I had been trying to remember that too. Looks like the actual close at Hollywood Studios will be September 8th.

Anyone recall the actual last date for Star Tours at the Studios? I'm going to try and go as I didn't get a chance to ride it at The Last Tour.

Check out StarWars.com for a great new video of the "Commercial" that you'll see while waiting in line at the attraction.

Coruscant! The entire planet is one big city.

Can't wait to Starspeed through the capital of The Republic. Which brings to mind the question, When the heck is this thing set? Will it somehow straddle the Prequel and Classic trilogies?

As reported bywww.starwars.com.

The adventures continue for the Jedi in all of us! Bridging that "long time ago" between the two Star Wars trilogies, the spectacular new Star Tours adventures in 3-D will debut in 2011 in Disneyland park in California, and Disney's Hollywood Studio theme park in Florida.

The attraction will take voyagers -- for the first time ever -- to Coruscant, as well as other destinations in the Star Wars galaxy. The power of the Force and the magic of Disney once again combine for this immersive experience in Tomorrowland!

Here is an all new image released from the new Star Tours adventure: the Starspeeder zipping along in the skies of Coruscant.

Here's the press release about The Last Tour to Endor. Note that non-passholders will be given full park admission at 4pm, so we can enjoy Hollywood Studios before the event starts at 8pm. On the other hand, do we want to leave CV before it ends to just to get some Midway Mania in? This is great for out-of-towners, though.

No worries! Sometimes you can find things by the Search box on the top right of most pages, but sometimes it's tough when you get a ton of results. That's what I'm here for. I'm the GFA Grail Knight.

I was looking for that but couldn't find it. That is why I created this thread.

Ha, yeah, I look forward to seeing this, as I've only seen a bootleg video of it. And I really don't think Honey, I Can't Remember the Movie needs to come back. I wonder if they'll market the Eo merchandise again.

Nice new thread. Additionally, here's the thread for Star Wars-related Disney discussion.

Most excellent. They should have never taken this out of the park to begin with. Sad that it took Michael's untimely death to bring it back, but I'm so glad it's being shown again.
