Yes; he did star in it.

Probably temporarily, I went do Disneyland at '01 and it was still there. :D

Disney would be insane to remove Space Mountain from either Disneyland or Disney World. It's like one of their main attractions.

Yeah, Space Mountain kicks total ass, although personally I'm a big fan of Big Thunder Mountain myself. :mrgreen:

I remember during the mid-'90s that the entire Tomorrowland was shut down for a remodel or something.

Star Tours

Post by Crazy Goji »

This has to be my second favorite ride in MGM (after Rock'n Roller Coaster). I even have two Star Tours action figures. My only problem is the shop used to be Endor Vendors (which made sense because you were supposed to go to the Endor moon), but for Ep. I, they changed it to Tatooine Traders. I prefered Endor Vendors because it went along with the Hoth setting they built (if I remember correctly, the exit looked like the Imperial Bunker entrance from ROTJ). My personal opinion, though.

I can't remember exactly how the outside looked, I'd have to find the old pictures. Now the foliage with the AT-AT was that of Endor. I know that inside was a remake of the super computer that C3PO talked to in the sunday comics chroncling the Skywalker saga.
