Final week, it was reported that Disney World is shutting down its Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser immersive expertise after solely being in operation for a yr and a half. The resort/immersive cruise-like expertise is closing its doorways this September, and the explanation appears to be due to the big price ticket connected to the keep. Disney launched the next assertion in regards to the closure:
“Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser is one in every of our most inventive tasks ever and has been praised by our friends and acknowledged for setting a brand new bar for innovation and immersive leisure. This premium, boutique expertise gave us the chance to strive new issues on a smaller scale of 100 rooms, and as we put together for its closing voyage, we are going to take what we’ve discovered to create future experiences that may attain extra of our friends and followers.”
What we’re listening to now in regards to the firm’s last-ditch efforts to attempt to save the resort, is that Disney thought of re-branding the expertise, and theming it round The Mandalorian. Theme park historian Jim Hill supplied some perception to The Wrap (by way of /Movie), with the report stating the next:
“Another choice just lately emerged in accordance with Hill: re-theme your entire resort to the favored Disney+ ‘Star Wars’ streaming collection ‘The Mandalorian.’ Experiences have since emerged that Imagineers have been on the Starcruiser as just lately as final week, taking a look at methods they might retrofit or change the expertise.”
Finally, CEO Bob Iger shut these plans down, leading to the entire thing being scrapped as a substitute. Disney by no means formally confirmed the price of the enterprise, however this report pegs it at round $1 billion. I do know that at roughly $1,600 per individual to remain on the Galactic Starcruiser, I used to be by no means going to go, a lot much less take the entire fam. However for those who’re a wealthy geek, will you be attempting to get in a keep earlier than it closes this September? Tell us.
