DHS The future of Star Tours, Star Wars Launch Bay and Star Wars shows at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Animaniac93-98]

And that attraction should have been Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway.

With the queue the Disneyland version got.

It's almost like they're letting Animation Courtyard languish so that no one will cry if it's razed and rebuilt into something else.

In a park that has so much languishing, there will not be a known slot to start.

You okay?

 

[celluloid]

You okay?

I am "fine" which is like Animal Kingdom. I suppose I could be like Magic Kingdom but I am definitely doing better than EPCOT or Hollywood Studios. Thanks for asking!

 

[celluloid]

Soon.*


*Disney time-line 'soon.'

 

[DonniePeverley]

Why do they do this ? Why not fix it ?

Disney wouldn't do that.

They do not care if people cry.

Imagine if they had "reopened" the Animation Tour, featuring art and artifacts from the history of Disney Animation and allowing you to view Disney Animators at work, and at the end of the "tour" there was a sneak preview of the newest Mickey short "Perfect Picnic", where something goes horribly wrong . . .

They could have had their cake and eaten it too.

With a post show that promotes the latest Animated feature in the works. They would have had some good cake.

You could even make the preshow about that - imagine if those "animators" had been working on Encanto or Strange World while you were waiting in line for Runaway Railway.

I remember seeing them working on Hunchback on the Animation Tour back in the day and the it made me so excited to see that movie when it came out. It'd be free advertising that's much more compelling than something like playing movie trailers in the One Man's Dream theater.

Is Ahsoka still coming to Star Tours? Or did they axe that?

New scenes are still coming. They are rumored to debut on April 5th, which is when "Season of the Force" begins in Disneyland Park in Anaheim.

Wouldn't that be May 4 as in "May the Fourth be with you?" (For the ride, that is, not the DL seasonal celebration.)

For a company so obsessed with synergy it’s crazy that the Ahsoka Star Tours sequence(s?) is debuting nearly a year after the show came out….

 

[mickEblu]

Speaking of synergy does this mean we have to wait for the Mandalorian movie for the new Smugglers Run scenes?

I guess it makes sense for Ashoka to get the older/ less in demand attraction while they save Mando for a new Smugglers Run mission.

Nobody watched the show…so there isn’t much urgency

I watched it, and really liked it? *shrugs*

I watched it, and really liked it? *shrugs*

So did I…but the streaming numbers were “not good”

…any theories on why?

 

[MagicHappens1971]

…any theories on why?

According to you, it’s because “no one” watched it. My “theory” is that the company has poor planning skills.
