Star Tours may replace Monsters Inc

[disneysource11]

Hello everyone, I've been hearing that "Star Tours" maybe moving over to Tomorrowland. I'm not sure what they'd do with "Monsters". I suppose it maybe moved somewhere else as well, perhaps Hollywood Studios.

That doesn’t make any sense.

I don’t think those building footprints are even remotely similar either

Of course it does, Monster Inc has never belonged in Tomorrowland. Plus Disney already has a suitable cheap replacement for it to cut and paste. And more importantly it gets rid of the weirdness of having Star Tours sitting by itself not in a land.

It looks like Hollywood is going the Land route like all of the other Disney Parks.

No it doesn't make sense. You can't just take Star Tours and put it where Monsters Inc. Laugh Floor Is. This isn't Disneyland and the Star Tours in WDW is larger than the DL counterpart. It's not going to Tomorrowland.

Exactly.

It ignores the fact this building cant feasibily hold all those simulators and the ride.

It’d be great to happen but it’s not practical

Yeah, Star Tours is almost twice as bit ad Monsters Inc, and is a very different shape. I highly doubt they would do this, not to mention the Op has a pretty back track record for rumors.

Plus Star Wars is set “a long time ago” not in “tomorrow”

Monster’s Inc doesn’t really fit either though

Well time is a construct, and based off relativity to massive objects (or something like that). So “a long time ago” may be happening now relative to our reality.



(You’re 100% right though )

Much cheaper to slap some random IP into the existing simulators vs trying to transplant the ride as is and shove it into an awkward space

Bingo

Suppose that is true ... just one of those “pet peeve” things I guess b/c it is one point that shows Star Wars isn’t science fiction (for when people compare it to Star Trek for example - b/c you can’t really compare them)

I could see Star Tours becoming a Monsters Inc simulator ride, going through 1 door and then another.

And, I guess Monsters Inc laugh floor could be changed to a Star Wars based show.

But, I can't see how it would be worth doing all this just to keep Star Wars inside Galaxy's edge at HS, especially as the themes match the attraction better the way it is now, than it would be with a switch..

It's in Tomorrowland in California, so there might be a mixup there.

I’m only believing one implausible Tomorrowland rumor today and that one was already taken by a satirical site

How in the world does Star Tours fit in MK?? There's nothing that could mesh the 2 together....True the existing ST, is o/side of SWGE (W/ numerous talks about what will come of it) but at least it's in the same park, and very close to where an entrance will be.....I don't know but maybe an exit from the ride can lead you around the bldg. and very close to the entrance to SWGE...Sort of like the exit to TSMM, or what they did with Space Mtn... Just sayin,,

The one thing I kept thinking was wouldn’t the simulators be too heavy for the utilitidors down below?

It depends. That is a good point that it may not be able to be placed there due to the utilitidors.

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, so by the time the light from that galaxy hit Earth it would be way into the future.
