a rocket rods/star wars type attraction is an interesting thought - would love to see a star wars attraction that wasn't a simulator. maybe if disney created thier own 'spiderman' type attraction through the star wars universe.
oh man, just think of the possibilities. it would no doubt require them to gut and expand the current building, but the attraction would be able to transport guests through all the movie locations (traveling at hyperspace to get from place to place). lightsaber duels can take place right over head as well as pod racers blasting past the ride vehicle - with the finale a blasing escape run out of the death star core ala return of the jedi. just think of how amazingly and fully disney imagineers could immerse guests in that breakneck escape
sheesh - the more i think about it, the more incredible ideas just keep popping up.
for those of you who have never experienced spiderman at universal studios, get your hineys over there - then when you're done gushing about the attraction, start thinking what disney and lucas could do with a smiliar type of attraction. i'm not saying rip off spidey, i'm just thinking disney could take the concept of a motion ride that combines 3D to an entirely new level. top it off with star wars themeing and hot damn, youre on FIRE!!!!
with all that tho, i've gotta say: though clunky and old, i still love star tours - being a huge fan of the original trilogy, i never get tired of flying along x-wings and taking a bombing run on the death star trench.
