That would be an awesome ride for DHS to get, as it needs a water ride in there... And with Indy that could be an epic story they could come up with. I'll sigh with you

@marni1971 , others...
Wasn't there a rumor about a Water ride at least being looked at for DHS? I could have sworn at some point it was discussed other than we wished for it ...

Not that I know of.

I remember that as well. Not sure our insiders stated anything about it but I do remember that.

I feel like it was something someone said the park needed and the other posters in the topic took it as being something that obviously had once been planned since DHS didn't have a water ride yet. Like how some times Jungle Book/Lion King dark rides come up for AK despite them not being actually considered (though I recall recently Marni mentioned a Lion King one had briefly come up a few years back so maybe that's not the best example).

I had a feeling that once SWL opened that the sims could be moved to Epcot, but I retracted my theory after the new Star Tours additions were announced. Do people still think Star Tours might be making an exit?

Yes. The additions are probably not that expensive to add and they are being used to promote the movies, so it's probably not a big deal if they only last a year or two.

Would absolutely love an Indy ride with the Shanghai POTC tech.
The Shanghai ride system won't stay exclusive for ever.

Howard the Duck boat ride confirmed.
So maybe like an indoor temple/ outdoor water ride a little like Atlantis in Sea World but obviously much better?

but will it come to the American Disney parks?

Star Tours is such a beloved attraction though. Especially at Disneyland where its as revered as Pirates of the Caribbean, Space Mountain and Haunted Mansion. Would they really get rid of it and what could they possibly replace it with?
I was originally thinking at DL they would replace ST with the Iron Man ride from Hong Kong and Buzz Lightyear with that new Ant-Man ride but now they said Marvel stuff is only going to DCA so that leaves Tomorrowland (and Star Tours in Orlando) totally up in the air now.

I remember reading about some ideas that WDI tossed about during the early days of Hollywood Studios. One of those was The Great Muppet Movie Ride featuring Muppets parodies of each scene from the original ride. Would be kind of brilliant if they rethemed Star Tours to feature the Muppets in place of the Star Wars characters. Maybe even throw in a Dark Kermit AA.

Once Star Wars land opens it will likely close and be repurposed as the Iron Man ride from Hong Kong Disney.
That it won't.

Iron Man cannot be used at Walt Disney World
What are some other things likely to happen?
