Star Wars Land announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[P_Radden]

Insiders seem to think Star Tours will be rethemed with a new concept at some point following the opening of Star Wars land. I wanted a connected path too, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards.

I wonder if the concept for re-theming Star Tours would tie in with whatever will eventually become of Backlot Express?

Probably since they are right next to each other. (Just don't post an aerial photo with this idea or you'll flip some people out and they won't be able to handle it. )

I would hope, but you never know with Disney these days.

Moved my last post over to the right thread.... is it too far fetched to hold out hope that an extended exit from star tours would "transport" you to then new star wars land (after the ride is over, you walk through a cue to a back entrance to the land? I'd just hate to see Start Tours leave

I highly doubt this will happen.

I'll say again then! It's too far fetched.

The area immediately south of the MuppetVision exit and beyond will all be backstage.

I guess people don't realize how much backstage needed to bring the magic

That whole area there....going to be an odd (possibly clumsy) transition, I fear.

I would imagine they do a something similiar to a version of the transition from TSPL to Rat in DS in Paris.

Brick Tunnel at Muppets side and rock tunnel at Star Wars side.

Read again. The rotation should not be perceptible it will be that slow.

Hi @marni1971! Oh wow, it sounds like the Garden Grill sans food. Hopefully, this will translate into a longer ride experience with a duration of at least ten minutes.

Not to mention, the slow rotation will allow for riders to aim more accurately at the target(s) and feel more relaxed and immersed in the ride versus the hasty, rushed experience you get in rides like Buzz and TSM.

The boat ride in AK is slow, too. So...

It's the first line of each movie: "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." Just before the crawl starts.

Hi @TiggerDad! I have never watched any of the Star Wars movies with the exception of TFA. But, I have seen the beginning part, so I really have no excuses. I can't even recall this part in TFA, but I'm sure it was there. LOL!

Lord no. Half that possibly.

@marni1971 could the layoffs significantly change these plans as 74 seemed to suggest?

I do find it rather amusing that an individual who has been named as someone axed was the same person heading up the GMR to Great MICKEY Ride trackless conversion. No, I don't know whether it is true or not. If so, it does give pause whether this will happen or happen in the timeline that people here seem to believe.

I've no idea.

Though there are several trackless attractions in development. And I believe the GMR replacement is very far advanced.
