It wouldn't surprise me if the Starcruiser went the way of River Country within a few years...

River Country didn’t go away to lack of popularity…

It looks like every other space port I've been to.

Uh yes it did.
No it was a combination of cost of repair and the issue that it ran on untreated Bay Lake water, mainly the latter part because of the discovery of the “brain eating amoeba” which becomes active (able to cause infections) when water temps get to 80 degrees and inhaled through the nose.

It really doesn't look like the one in tomorrowland Starport Seven-Five.
What galaxy are you from?!

Milky-way! Earth has 5 star ports, Starport Seven-Five, TL Space Station 77, Discovery Landing Station, Aa (I guess it won't display the Japanese word because it contains an English Swear) Station, and HK Spaceport E-TKT. Although I have only ever visited the first 2.
Wait I have also been to

…it went away due to ridiculous insurance premiums and minor amounts of staffing

Just wanted to share some observations from a handful of rides last week:
On our first ride the full ITS was functional but was missing the light saber in the elevator, cannon movement (obviously), and had B-mode Kylo at the end. Pretty lame.
During subsequent rides elevator saber was clearly working in one elevator but not the other and A-mode Kylo was back up and functional. BUT, Lt Beck in the ITS was down...he was 3/4 hidden by a shield that was up, but you could still see the top of the head of the animatronic and it was just constantly jiggling/vibrating. Very disturbing. And having that shield up basically blocks the entire forward viewport so it's almost impossible to tell what's going on. Terrible show.

Even more disturbing is thinking about the poor CM intern in there constantly shaking him.

They just gotta chill with the pricing. Also the big question is If you're gonna go do Starcruiser, it's probably ALL you're gonna do because to do the parks at that point seems like way too much money and time unless you're like a TOP TIER individual and I mean like celebrity status.

Closed by a brain eating ameba or converted into a DVC or both?

Did we ever get to the bottom of why the Disney 'influencers' on Youtube were crying with joy after they rode this ?
I still could never work that out.
Do they still cry with joy when they come to the end of the ride ?

I'll go read their minds and get back to you.

Why do you care? I teared up the first time I went on RotR. It’s a fantastic attraction that transports you into the Star Wars galaxy. I tear up every time Mickey says “Some imagination huh?” at the end of Fantasmic, same goes for the end of HEA. I dont really think anyone owes you an explanation for how they feel…

It's their profession.
If they make a video of themselves walking into a grocer they will tear up and OH MY GOD at the top of their lungs. Gets more clicks.
Complete with a misleading still in the thumbnail that makes it look like something happened. Nothing did.
