I'd be OK with them nixing the Star Wars theme here and that's coming from a guy who thinks this is still the better Star Wars simulator attraction. But, it's time for something new.

I would be terrified to see what they come up with. As you said this is the better simulation attraction, so until they come up with something amazing, leave it alone!! Marie

What if they did something completely original here and cut the top of the Star Speeders off and made them look like cars. They could then show a movie from the Disney+ HIT SHOW The Simpsons. Maybe we could visit Krustyland in our car but something would go terribly wrong.

A quick search of these boards reveals that many here have long-dreamed of a Simpsons ride in Central Florida. It feels like the perfect opportunity. They could even remove Jedi Training and put in a Lard-Lad’s Donuts to further build on this original concept. Duff Beer at Backlot Express, anyone?

I believe that there is indeed a Simpson ride in Central Florida in a place called Universal Studio's Florida. I like the Simpsons as well as the next guy, but if I want to see them I'll watch them on TV. The last Simpson ride they created sucked bad enough to create the vacuum in space.

You're 10 days too early on this. Don't you remember the Teams call? This was supposed to be an April 1 post, remember???

So difficult to get good help these days...

I hope this is for a solution to the "half-finished sets" facade. IMHO, it's one of Disney's biggest thematic black eyes (and I realize that's saying something).

Now that it's no longer obviously a movie set (with the signs and equipment), today's guests think Disney just didn't finish the theming (a la Universal of old). People even look at the back of the AT-AT and say things like "wow, Disney didn't think anyone would turn around?" It's an embarrassment to the Disney name like DCA 1.0.

Disney should either make it clear that this is a movie set until it's changed entirely, or change it into part of the cityscape theme now.

Agreed. It was a GOOD idea at the time (even if I question how clear it truly was to the average guest, including me at first), but it makes zero sense these days, and just feels cheap, despite how impressive the figures otherwise are
