New Disneyland Movie

Disney bosses are hoping to cash in on the success of the Pirates Of The Caribbean movie series - by taking another theme park attraction to the big screen.

The swashbuckling adventures started life as a ride at Disneyland, California.

And movie executives have headed back to the magical kingdom, this time to create a movie based on Tomorrowland, a futuristic section of the same theme park.

According to Daily Variety, Dwayne Johnson - aka The Rock - is being lined up to star in the space-based movie.

Damn, I was really hoping for a stupid Space Mountain movie when I saw the headline!

Star Tours Disneyland

Oh wow! I was just clicking on some of the related links to the Star Wars: Clone War trailer (found in one of the previous posts) and came across this. Its the entire ride and everything else for Star Tours at Disneyland, California.

This takes me back many many years. I absolutely loved this ride but can't believe it was just 4 minutes long! I'm sure we (me and my family) queued up for at least an hour just to go on it. It was worth it for the experience!

For its age I'm amazed the original ride is still around. According to Wikipedia, a sequel/prequel ride is on the cards, utilising funky CGI graphics and 3D technology.
