‘Star Wars’:
Coming to a Theme Park Near You
The seventh film in the “Star Wars” franchise, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” won’t open until December, but already its droids, Jedis and Stormtroopers are flooding the travel world via new “Star Wars” theme park attractions, custom jets and a related museum.
In mid-August, Disney announced that it will build “Star Wars”-themed areas at two of its parks, Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., and Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Fla. At 14 acres each, the “Star Wars” lands will feature two signature attractions, a ride based on the starship Millennium Force from the earliest “Star Wars” releases, and an “experience” that places visitors in a space battle between the First Order and the Resistance, which references the coming trilogy. Disney has not announced an opening date, though construction will begin in 2016.
The two parks will also refresh their existing Star Tours, featuring characters and locations from the new film, later this year. And in early 2016, Season of the Force, a new seasonal fan event, will be held atDisneyland. The themed weekend will be capped by fireworks set to the John Williams film soundtrack.
