executive creative director John Larena said during the TV special.
“Poe’s coming back with an attack force,” Boyega said while filming a scene as Finn in stormtrooper armor. “Get to your escape pod now.”
The escape pods are expected to be part of an elevator lift and descent sequence in the Rise of the Resistance attraction.
“I know there’s a lot of blaster action by me,” said Boyega of his scenes in the attraction as Finn. “While you guys get away, I hold off the enemy. Then it ends with, hopefully, a great victory for the Resistance.”
At 15 minutes or more in duration, Rise of the Resistance would be one of the longest ride-based attractions at Disneyland. By comparison, It’s a Small World is approximately 14 minutes and Pirates of the Caribbean is about 15 minutes. Earlier in the year, Walt Disney Imagineering officials shot down online speculation that the Rise of the Resistance ride time would clock in at a whopping 28 minutes.

La seule chose qui m’inquiète un peu et ca rejoint ce que disait Mister F, c'est l'immobilité des stormtroopers...
On en vois un tourner la tete alors peut etre qu'ils seront pas tous animées mais en mode garde a vous, surveillance tu bouge pas ,tu tournes juste ta tete pour surveiller .Et puis ,on passera peut etre rapidement sans s'en apercevoir donc.
Yes ces images proviennent du clip de Imagineering Story, la nouvelle série documentaire qui sera disponible sur Disney +. Enfin une série consacrée aux Ingénieurs du rêve !
La première photo correspond bien au Gun Deck et les deux autres, au hangar des walker (AT-AT).
Trop hâte de découvrir les premières vidéos de cette attraction !
Disney Feels The Force As New Star Wars Lands Create 15,500 Jobs
Disney has revealed that the new Star Wars lands at its theme parks in California and Florida have had a magic touch on the labor market as 15,500 new permanent and temporary jobs have been created by them since construction began in 2016.
Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opened at Disneyland in California in May then at Walt Disney World in Florida three months later. At 14 acres apiece, the expansions are the biggest single-themed lands in the history of the resorts and are a whole new world for Disney.
Theme park rides are famous for their whimsical design and bold colors but Galaxy's Edge looks more like a movie set. It was deliberately built this way to make the land itself as much of an attraction as the rides inside it.
There’s a military encampment hidden deep in the forest, shops and restaurants inside huge circular turrets and craggy spires which soar up to 130-feet in height with sleek lookout posts cut into the side of them. They are part of the 200,000 square feet of artificial rockwork which covers the land along with around 260,000 square feet of themed plaster. Creating it took much more than the wave of a magic wand.
According to data from Disney, 6,700 temporary construction workers and artisans were employed in the development of the land in California which reportedly cost around $1 billion. Its east coast counterpart had a similar price tag and was built by 5,500 temporary workers as well as 51 prime contractors and consultants, 84% of which are Florida-based. Then come the cadets who work there permanently.
Disney's data shows that Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland directly created 1,600 new operation jobs ranging from restaurant and ride operations to supervisors and managers. The land in Florida is almost a carbon copy of the one in California so its tally of new operations jobs comes to around the same at 1,700. They cast a powerful spell.
The data reveals that the land in California is expected to generate a total of $14 billion in economic output over the next 40 years as well as $14 million of additional municipal and state tax revenue. In the fiscal year to September 2018 alone, the entire resort, its employees, visitors and supporting third-party businesses generated nearly $510 million in annual state and local tax revenue according to a study by the Woods Center for Economic Analysis and Forecasting at California State University Fullerton (CSUF).
“Tourism is one of the major and growing segments of the economy as consumers shift more of their spending to leisure activities. Disneyland Resort has shown phenomenal growth,” said Anil Puri, director of the Woods Center. Its study shows that the annual economic impact of Disneyland has risen by 50% to $8.5 billion since 2013 thanks to its continued investment and business growth.
The study reveals Disneyland’s direct, indirect and induced economic impact on the seven-county Southern California region and throughout the state. Perhaps the greatest grassroots impact is on employment as Disneyland created more than 78,000 jobs in Southern California during fiscal year 2018 alone with 73% of them in Orange County where the resort is based. It directly employs 31,000 staff who are known as Cast Members due to the role they play in a themed environment.
This makes it the largest employer in Orange County and, thanks to expansions like Galaxy's Edge, its growth has been out of this world. “Since 2013, Southern California has seen average employment growth of 2.3% per year, according to the State of California’s Employment Development Department,” said Aaron Popp, assistant professor of economics at CSUF. “Disneyland’s overall effect on employment has risen at more than triple that rate.”
The park was opened in 1955 by Walt Disney himself and changed the landscape of the leisure sector. The amusement parks of his era had few rides that parents could enjoy with their children and were often dirty and unsafe. Disney changed that by infusing his rides with the stories which had become famous in his blockbuster movies.
No longer was a roller-coaster a winding track in mid-air. Instead, the version in Walt’s fairytale-themed park is a runaway mine train integrated into a mock-up of the mountains from Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah.
When Disney developed a log flume it didn’t follow the conventional model of those found at fairs which are are usually bare steel structures that winch a boat up one side before dropping it down the other into a pool of water.
Instead, Splash Mountain at Disneyland is built inside a mock-up of a giant tree stump and is based on the 1946 movie Song of the South which culminates in Brer Fox throwing his nemesis Brer Rabbit into a briar patch. The story is told during the ride using Audio-Animatronics - moving models co-ordinated to music and speech - whilst the drop at the finale represents Brer Rabbit being flung by his enemy.
Since opening, the Disneyland Resort has welcomed more than 800 million guests and now spans 500 acres featuring three hotels, an entertainment district and two parks - the fairytale-inspired original and the neighboring Disney California Adventure.
It is still growing and in January Disney's latest Star Wars attraction Rise of the Resistance will premiere in California one month after it makes its debut in Florida. The ride is set to be the star attraction of Galaxy's Edge as it is being billed as one of the most cutting-edge creations in Disney's history.
It comes at just the right time as The Rise of Skywalker, the latest instalment in the Star Wars saga, will hit cinemas in December. The new theme park ride will drive guests to the movie and in turn that fuels the sale of high-margin merchandise.
It explains why theme parks are at the heart of Disney's business model and in the year-ending September 29 2018, parks and resorts generated more revenue and profit than any of the Mouse's divisions except for media networks. Parks and resorts revenue rose 10.2% to $20.3 billion whilst their profit grew even more. It surged 18.4% to $4.5 billion and, for stockholders, that really is a happy ending.
Voxon Photonics a développé un appareil permettant d'afficher un simili d'hologramme (en faisant vibrer un écran très rapidement sur une distance impressionnant d'une dizaine de centimètres), et j'ai tout de suite pensé au Millennium Falcon et son holojeu Dejarik. Et c'est marrant, car à partir de 4:14 dans la vidéo ci-dessus, son créateur dit qu'il a eu la même idée et a même contacté quelques personnes chez Disney. Il présente même une version circulaire spécifique.
Voilà le genre d'effet spéciaux vraiment novateur que j'aimerais voir d'avantage de la part de Disney ! Parce que, autant je suis toujours aussi fan des miroirs et pepper ghosts, autant ça fait un moment que Disney n'a rien proposé de réellement bluffant et innovant...
Cette pub est très cinématographique. J'ai l'impression que la moitié des effets ne peuvent être rendu en live. Je suis curieux de voir le rendu final.

C'est exactement ce que je me suis dis ! Trop d'effet rajouté en post prod pour savoir ce qu'on aura exactement dans l'attraction hormis les décors en dur.. Mais la pub reste très belle et donne envie même si au final ça ne dit rien sur la synopsie du ride..
Le but n'étant pas de savoir mais de donner envie aux gens de venir, et je ne vois pas comment cela pourrait en être autrement !
Certes mais exposer un peu l'histoire, la mettre en scène, est bien aussi..
Si je prends la pub de Space mountain de 95, on avait le pitch de départ sans trop en dévoiler mais on savait pertinemment quelle aventure nous attendait, ici on voit juste un succession de scène..

Et pourtant d'après les différentes descriptions que l'on a pu voir, certains de ces effets sont bien réels !

La pub de Space qui se passait à notre époque (ordinateurs et tout) alors que l'attraction est censée se dérouler du temps de Jules Verne ? J'adore cette pub dans sa version courte, elle donnait des frissons... Mais qu'est-ce qu'elle était hors-sujet quand on y pense !
Pour celle de ROTR, oui il y a plein d'ajouts en post-prod c'est évident... J'attends d'être surpris mais la plupart des effets sont irréalisables tels que montrés là.
