2 Years Of ‘VLPS’ STAR TOURS Site’ *Update*

by Kris Van de Sande on August 31, 2004

Exactly 2 years ago, I registered an account at geocities and made a VERY basic site, with some Star Tours news, and some profiles. It started growing and growing, and has gotten many hosts, and even more looks. But after 2 Years, we are now reopening at www.swstartours.net.

When Jeremy first contacted me I had some doubts. He offered me a position at the Euro Rebelscum Crew, and a perfect hosting plan for my site. I considered it, and it took some time. But some months later, I left BeJedi.com for Euro Rebelscum as the representative of the Benelux. But as I took my (already) expanded Star Tours section with me, we encountered many problems. I had to learn to work with a new system, I had to learn a new coding language, and many more. When it wasn’t a server crash, it was a software problem, and so on. However, every beginning is tough, and slowly, all child deseases are phasing out. Now, 2 years after that original site, I officialy reopen this completely revamped website!

Update:
Thank you, Thank you..
I have the honour of telling you, that a mere 5 hours after the opening, our visitor counter was set at no less then 1438 visitors. When you see, that those are only the visitors today, we can only see what tomorrow brings (actualy, it is today, as the counter resets at CET Midnight.) Also a big memorable step, is that on our second Birthday, we crossed the visitor ammount of 20000. (In fact, we are close to 21000 already!) Thanks to everybody that made this possible!

Discoveryland in Disneyland Resort Paris is getting some major renewal. As you might have read here, Star Tours’s “L’astroport Services Interstellaires” is getting a complete makeover. But why are they changing all these thngs all the sudden?

Well, because of DLRP’s new official partner. HP will replace IBM as official partner for your new journey to Endor. Bye bye IBM.

Star Tours Wave 4 Out 2nd Week September ?

by Kris Van de Sande on August 24, 2004

KEBco toys are now taking orders for Star Tours Wave 4. They claim the figures will ship the second week of September.

When we consider previous cases of Star Tours figures released early, we can conclude that these will hit the park around October. However, that is only guessing. You can order the figures from KEBco toys by clicking here. Stay Tuned for more info as we discover it.
