A Hazardous Design?
The slippery floors of Galaxy’s Edge appear to be unique to the themed area. Speculation among parkgoers suggests that the flooring material, designed for realism for the land, is often a leading potential fault.

The guest noted that they were not moving quickly, only walking at a regular pace when the incidents occurred. “Another lady slipped and fell at the exact same time as my girlfriend,” they wrote, adding that others in the area were also commenting on how slippery and potentially dangerous the flooring was.

“PSA: Galaxy’s Edge is Extremely Slippery
Discussion
Just a PSA to anyone going to the parks during the colder season. This morning my girlfriend slipped not once but TWICE in galaxy’s edge. We weren’t even moving quickly — just walking at a regular pace around the park. The first fall was minor but the second was pretty bad. Another lady slipped and fell at the exact same time as my girlfriend, and all around everyone was complaining about how slippery and dangerous the floors are.Why is this area like this? None of the other attractions in the park are this slippery. I can’t help but imagine what would have happened if someone older like my grandmother had slipped and fallen instead of my girlfriend. Seems like a very bad accident waiting to happen.”
