New Star Tours?
I heard here on Intercot that Star Tours is getting a major overhaul. When are they shutting it down? When will the new Star Tours re-open?

All I know is that it's closing down this year sometime, and will reopen in 2011. It was announced at the D23 Expo.

Next up - January 2023 short trip! We just want to try that 50th Anniversary chocolate monstrosity at Mexico!

As of this week a rumor has surfaced that it will close September 8, 2010 and reopen May 20, 2011. That's unconfirmed, but that fits the time frame first announced last fall. Still if they want it reopened by SWW 2011 that's cutting it close!

That would be great. But with such a major overhaul, i have a hard time believing Disney can rework Star Tours, get it up and running, and go through all the retraining and soft openings in only 8 months. I'm sure they want it ready for SWW in 2011. But it seems to me like there would be too much retooling for a full May grand opening. Their gonna need a lot of help from The Force.

We are hoping to go in Nov. and my son is a Star Wars nut. I hope it is open when we go or he will be disappointed

That's my opinion, too. Like I said, those dates are unconfirmed. We'll have to see if they adjust those dates when they officially announce it.

I can pretty much guarantee it won't be open in November. I know the feeling. Both my sons were disappointed when their favorite ride (Test Track) was closed when we were there in January, but it's always a good excuse to go back.

Ditto that. Looking forward to our last rides on the old version and our first rides on the new!

I hope they don't close it until the 8th like rumored. this way I can get one (or more) last ride.
Only problem is we decided to skip 2011 for a Disney trip so I'll have to wait extra long to ride the new version.

My son is pretty disappointed that it's likely to be closed when we're there after Thanksgiving. I'll miss it, too. I wish I could get another ride on it before it changes.

How exciting for Star Tours! But that totally stinks for my son! He's 6 and a new Star Wars junkie *and* tall enough to ride this year. Bummer!

I guess this must be a total refurb. I always thought they could do this by just closing some of the shuttles and keep the ride going. But I guess if they are redoing the queue they would have to close the whole thing. Hopefully it will still be running when we go in August.

I enjoy Star Tours, but it does need the upgrade and I am glad they are doing it.
