Star Tours Line Video

It’s Star Wars Weekends at Disney MGM Studios, and to kick it off, the New Star Tours ride was reopened. Along with the entire ride, the waiting area for the line also got a needed make over. Luckily, someone posted a video of what you can expect at the Disney MGM studios ride in Orlando, Florida. And they also captured some of the ride footage.

Star Tours Returns

The Giggaheim was lucky enough to attend Star Wars Celebration V last year in Orlando, Florida, and also the Last Tour to Endor. We were one of the last people to ride the dated simulator, and then Darth Vader and the 501st Legion shut it down. Disney Imagineers have been hard at work on the new ride, and it will open soon. Here is the TV spot they are running.

ORLANDO Star Wars Convention: Star Wars Celebration V

Star Wars Celebration V is going to be held in Orlando Florida this weekend August 12-15th. The Special event will be held in the Orange County convention center, and commemorating the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back. The convention center will wind up being a 600,000 square foot theme park for Star Wars fans, with several celebrities on hand to sign autographs, and answer questions. Among them is rumored to be the man-in-plaid himself, George Lucas. The 501st Legion Storm Troopers, Vader’s Fist, will be on hand (as security?), and there will be 60 different droids to look at that are rumored to cost over $50,000 to build.

Saturday there is a “Last Tour to Endor”: party at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to say goodbye to the parks’ Star Tours attraction which is going to be shut down for renovations until 2011.

And we couldn’t give you all this geek-tacular news without something awesome to look at:
