Well...the original Journey Into The Imagination meant everything to me...as did Horizons... Two complex, beautifully designed rides that were actually pretty timeless and definitely better rides than Dinosaur...both removed and destroyed... I have no empathy for Dinosaur...especially since the Indiana Jones version is better storytelling and much better theming overall.

Well from what it sounds like, they could just be adding Indiana Jones and those dinosaurs will still be there. They might even have more dinosaurs!

And also I hope they make the dinosaurs the same color as they are on dinosaur.

The character doesn't. Wakanda itself? I could see an argument for it in Africa ... But do you think they care? lol. We say this kind of thing all the time but they do what they want. It's not me giving them a pass for doing it but they don't really care about whether it makes sense or not.

Im with you. And that's where I'm a little confused. Use Indy for the boat ride. Put it in DHS. Makes sense to me? I mean ... DHS needs more! They seem to understand that but at the same time ... it's really sad to say that five new attractions aren't enough. One is a replacement. Three are 'replacements' in the sense that Backlot, LMA and Jack Sparrow closed. So in reality we're getting a net gain of one attraction, if you want to look at it that way. Plus we still have 30 year old stage shows ... and Launch Bay. And unthemed warehouses. Lots of work still needs to get done. So much for an overhaul.

If they wanted to keep costs down they could just put an Indy crash test dummy in the car with you. If you want him to talk, you just have to pull the string.

Right - "Launch Bay." That's just something to keep from boarding up what used to be the most interesting attraction at WDW. Launch Bay definitely doesn't count.

So if they tear down the Stunt Show at the Studios and build a proper Indiana Jones attraction there, what are they going to do with Star Tours... It already seems miserably out of place with the rest of Star Wars on the other side of the muppets area... Would they ever consider moving Star Tours to the entance of Galaxy's Edge opening the space up for another attraction (Great Muppet Ride )?

I don't think anyone knows that just yet. Although, I'm sure whatever they do with regard to the dinosaurs, it will be an accurate portrayal of the dinosaurs.

But the carnot
But the carnotaurus will be the same just like on dinosaur right?

We don't know until we see concept art or until it actually opens.

I have been thinking this too, that the Star Tours ride now is awfully disconnected from the rest of the land. It is tough to build a park, and then add onto it though I am sure without knowing the future plans. Part of me wishes they had made SWL behind Star Tours, so you had to ride Star Tours to get there, or at least walk through the queue. I do think though that Star Tours could have a nice impact in the MK in Tomorrowland similar to how it is done in DL. It would add a much needed attraction to MK. It's already built for the most part, so it would need to be moved - which I am sure isn't cheap but possibly cheaper than a brand new attraction. Or they could simply move Star Tours into the SWL with a Phase 2 type build to expand on the land and add further attractions. This would make way for Indiana Jones to expand, or for the Muppets to expand into the Star Tours spot in DHS, or an entirely new project all together.

Nobody can say at this time. You would probably save yourself a lot of stress by trying to ignore this thread. I understand you are concerned but you are not going to get the definitive answers you desire. If a decision is ever made it will be announced by Disney.

I think they're changing his color to a light fuschia/pinkish hue, adding feathers, and giving his eyes a sadder less threatening look.

It’s been stated a few times that the plan is to give Star Tours a new IP a couple years after SWL opens

also, he will now be holding a cupcake...and the smellitzer system salvaged from Horizons will spray "birthday cake" scent each time he appears on the ride... to no one's surprise, they will be selling cupcakes in the gift shop.
