Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but after SW:GE opens, what will happen to star tours? Will it be given a different IP makeover? Or removed completely? I read somewhere that they'll let it be for the first few years, but anyone know if somethings planned beyond that? I know they use the same ride system for Dory and Iron Man in Asia.

It will eventually be replaced was what we let heard. Not immediately when GE opens. It's a matter of when and with what.

Replaced as in a completely new ride? Or as in same system, different IP/Story?

I do like the ride system, so i hope it stays. Or is it too much the same as the new MF ride?

Same system, different IP is the easiest solution.

Same system, different IP is the easiest solution.

Its also what has been predicted by all the insiders, the ride will remain the same, and put to new IP

Thanks everyone! Are both SW:GE lands still on track? IMO it looks as if HS is not moving as fast as it should. I know it's scheduled to open later, but still..

Getting a page not found message with this link - anyone else?

Page opens fine from the Latest News page though.

ETA: @wdwmagic?

It looks like they are starting the assumed starship wreck that will serve as the assumed exit, also it looks like the large concrete pad at the top arrow might be the unload area.

Forgive me if this has been answered before. Do any of our insiders know if these box structures on top of the Alcatraz are for some type of special effect? Something that can be seen while walking around the land or of that nature? They just look like they have a purpose that doesn't have something to do with the attraction. @marni1971 @Magic Feather @MansionButler84

^Elevator shafts. at least that's my assumption.

 

[MisterPenguin]

I was guessing Wonkavators.

What goes up...

 

[Isanka]

Do they build something new? a lake, a new building?

New building. Place will be riddled with shops as part of the marketplace.

It is amazing to me in 2018 that no construction pictures leak online. You would think with this day in age and Smartphones, someone would break the rules and take a picture. Yes, I know they sign something saying they will not take pictures. I just can't imagine one of the constructions workers didn't take a picture to show his kid the construction.
