Star Tours, a beloved ride at Disneyland since its launch in 1987, is experiencing a decline in popularity as newer rides at Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge attract visitors' attention. Though it once had long lines, current wait times are around 30 minutes, suggesting a loss of interest. Disneyland YouTuber Mark Brickey notes that rides based on technology, unlike traditional storytelling rides, have a limited lifespan. This prompts discussions on the future of Star Tours, including whether it should be relocated within the park or ultimately retired.
"I personally have noticed a severe downtick in its popularity, and even more so at Hollywood Studios, if it’s the end of Star Tours."
"The problem with technology rides... they're based on story, and you know, classic theatrical storytelling. But when you base a ride on technology, there's always going to be a shelf life."
