Years ago I heard rumors Disneyland and Disneyworld were going to update the Star Tours ride. After all, the ride was exactly the same since it launched back in 1987 and it definitely needed a paint job. But the prequels came and went, and the ride stayed the same. Until now.
At this weekend’s D23 convention, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Jay Rasulo announced plans to update the ride and it’s going to launch in 2011 and it’ll be in 3D. While I’ve fallen out of love with “Star Wars”, I always liked the Star Tours ride and with the technology now available at Lucasfilm and Disney, I’d like to think the new ride is going to be awesome. Anyway, while we have to wait another two years to take it for a spin, Disney has launched a brief trailer and it’s after the jump:
And if you’re wondering, the new ride will be at Disneyland and Disneyworld.

You’ve fallen out of love with Star Wars? To me, the burning disappointment of the prequels cant taint my love of the originals (even Return of the Jedi). Plus I actually thought Episode III was pretty good.

The pod racer looks to slow. They need to speed it up.

Star Wars will continue losing appeal with time. Only 2 of the 6 movies were any damn good. We wouldn’t be so forgiving of any other franchise. You can hardly get kids to sit still and watch the A New Hope, much less be enchanted the way we once were.

I agree that the newer Star Wars movies and other versions of the story line have lost some of that spark from the original movies, but it’s just like anything from the “good ol’ days”, you can never really reproduce a classic.
I’m happy to hear they are updating the Star Tours ride, and look forward to being one of the first riders.
