Star Tours Updates?

by Kris Van de Sande on January 3, 2005

Moragot Bodharamik writes in with some interesting updates on Star Tours! Read on for more details.

I was at Disneyland yesterday and luckly Star Tours was open. So I went in and the line was different. They led us in through a different way and then we went into the main hall with the Starspeeder 3000 and 3P0 and R2. Suprisingly there was new dialog. Not just from them but from the other droids along with the Airport PA too. And their is a new floor tile too. They change the hard metal grates to more of a solid hard floor. It seems like they’re getting ready for some new changes. I’m looking foward to new planets. There is alot of talk of trips to Tatooine and Hoth. Like more than usual. There are tons of changes happening in Tomorrow Land during Spring and Summer of 2005. And that’s the year of ROTS too. So hopefully there will be some major upgrades with Star Tours. That’s all for now.

Thanks for the write in Moragot!

George Lucas Visits Star Tours

by Kris Van de Sande on January 1, 2005

“So George, you’re about to finish Revenge Of The Sith, what are you going to do now?”
“I’m going to Disneyland!” That phrase must have been on California native George Lucas’ mind when he gave Orlando, Florida’s Disney-MGM Studios another visit this week.

What do you do when visiting Star Tours? Have your picture taken with Jedi Mickey, the hero from Star Wars Weekends 2004, of course. But, wait, isn’t George wielding a Sith saber? Uh oh…
