Secret Star Wars Production Shooting in Hollywood - for Star Tours — Page 2

This thread makes me almost as sad as when I heard that the King Kong ride went up in flames.

Please tell me that the Haunted Mansion (the only thing I remember from my trip to Disney World 20 years ago) isn't branded with Eddie Murphy now.

My dream is to ride the Jaws ride.  I hope it still exists whenever I get to finally go to Universal Studios.

I followed someone's photo blog during the reconstruction of the ride, and seeing the lagoon drained with all the old animatronics visible was surreal!

Happen to have a link?  I'd be interested in seeing that...

There are tons of photos covering all the years of reconstruction, but you will probably have to search a while!

 

doubleofive, Universal is supposedly going to bring Kong back in some form.

No Eddie Murphy in the Haunted Mansion, but they do transform the ride into a spooky holiday theme, with characters from Nightmare Before Christmas between October and January. The ride is back to it's normal spooky self the rest of the year.

Where were you in '77?
