Disney previews coming Star Wars land attraction, Galaxy's Edge
Disney Parks on Saturday offered the first detailed look at its coming Star Wars attraction at California's Disneyland. The reveal at the D23 fan expo in Anaheim, California, included an announcement of the new park area's name, Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.
The multi-acre expansion will "transport guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before Wild Space," the company said. Among the new rides is one that lets guests fly Han Solo's iconic ship, the Millennium Falcon.
Disney is also working on new attractions featuring Marvel and Pixar characters. Watch a video preview of Galaxy's Edge below, via Disney. Bonnie Kristian
