A new attraction is coming to Star Wars Weekends at Disney Hollywood Studios this year. A replica of the pit monster – Sarlac thingy from Return of the Jedi will be opened to the public.
In Return of the Jedi, Luke, Chewy, and Han were to be executed by being thrown into a pit with a big mouth at the bottom. C3PO is kind enough to explain that anyone thrown into the pit will be slowly digested. After that a battle breaks out, all the good guys escape, the bad guys die, and a lot of people fall into the pit.
Now Star Wars fans will be able to experience what it’s like to be tossed into the pit. Complete with sandy slopes and tentacles, the new attraction is a site to behold.
“To make the experience as real as possible we’ve added a vat of concentrated acid that people will plunge into. As long as we get them out in less than a minute it shouldn’t kill them. It’ll just help them to understand what it’s like to be digested,” a Disney spokesman stated.
“We have a spring board above the pit, just like in the movie. We’re going to tie the guests up and then hit them in the spine with a big stick just like they did in “Jedi.” We think that will really add to the realism. We have also developed a method of multiple photo ops. Cameras are synced up. The first takes your picture when you’re hit in the spine. The stick has a trigger at the end of it. The second camera is high speed motion sensitive camera that will take a picture as the guest falls towards the pit. The third picture is also motion sensitive and is triggers as the guest hits the vat of acid. The fourth camera is pressure sensitive and triggers when the person crawls out of the vat and steps or falls onto the floor. We are going to offer all four pictures for the price of one and frame them to make a special package,” the spokesman continued.
The attraction should be ready by opening day. Arrive early, as long lines are expected throughout the weekend.
