DISNEY GETS A FACE-LIFT INTO THE FUTURE
So-Cal is feeling the force! Disneyland has announced that they plan to temporarily close The Rivers of America to make way for Star Wars Land. Jedi and Sith alike will no doubt be celebrating.
Disney has yet to announce when the new addition will open, but in announcing the park expansion, Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger said it would include a re-creation of the Millennium Falcon, in which guests can take the controls for a “customized secret mission,” along with an immersive attraction that will put visitors into “a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance.”
We do know that several rides are permanently closing like Big Thunder Ranch, Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue, Big Thunder Ranch petting zoo and Big Thunder Ranch Jamboree. The estimated 14-acre update will also temporarily close rides and attractions including Fantasmic, the Mark Twain Riverboat, the Sailing Ship Columbia, the Pirates Lair on Tom Sawyer Island, the Disneyland Railroad and the Davy Crockett Explorer Canoes.
One can only hope that the construction is faster than the Millennium Falcon’s Kessel Run. – SansSensibility
