News Round Up 2018

Heck I would be satisfied with another Kermit singing music video if it was relevant. The muppets of the 80s had songs like Rainbow Connection and other musical numbers which were Iconic for the brand.

It doesn't make sense from an immersion standpoint, but it sure does from a crowd control standpoint. Until they get everything open and moving, probably a year, maybe 3 years, after SW:GE opens, Star Tours is needed. There is no real way around it. If they were going to change Star Tours to improve the immersion concept, it had to happen before SW:GE opened.

I will actually be sad to see Star Tours go. I remember riding it when it first opened, I think I was around 10. I seem to recall there were characters around in the outdoor part of the line. I also think it's great that they can update it with scenes and planets from various movies. I know the tech is out of date at this point, but I wish there was a way for them to keep it!

From what I read somewhere on these boards...the plan was to upgrade the tech, and re purpose it to another IP.

Rainbow Connection >>>>>>> Let it go

In a landslide.

Yeah, they definitely haven't figured out how to make them "fit."

Do you work at Disney? Because you should.

That's what I've been telling Iger I think my number is blocked in his phone now.

Well they could always expand the Star Wars land and have it take over Muppets then encompass Star Tours if they want to make it more immersive to Star Wars. Or even separate Muppets off a little more and have Star Wars expand out. Or have Muppets Star Wars.

PIGS IN SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly I love the Muppets street show in MK. Its cute and catchy for the 15 minute length. I also like that there are different stories.

yeah, that is the rumor/plan for it in the future, but expectations are it will stay as Star Tours at least for a few years after SW:GE opens

I hope this doesn't mean that they're not shutting the path soon. I love walking on it, and it'll be way better not having to smell smoke to do it.

 

[Firebird060]

Hmm any leaks about this years holloween mug at trader sams?

I imagine that path will close by the end of the year with the Tron construction.
