But Tokyo does have all of those things, except for the second drop. Unfortunately it also has Jack Sparrow but all of them do at this point.Any PoC that cuts out the bayou, both drops and the cursed caverns is garbage.

If it's 20 min or less at DHS or DLP I'll do it, but not at DLR where it's always 45 min or more.

I like star tours 2 quite a bit. I like it more than the original. It isn't the best simulator attraction ever though, that award goes to harry potter and the forbidden journey IMO (if one counts that, otherwise I have a big soft spot for the simpsons ride)

Delete this. The original Star Tours perfectly captured the magic of Star Wars. The new one is a collection of references and cgi. Absolutely awful!

Spider-Man is better. In its heyday, Back to the Future was more impressive as traditional types of simulators go. Soarin' is basically a tame version of BTTF without fog or gullwing doors.
Old Star Tours was better as far as the motions go. I remember hanging out of my seat when the ship dived, for instance. Star Tours II has less intense motion and is more reliant on its hectic 3D imagery. It doesn't work a lot of the time. Compare going through the Death Star to the original ride. Yeah.
Still, the Naboo scene is fairly intense and exciting. I remember thinking that stuff would translate well to a new Star Tour ride when I first watched The Phantom Menace and I was right.

My favorite Disneyland California rides would have to be the ones that only exist in California, and not in Tokyo, Paris, Orlando or Red China.
Rides like, and in no particular order;
Golden Zephyr
Silly Symphony Swings
Sailing Ship Columbia
Mr. Toad's Wild Ride
Alice In Wonderland
Matterhorn Bobsleds
Submarine Voyage
Red Car Trolley
Storybook Land Canal Boats
Casey Jr. Circus Train (sitting in the Monkey Cage, naturally)
Luigi's Rollickin' Roadsters
Radiator Springs Racers (AKA "Cars Ride")
Heimlich's Chew Chew Train (narrated by a gay Austrian insect suffering from gastro-intestinal issues)
Flik's Flyers
Pixar Ferris Wheel Of Death (swinging cabins preferred)

I shall be the one who unironically likes every disliked ride.
Well except super star limo and sounds dangerous, the two worst attractions ever made.

You're a mess today, man. Hating on the original Star Tours but not adoring Superstar Limo? How is this possible?

It definitely is now. What is even the point of Star Tours anymore? It’s just a vehicle to sell the new Star Wars trilogy.

Star Tours was one of my favorite rides. This new version is garbage.

I would like it more if it had all the random scenes back instead of just the new ones.

Agree there. Bring back the randomness.

Star Tours needs to bring back the "lived in" look of the queue with random droid parts scattered around. Also the entire ride should be actually footage of models and C-3PO, or any other Star Wars character, should not be in the cabin. In fact, no Star Wars character except for R2-D2 should even be within the ride itself. It all needs to be 100% original trilogy based and rely exclusively on the world of Star Wars instead of relying on its characters like it currently does.
