Uh No, I didn't say that. SW land will be an attendance and revenue driver for the resort unlike Launch Bay.

Definitely. With the exception of Chewie and Kylo Ren, Launch Bay kind of sucks.

Launch Bay is a glorified gift shop.

Anyone know how long Hyperspace Mountain is set to stay around?

It's a safe bet to say that Hyperspace Mountain will be in place until Star Wars Land opens.

Thank you both. I'm heading to DL in June and would love to experience Hyperspace Mountain.

What about Star Tours? Are we stuck with Finn until it opens, or can we expect to see a random rotation again in the near future?

Initially they said the Finn scene would play on every Star Tours round for the first "few months", but I've heard no indication that the ride is going back to normal randomness any time soon. I wouldn't expect anything until later this year, if that.

Do we know yet if they're going to do Space Mountain: Ghost Galaxy this year, or just keep Hyperspace Mountain running through September & October?

If Star Tours now takes place in the era of the new Star Wars movies, shouldn't they change Princess Leia's voice so she sounds like Carrie Fisher in The Force Awakens?

Star Tours is back to it's original random line up. You don't always go to Jaku anymore and get BB-8. Yesterday we got the Vader, the wookiee planet, Admiral Ackbar and Coruscant.

I don't have any info to base this on, but I'd be surprised if they removed the overlay for Ghost Galaxy this year. Hyperspace just seems too popular and is the central part of Seasons of the Force.

Last night I went to see Star Wars: Path of the Jedi. The second half of the show has changed. It is no longer the Force Awakens trailer. It is actually new story and scenes from the Force Awakens. You see a lot more characters and they show Luke on Bespin when Rey has her Force vision at Maz's. It was unexpected and I wonder if we will be seeing scenes from Rogue One in October.

Since it seems pertinent to this discussion, @marni1971 confirmed that Star Tours will continue to get additional destinations for each new movie.
I'm glad the attraction is actually starting to live up to the promise of being constantly added to.

How hard is it to update the destinations though now that Disney owns IML?

There are 4 Star Tours attractions worldwide, so new scenes is a cost effective way to plus 4 resorts. It doesn't impact the ride's future here at DLR, where its still slated to close when SWL opens.
