You can't have a hydraulic system like that change its program at will, unless the software behind that has made incredible advances in the past 5 years or so.

I'm pretty sure that it can indeed change. They just have to program in a different show into the computer, because most systems can have more than one show. There is a guy in AZ who has about an acre for his front yard, and every christmas he fills it with different hydraulic devices. He has a big santa's sleight with a few pistons on it, 10 foot tall christmas tree with moving arms. All sorts of stuff. The whole yard is lit up, all the hydrualics are moving, but then it all goes dark, and a show starts up. There are four or five shows a night, all 20 minutes apart. Each hydraulic is always doing something different in each show. If he can do it, I'm sure disney can.
This was on the news a while back, but he just networked five or six old PC's together, and they each ran one area of his yard.

Laughing Place claims to have confirmed the rumor but don't name their sources.

LOL I was expecting a longer article. Yeah, I guess we shall find out soon then if it is true or not.

Ezra · 08-12-2008, 01:15 PM

For some reason we shouldn't take the words of Hayden Landis or Anthony Daniels on this, but the word of completely un-named "sources" is as good as gold. [/sarcasm]

Hahahahahaha I love it. Sarcasm at it's finest. And so true too.

I heard that it is going to use glasses free 3-D and will be themed to a pod race. No idea how the pod race will work, maybe you start in space and land on Tatooine in the middle of a race or something.

I'm all for a star tours update, as long as lucas doesn't spray his toxic prequel stink all over it, which *sigh* it seems he will.

no to mention creating a new star tours on the star wars timeline would piss off a lot of fanboys.

yeah I hope that if they do change star tours, they keep the ride based off of the older films.
