Something I just happened to have found on youtube. So I thought I shared it with everyone. Hope you all enjoy as I did watching this.

Though I will be glad to see Star Tours updated, the original will always hold a special place in my heart. I got to ride it during one of the "trial run" days back in December 1986 before it officially opened. I have always been a Star Wars fan and I thought it was incredible. I think we rode it three times that day!

I was 14 then, and I will be taking my DS14 on it again for one last nostalgic ride this summer when we visit.

I wonder are they going to update the video you watch while you are waitting to board the ship.

I am sure they will update the preboarding video since the new attraction will be in 3D and they will have to instuct us on how to put on the glasses Disney lawyers don't want us to trip!

I hope they keep the cheesy flight attendant though! I love the preshow.

Wow, that really took me back...that was the Tomorrowland of my childhood, with Space Mickey & Minnie, the Peoplemover, and the Rocket Jets up where they belong! And all the Star Wars characters...I'm glad I didn't know they were all there in my favorite place when I was little, and me not there to see them, I'd have cried myself to sleep every night for weeks! Thanks for posting this!
