I'm glad I got to go on the original. For a kid growing up in the late 80s when SW was basically dead, it was a total trip to heaven to see a 20 foot AT-AT guarding a Star Wars gift shop full of merchandise that led into one of the most entertaining rides I had ever been on. I guess it couldn't hang around forever, it's starting to get dated, but it's nice to know that it was connected to the OT with its models and optical composites. It's a shame, because I've watched the preservations of the video, which are cool, but it doesn't do the ride justice. Unlike most other thing Star Wars, there truely is no substitute for the experience of this, and its slightly sad that no one will ever be able to get this again. I guess that makes all of us who had the experinece among the elite. I have to hope that in 50 years from now, this will be re-activated at some sort of Star Wars museum.
