Default Star Tours 2

Rumors about a new version of Star Tours have been going around for years now. I know there have been several threads about this rumor. Whenever someone in the know let's slip some little tidbit of information about this a new thread pops up...

Today Alain Littaye posted a nice history of all the rumors surrounding this on his blog Disney and More: Star Tours 2 ? This seemed to me like a good post to start an "official" Star Tours 2 rumor thread.

I really hopes this happens soon. Disney needs to either replace Star Tours or bring it into the future. Great article, though :)

Just change it already! This is getting annoying! Everyone wants it different (or at least updated) so why don't they?

Arrow There's more!

I'm glad I started this thread yesterday because there's more!

Kryptonlogic posted this:
Star Tours v2.0, Coming May 2010!
Announcement to come soon...

Very interesting details. But as usual, no names just a vague reference to "strong sources" who are "hinting at" an upcoming announcement "probably" May 1st.

...to be taken with a grain of salt, mixed in a walnut shell.

This is truly exciting. This new Star Tours seems unlike anything we've ever seen in our lives :)

Here is my idea for Star Tours:

Create three totally different ride sequences. They could be:
Endor
Tattoine
and
Coruscant

Each simulator chooses a different sequence at random. You never know what flight you'll get untill your on board!

Well... Since it is a rumor, and a very nice one at that, I am going to sit and wait patiently until May of this year for any kind of announcement by Disney. Thanks Ez!

Even 3 ride sequences will seem old after even just 5 years of riding. There's a reason why Haunted Mansion, Small World & other attractions are still fun after 40+ years.
