Disney to open new ‘Star Wars’ theme parks
 |
Walt Disney Co. has announced it is to construct two new Star Wars theme parks at Disneyland, California, and Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. |
According to CNN, among the planned attractions will be a chance for visitors to enjoy drinks at a Mos Eisley-style cantina and fly into one of the most recognizable ships in the galaxy, the Millennium Falcon.
Speaking about the new project, Disney CEO Bob Iger, said: “We wanted to bring ‘Star Wars’ to every corner of our company ... Not only on screens but in real life.”
“We are creating a jaw-dropping new world that represents our largest single-themed land expansion ever,” he said.
“These new lands at Disneyland and Walt Disney World will transport guests to a whole new Star Wars planet, including an epic
Star Wars adventure that puts you in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance,” he added.
The announcement was made Saturday at the company's D23 Expo – although no timescale was given for the project.
