New Safety Video’s

by Kris Van de Sande on March 29, 2005

While browsing around the web, I found this rumour that they are updating Star Tours right now. At least certain parts. However they are just rumours they provide an interesting read. Original conversation here at Mouseplanet

*** Actually they do and have had plans to update Tours. Word around the starspeeder is that there may be a new safety video coming as well as decorum…there was talk about a new ride film (which in essence would provide a new attraction practically) but it seems as though that was either scrapped or put on hold. The FP for Tours really could be necessary especially with the onset of summer…The powers that be had tested different configurations for it (FP) with what seemed to be different reactions. All I know is that it was a pain to work with…
The only thing that frustrates me is the TRAFFIC into Tomorrowland just after Astro on either side
… ugh!

So we will see what they DID do quite soon. Stay tuned!

These are not the droids you are looking for …

by Alex Newborn on March 1, 2005

New Star Tours figures at Disneyland. Well not really the droids we are expecting. These are replacement pvc figures from the old vintage droids cartoons ones they were selling last summer.

On a side related note. I’ve got my hands on 2 of the upcoming Star Tours droids. More pictures soon!
