Disney and more has a great compilation of ST2 rumors. Could it be the savings of reorganization will allow Disney to green light some projects like ST2? I hope so!

Cool read. I like the idea of having screens on the side of the vehicle

VERY cool...I really want this to go through soon.
Yep. I think this, the SM refurb and a JII refurb would be a great response to HP. Or at least the start of the response.
Yes I laughed when I read that. A bit encouraging. Anything Star Wars needs AA's or live characters to be Star Wars.

I'm just praying that it isn't the whole Podracer theme. Keep the prequels out of there.
I would probably die if I saw a Darth Vader AA, thought.
EDIT:Oh my gosh or a Boba Fett AA! PLEASE MAKE A BOBA FETT AA DISNEY!

I'm really liking some of these concepts. I really do hope they go through with the idea of windows on the sides, that would truly be thrilling.
However, what's the point of it being in 3-D? You're in a perfectly enclosed space ship, why would things suddenly start flying into the simlulator?

kool... i think they should go digital on the screens with serious surround sound so loud that your brain rattles...and to top it of 4-d!!!!:fork:killer
just the ride getting a overhaul is good enough...they should update the lobby maybe a pre-show or something!!! by the way i patented these ideas....:king::ROFLOL:

Disney has to look at this refurbishment as something that is better than the Simpsons. That will be the point of comparison. The video clarity of the Simpsons is very good, as is the movement of the simulator. The other external effects (all I noticed was the baby powder scent in Maggie's Mouth) weren't too extraordinary.
If this ride is a clear 3D film than it may work, except with the videos on the sides also being a standard 3D, the effect will be lost, as in the peripheral vision it will appear blurry. The lenticular idea may work for the side screens but what is more logical is something like PhilHarmagic where the side screens aren't in 3D.

Those Sony SRX projectors used on the Simpsons ride are among the best on the market, and they very well better be for the price tag. I dont quite understand the need for 3D in the peripheral vision either, doesnt seem like it would work, besides, those polarized glasses are usually flat so you can easily see out the sides of them.
To answer your question about why 3D in the first place, they say they will be able to produce 3D landscape, so things wont necessarily be flying into the simulator, rather youll be able to see "thru" the screen like looking through a window. Thats what I got out of it anyway.
At any rate, it sounds like it will be an improvement so lets hope for the best!

Tony Baxter announced on tv that a new star tours would be part of phase 2 of disneylands new tomorrowland. This was back in spring 1998
Over the years Jack Lloyd confirmed it, Anthony Daniels Confirmed it, some ILM dude confirmed it, and even George Lucas himself confirmed it but its been over ten years and i'm affraid it may never be completed

What would really be cool is if the windshield would act as 3-D glasses so you wouldn't have to wear the glasses.

If you recall the 3-D commercial at half time of the Super-Bowl, most of the effects were depth and not the virtual pie-in-your-face. This has huge potential in a ride like Star Tours.
I hope this comes before the space ship looks like an everyday commuter car. :lol:
