Wow ..
Why cancel it now? Just more "budget cuts"? I mean . .they just recently (within,what? last 2-3 years?) redid the stage. Why remove a VERY POPULAR "attraction" from a park that is still hurting for attractions until SWGE opens.
Maybe this means that Star Tours is going to see the chopping block BEFORE SWGE opens .. between this and the odd refurbishment of Tatooine Traders ...
Well, my dream of having my son or daughter do this is gone. I had one opportunity when he was 4 .. and he was too scared (don't blame him) to try.
Do we know if they plan on having this with SW:GE? Makes sense, but I haven't seen a "spot" for it on the maps.
"The
travel agent who posted the news said that the attraction at Walt Disney World is expected to reopen at an unspecified later date with some changes"
Like I've said previously .. I wouldn't be surprised if this returns as a paid event .. where the kid gets to keep the lightsaber .. basically the same one as the "build a lightsaber" toy they sell in the store (fun and good quality). Essentially, the Jedi version of BB Boutique ..
Still odd to close it a full year before SWGE would even open.
