I say KEEP IT, as its an attraction its part of the capacity of the park. Removing it just subtracts capacity.

True. It’s exterior is kidna a relic of the “studio within a studio” part tho, with the half stuff. Maybe update it,make all the stuff whole? In my mind I always thought it gets replaced with a similar high capacity ride. I would 100% be down with star tours and muppets living in harmony as DHS’s “classic” rides with tower. Maybe make it fit into grand avenue, build an indoor space where the outdoor space was, like Tokyo?

I thought that was just a joke. Are they actually considering that?
I agree it's a good movie, but if they're putting it in the Tree of Life, I don't think it needs a whole land over in Hollywood Studios.
Mind you, I don't think we need a Little Mermaid show in Hollywood Studios AND a Little Mermaid dark ride in the Magic Kingdom either, so what do I know?

Star Tours is interesting for many reasons. It’s the easiest ride to use as a promotion for new Star Wars content since it is in DLR, WDW, DLP, and TDR and it’s relatively easy to add new sequences.
It’s also currently the only attraction where guests can see beloved characters like Darth Vader, Princess Leia, or the Mandalorian. Until Disney finds a way to add these characters to Galaxy’s Edge, I think Star Tours has a home.
Studios ALSO has much bigger fish to fry in terms of replacements. Animation Courtyard is ripe for replacement (either Monsters or something else entirely). RnRC is getting more dated every day. Beauty and Indy aren’t the draws they once were, especially with those franchises represented in other parks. I think that’ll keep Star Tours around for a while longer.
The only way I see Star Tours disappearing is if Disney needs a cheap easy overlay and they can clone something for some of the other Star Tours around the world. Basically I think Disneyland’s Tomorrowland revamp is our best chance at seeing Star Tours replaced.

That is true. DHS always has bigger fish to fry, and star tours and muppets are two park institutions that have much needed capacity, and history at a park that has is the ship of thesus of wdw. It’s also just pure fun, and easily changeable. I do hope Disney isn’t blinded by “expand and replace” and allows them to be the parks supporting cast.
It was considered in the past, yes. Who knows now. I think parking it in DHS is still the top contender. Definitely the fan favorite at the moment but what fans what and what Disney wants are two very different things. Could you imagine Zootopia in the Land Pavilion? Crazy to think.
That makes too much sense! So naturally, Never gonna happen.

If I had my way, I would not put it in the ToL - ITTBAB is great and doesn't need to be changed - and would just put a land at DHS. I think Zootopia actually is a good choice for a well fleshed out single IP land, but it needs to be in the correct park (which would be DHS and definitely not DAK).
Whatever DHS gets after Monsters Inc though should be something with multiple attractions. The park desperately needs smaller things that aren't scheduled shows to "round things out".

Apparently, Disney also wants to put... ugh... The Simpsons in Hollywood Studios.

I think this is the issue more than Zootopia itself -- while I don't care about Zootopia as an IP, I'd have no problem with it going into DHS. The Shanghai ride looks mediocre, though, and it's hard to imagine they'd design a completely new attraction when they could just reuse that one. I think most people are not especially enthusiastic about that ride or the idea of it coming to WDW over something else.

I believe this is the chilled water plant for Epcot. I don't imagine they'd love to move that.
And we all know WOL is gonna be PLAY! any day now...

AT THIS TIME OF DAY, AT THIS TIME OF YEAR, IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY, LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR STUDIO THEME PARK?
In all seriousness, I am 110% down. Bring it on.

I gotta echo @ToTBellHop
I don’t think what they’ve done to EPCOT (bar CommuniCore Hall) is ugly, it just is a very mostly nondescript modernist design. I rather like the trees and garden. I also can’t say that area of EPCOT was a visual marvel to start with (the awnings were especially unsightly). Less an ugly downgrde more a lateral movement with some small patches of improvement.
1. It violates the law of "don't replace, add," albeit that's just a fan law that Disney doesn't care about.
2. It *could* replace RnRC if and only if you remove the existing track. Monsters is a hanging coaster and the RnRC track is incompatible with that.
I'm sorry for veering off topic and talking about Monstropolis.

That's an even worse idea than it replacing MV. Also, wouldn't really make any sense as the door coaster concept if a completely different roller coaster design than RNR so would basically mean just tearing it out and completely replacing which would defeat the purpose of using RNR. Nothing wrong with RNR's ride system that would warrant tearing it out.
That being said, insiders have hinted that RNR is getting an Incredibles theme at some point down the road.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
Agreed.
I dont know why everyone consistently thinks I am against common sense logic.
But Disney has moved past common since so I'm just trying to think of solutions in Disney's head that would keep muppets. And with Rockin's consistent maintenance problems and downtime, and it already having the big coaster building, I thought it'd make sense.
Who's to say we couldnt get something ELSE new in Launch Bay???

No its not.

Odd considering it was redone in 2005
