The fate of Star Tours?
- Thread starter 999th Happy Haunt
- Start date
If they didn't include Star Tours into SWL when they build SWL, or leave an empty space to move it into right away... I don't see WDW moving it into SWL as something they'll ever do. Leaving it up to soak up the SW fans will be its fate for the next decade... my prediction.
Our insiders are mum on that issue for now. If it leaks somewhere, they'll confirm or deny it.

Another thing to consider, I mean besides the almighty Star Wars, is that there are also many, many people that have zero interest in Star Wars. Perhaps something else that might entertain those without the fever might be a wise choice. To all the rabid Star Wars fans, you are getting an entire land dedicated to Star Wars. Something previously not done by the "old once great" Disney. Perhaps something for the rest of us to do while you are all in there rattling your light sabers might be in order.
OK, how about this for non-Star-Wars-fans: Everything else in the three parks which isn't Star Wars? This includes three parks with no Star Wars. And for the one park with Star Wars, this includes 6 rides that aren't Star Wars to the 3 that are. Three new single-IP lands are being added or just built. One of the three is Star Wars.
Your complaint has zero merit as witnessed by the need to label Star Wars "almighty", and it's fans rabid and fevered. You know that that doesn't make your point valid, right? It just makes it seem like emotional ranting.
Are you OK?

Face it, nothing is going to offset crowds with Star Wars Land. It is going to be packed, period. No amount of other park attractions or additional rides in the land would do anything to thin crowds out. It will be swamped the first year of opening and nothing will change that.
A decent old school 3500 an hour people eater in addition would have been useful.
As it is Falcon has double the capacity originally proposed.

Color me corrected, didn't even think of that...
Let me correct myself, no modern day Disney Idea would offset crowds...

No more than now? Especially as one of the new rides is also a simulator that by all reports will be much more interactive. So why would I want to ride Star Tours? Especially outside SW:GE?
I will add, my understanding is Star tours would remain at least a year or so, but eventually turned to a new IP. If that new IP is a draw, then I think something new, would be more a crowd pull than Star tours will be once SW:GE starts.

Except some of us have families that DO want to do star wars and are gaga over them. So would it hurt to have additional IP for those of us NOT Star wars fans? Seriously?
I will add, I fully intend to at some point walk through the SW:GE area, but am not enough of a fan to wait long lines to ride any of it.
Tours and Falcon will be sufficiently different to co-exist.

Was that through the bump-up of seats to 6, mirror-imaging the turntables, or both?
And was this a result of the third ride being cut?
Doubling the original table count.
Pfft. All they did was add just one more table!!!
Well, two....
Still trying to nail down precise figures.

Lets overreact while we are at it, eh! My point was not that there aren't other things in other parks that are there to be done, but, if you want to have some stability in the attendance in DHS, try to include some other interests besides your own. I'm glad that everyone is getting Star Wars, which doesn't mean that the fans aren't rabid and fevered. Those are just words if you want to take them at their worst possible definition, far be it from me to stop you. I'm merely saying that for the time being there will be more then enough Star Wars in DHS and if at a later date Disney feels that it would be beneficial to add more, they have room within that land. How many times have we been told that two is to is not enough in there. So, let's stop the word picking and understand the fact that the world is not all Star Wars and has no need to spread out. That small area where Star Tours presently lives can be better served with something that goes together with whatever is close to it. There is no need for another isolated SW's attraction.

Where does that leave it? I think the consensus was around 1500 for each ride.
