Maybe now DHS can get rid of the Indy Stunt show and put in an Indy coaster? Please?

Just sayin'.

:mrgreen: 8-)
And the Disney Princess coloring books just got a lot cooler.

Just imagine, The Little Mermaid, Jasmine, Sleeping Beauty, and Leia--with her gun-- all on the front of the coloring book. Pretty awesome.

not quite sure how I feel about all this, is this a step forward? I'm worried how the star wars films will be now.

It's long past due! When years ago when I rode the Forbidden Temple I was really ticked DLR got that....and we got the stunt show.

I would like the version from Paris. That one is more roller coastery, right? We don't need another Dinosaur.

It is a roller coaster, almost like a wild mouse but with over the shoulder restraints as it loops. It was running backwards when I was there in 2003, but from poking around online, it looks like it has run the normal direction since 2004...it was a fun little coaster, but a pretty short ride time as I recall.

All of it? I highly doubt he is giving all 4 billion of it. It is awesome if he does though.

There are already rumors of another park that is Star Wars related on the internet. even sketches on what COULD be done..

All my coworkers dont like this.. they are coming from the Star Wars nerd side of it.. But I am both.. a SW nerd and of course a Disney nerd.. and I am hopeful that something good will come of this..

A shame that stupid Avatar land cant be like Endor instead, haha



But.. I am worried about a 7th SW movie....

Same type of ride vehicles, but Dinosaur is no Forbidden Temple. If one was to a comparison like that, then Dinosaur is a pale, sad, pathetic lesser version of the Forbidden Temple. Where but the Forbidden Temple can you encounter your doom by a giant round boulder rolling towards you to flatten you, eh?

i personally hope that star wars doesn't overtake the parks. to me it doesn't really "fit" at all. i'm not much of a star wars fan either tho, but i don't want it.
