Star Tours being built photo

[Father Robinson]

Found this amazing photo that I've never seen before of the exterior of ST being constructed. How amazing this would've been to see being built back then!

It would have been a bit of a bummer standing behind the wall not being able to ride.

Certainly felt that way with EE, and more recently 7DMT.

Visiting annually, we got used to the Dwarf Coaster not being finished.

Oh same here, was more frustrating to constantly see it under construction in the middle of FLE. Sounds bad, I know, but what can I say, I'm human, and a Disney dork.

How about Test Track looking done for years but behind schedule. Or worse Rocket Rods never being open at DL.

The wall that came down weeks before that less important wall in Berlin! What an amazing year.

On the upside, the wall offered comics and a tour of the model by a cm!

Was that extended queue to the left of the entrance ever built? I don't recall ever seeing it (my first visit to the Studios was '95) and it seems like it would block the parade gates. The only thing I recall along this area were the props that later moved to the Backlot Tour, like the snow speeder and desert skiff.

I think it is where the Jedi stage is now?

I don't know if that area was build as modelled. Here's an early pic for comparison, looks like it did at least get filled in:

Correct. That's exactly where the Jedi training stage is.
