Disney World cast members sign steel beam for topping off of Star Wars land
Disney World cast members and Walt Disney Imagineers are marking history by signing the steel beam that will be the highest point in the new Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge land coming to Hollywood Studios in 2019.
The signed beam will become part of the landscape in the tallest spire of rock rising behind the iconic Millennium Falcon spaceship. The beam will form the highest point in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge.
The crew is also autographing a “time capsule” banner that will be presented to the new land’s opening-day team in 2019.
The signing took place during Nov. 12-14, 2017 in a backstage area just outside the site of the new land.
The milestone topping off ceremony, where the last beams cap off the highest point of construction, took place at the Disneyland version of the park in August.
The 14-acre land at Disney World will take guests to a remote trading port on the edge of space, where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life – and where guests find themselves in the middle of the action. Two major attractions anchoring the new land. One ride willed you fly the Millennium Falcon and in the other you are placed in the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance.
