I think that it is more likely that they are testing Star Tours 2.0 rather than refurbing Body Wars.
The permit in question (link) has a pretty vague scope of work. There is no smoking gun that would lead us to think it was for Star Tours 2.0 testing. (ie install new digital projector in pod 4) The most compelling thing in the permit is the location. Star Tours 2.0 Testing has been going on there for a while but I doubt this permit has much to do with it.Could it be for Star Tours 2.0 testing?....Possibly, but more than likely it is for the F&WF as the WoL pavilion is used extensively for this event.

Oh wow! How long do these things usually take to test and then implement?

Weeks to months to years, just depends on the technology, and what they are testing.
Let us all take a minute and reflect on Test Track....

Is 2.0 something that is definatly happening? If so are there any details or info about it? Mainly I guess...will it have ANYTHING to with Star Wars unlike 1.0? :lookaroun

yes it is happening but we don't know when as of yet. There has been speculation as to the story of the ride since the late 90s (pod racer ride), so who knows what it will be. Currently, folks argue the refurbishment will begin as early as "next year", but people have been saying just that for years. I'll believe it when Star Tours actually shuts down...Disney has a knack for delaying major refurbishment projects.
Have a read of http://www.wdwmagic.com/startours2.htm from bottom to top. Almost 10 years now on this rumor - so make of that what you will!

I think most people would like a refurb of Star Tours... just some of us aren't into Star Wars -- and some of us like Epcot and would like to see WoL back in action.

Its not bad, it just has nothing to do with Star Wars...
A pod racing ride would be terrible also. Put me in an X Wing or Millenium Falcon and lets go blow up The Death Star dude...

I don't. No ride had ever made me sick until BW. I can't wait for a new Star Tours, as long as it has nothing to do with Episodes 1,2, or 3.
And WOL was not completely gutted. At least not as of February. The BW simulators were still there.

I used to think that. I changed my mind after riding BW at Christmastime 2006 when they opened it to accommodate the crowds. I hadn't ridden it for several years and was looking forward to one more ride "for ol' time's sake." I came off of BW realizing that it was time for it to close. Given another chance to ride it again, I probably wouldn't.
Now this I agree with, with updated actors of course.Yep...But I REALLY wish it was Cranium Command.Poor Buzzy.
