Star tours is the greatest ride in MGM!!!! And the store is completely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shareStar tours is the greatest ride in MGM!!!! And the store is completely awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sharethe line is so nicely themed
shareThe store is neat and the setting is great, but the ride is terrible. I was talking to someone who works there about the ride, and she said that Disney wants to update the ride and make it booku awesome, but Lucas won't let them. Someone needs to punch him.
"I am witty and clever." -Me
Lucas refusing to allow an update to one of his works so that people who love the original can always rely on the nostalgia!! That's freakin' out of character for him!
shareHey man, I'm the first one against Greedo shooting first, but this ride is awful! Disney can make it better. Much, much better.
"I am witty and clever." -Me
I believe you... I just think it's funny that of all people Lucas is the one who doesn't want to see it changed. I'm going to Florida in three weeks... I'll have a more fine-tuned opinion after I get home.
The Greedo problem I've always thought is nothing compared to that god awful musical number in Jedi... Greedo can use a hand grenade for all I care, as long as they get rid of that dumbass song.

"Banana Hammock!"
If they are planning to give this attraction a Rehab, then they should let Lucas have ALL THE CONTROL he wants...Its such a same Alien Encounter couldnt be saved ILL NEVER FORGIVE EISNER FOR THAT! NEVER!

They should set the ride up so that there are multiple trips going on other than just the trancport to endor. They should make like a second trip in which your part of the battle of hoth or something like that and the riders get to pick the destination they wish to journey to.
shareI was thinking exactly what VIsra was thinking. Just making a new trip, keep the old classic one in. That way people could choose to go on the new or old one, and it fits perfectly.
Oh and for everyone's info, don't take cast member's info at Disney about new attractions seriously. 90% of the time they have no clue what they are talking about. Lucas is full on with updating the attraction. I really don't think there is anything wrong with the attraction, it's a classic.
I don't like it so much now (I'm 28). But when I was about 12 I absolutely loved it. Well, my husband took our five year old and he loved it. So I guess Disneyland is mostly about seeing the joy through my kid's eyes.
Although once I get there I do mostly turn into A kid at heart!

When I was at Disneyland last, and going on Star Tours I saw on the scrolling marquee a message that said, "Soon Endor won't be the end-all." And, "Soon, Star Tours will offer passage to Hoth, Tattooine and Dagobah".
Its such a same Alien Encounter couldnt be saved
Apparently Lucas hated Eisner. Now with him gone, and Iger doing all he can to fix up the parks, a rehab for the ride looks promising.
shareYeah^ here's the reason why esner and Lucas do not get along. Lucas came to Eisner in 99 wanting to retheme Star Tours after watching the podrace. Eisner who had jusr fallen flat with Rocket Rods declined and Lucas got pissed. Iger had tried to get Disney back into Geiorge's good graces andhas done so successfully.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist.
A podrace does not interest me. I want the ride to be in space, to and from planets, and across vast vistas. Imagine if the ride was built like 'Soaring over California'!
sharePod racing is a bad idea. That is the only part of Episode 1 that I didnt like.
shareI used to be an attractions cast member on star tours. It is true that Lucas has previously refused an update, in fact the ride is not allowed to go down for rehab by contract. If you have ever been down the hallway leading to the wheelchair elevator then perhaps you have seen the duct tape holding together the carpet or mismatched spots of paint. I hope they do not change the video, but I know it is inevitable being as the format is ancient.
By the way... there is another video for the ride already made... and it is a pod race. If they use it or not is another story
I've read Lucas wanted to re-do Star Tours, but Eisner and his merry band of bean-counters wanted to do it on the cheap, and Lucas wouldn't have any of that. Now, with talk of Lucas doing a Star Wars TV series, Iger will give Lucas anything he wants to get in with him, in that he wants the Star Wars series on ABC. Lucas pretty much has a blank check with the ride. That's the story, anway.

Gun control, the theory that 110lb women should have to fistfight with 210lb rapists-Chris Morton
Jim Hill Media is one of the worst "insider" sites there are. Although Lucas really did not get along with Eisner, and a Star Tours update is rumored to be the next project in Tomorrowland at Disneyland after Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is done. Also rumored is a new PeopleMover, but remember those are RUMORS.

Not really.

It is great fun.
It's that man again!!
They should have one of the ships from Close Encounters fly by briefly, to augment the rearranged 5 tones you hear in the cueue line.
