Replace Star Tours with Body Wars 2.0 and a new random branching movie staring Elisabeth Shue.

That's the dream.

I just would love to see Tomorrowland turned in to an updated version of Epcot's Future World. It could be all those things we were suppose to get with Westcot. It's only a dream away.

The current plan is for Star Tours to close when SWL opens. It's a safe assumption right now to expect a retooled Iron Man Experience to replace it, although I hope those plans are reconsidered and Marvel is kept to just DCA. Still a bit of a way off, and there's usually some kind of exclusivity agreement on all new HKDL attractions.

My sweet, little heart just broke in half.

Haha ya I'm excited not really for the Star Wars content but for the simple fact that something new is finally coming to DL in the form of a beautiful, immersive land. I'm cautiously optimistic that at least one of the two attractions will be groundbreaking. Of course there are probably 10 other IPs I would have liked to see get love before Star Wars but still excited nevertheless. The restaurant is the one thing that was a surprise to me. I mean if I sat down and thought about it I guess it would have been obvious that a 14 acre Star Wars land would have at least one table service. But with all the talk of the rides and ROA demolition I didn't give it much thought. The concept art looks pretty cool.

On another note as popular as Star Tours is its still hard to believe that It is not moving to SWL, staying in TL and most likely going to Yesterland in the next 5-10 years. It's also puzzling because everything I read says Hollywood Studios and Disneylands version of SWL will be pretty much identical and Hollywood Studios will be building around Star Tours.

My guess is that after experiencing two ultra modern, high tech Star Wars rides guests may not lament the loss so much.

I guess I missed the fact that there is a Cantina AND a sit down restaurant.

Soooooo, the current plan is for Disneyland's Star Wars to close and NOT be moved over to Star Wars Land? Wasn't it just updated, I think, five years ago?

There is no place to put Star Tours in SWL, and it will be redundant in the face of the two cutting edge new attractions across the park. An update doesn't guarantee a long life span.

You mean Adventure thru Inner Space 2.0 (although let's face it, that's pretty much what Body Wars 1.0 was!)

Not to mention the update will be 8 years old by the time that Star Wars land opens.

As long as Shue is in something tight and form fitting it's all good.

I have no idea what this thread is about anymore, but the special stunk.

So ......from what i gather, i did not miss anything since i did not see the 'Disneyland 60th' television special.

Here i casually stop by expecting to hear all about the great stuff i missed out on seeing.....and....well....

Perhaps these timely photos will express the impression i am getting -

Folks after seeing the tv special -

There was no Tony Baxter in it!

 

[Figments Friend]

There was no Tony Baxter in it!

Thus why i did not bother watching it !



What's a 'Disneyland tv special ' without Tony and his stories...??

But will the Cantina serve alcohol...million dollar question. They eventually let it into the MK, could see them breaking ranks and doing the same out here.

It would be great if they would update ST with something really great, not tied to an existing IP...but who are we kidding. I think retooling it to Iron Man is a mistake since as you say, that should stay in DCA. How about moving the simulators to DCA with Iron man theme and gutting the ST building for an all new attraction. I know, Monster's Inc Laugh Floor! Yay!!

Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a SW version of the Beauty and The Beast dining experience at The MK.

Then why is Disney's Hollywood Studios just building their Star Wars Land AROUND Star Tours?

And the one guy in the whole thing who has been involved with the parks never spoke about them.

Because they have the geographical luxury of doing so and DHS needs everything it can get. What kind of sense would it make at Disneyland to have Star Wars Land on one side of the park and Star Tours on the other? None. Since the space/the will isn't there to move Star Tours at DL, it will close.
