I disagree with you that the original version of Star Tours was just a "lame simulator" but I agree with the other part you said about how at WDW they are just in the Endor forest not moving.

I knew we were all thinking it......sad thing is that it's completely possible

It was less lame in 1990...but still didn’t do the IP justice.
Thankfully they dumped that 80’s tech in 2000

I disagree. I like the original better than 2.0It was less lame in 1990...but still didn’t do the IP justice.

I like em both...I do appreciate the randomness of 2.0 though so I guess for me that has the edge.
Of course. All trackless dark rides have a set scene length that can not be exceeded. Th descent could be the max length of two scenes. But with it needing the cars to lock in, unlock, and of course go in and out of the shaft, the descent "scene" will still be probabaly 30 seconds tops. But that's time for a few frog hops

That’s bad then...because it’s still 80’s ride tech

the original star tours perfectly captured the spirit, adventure and fun of the original movies better than smuggler's run and star tours 2.0

Honestly, I'd like them to add a ST 2.0 mission that reincarnates the original ride. Program the 3PO AA to react like Rex. Either bring in Anthony Daniels to re-record the original script, or re-use the original recording from Paul Rubens and use the preshow to explain 3PO got his memory-cross flash with Rex and the whole ride is caused by his ensuing malfunction. The 3D on this to me has always been meh...so just stick with the original 2D remastered for the digital projection.
Back on topic, I'm hoping they are able to avoid the TT 1.0 debacle for ROTR. The sad part is the stakes are higher for ROTR because at least the rest of Future World, even if it was in it's dying breaths at the time, were there to carry on until TT was refined enough to operate semi-reliably.

Unless the cut the steel frame of the head off the body after the original pictures were taken, I can't see how the head could have this much range of motion...

How are you the only person that caught that? I totally remember seeing the steel frame for the head welded together.
Yeah, actually could an insider please explain how the AT-AT's went from being bolted together solidly like this:
To being able to have a head with a full range of motion?

Maybe it was in another thread but someone said somewhere that they thought the finished head looked much larger than the steel frame we saw in the construction pics...so it’s possible it could move around that supporting structure. Who know’s though. I’m holding out hope it moves but it wouldn’t be shocking if it doesn’t.

The head might be able to tilt a bit, but I don't think the framework is small enough to allow the range of motion seen in the video.

Hopefully Disney can get the elevators operating properly as that could be a huge bottleneck (like with Hagrid’s where they can only run at 1/2 capacity rn bc one of the two drops doesn’t work).
How long has that been the case?
