Rumor is that Star Wars Land is coming to Hollywood Studios. To make way for this land, Disney has announced the closure of The American Idol Experience in January 2015. Rumors are that Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular will also close at the end of the year but it has not been confirmed.
Disney has not officially announced details of the Star Wars Land, but we can expect a formal announcement in the coming months. So far we have heard that most attractions will be on the same side of Echo Lake as the existing Star Tours attraction. The anchor attraction is rumored to be Endor Speeder Bike and there will be a X-Wing Fighter spinner attraction that would be geared towards kids. It is also expected that the Jedi Training Academy will move indoors into the Sounds Dangerous building. More rumors include Mama Melrose’s being replaced with The Mos Eisley Cantina.
When I hear more, I will be sure to let you know! It sounds like it has the potential to be huge and that Walt Disney World is trying to catch up with Universal’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Star Wars has been big forever and it appeals to both the older and younger generations. Personally, I would rather see Cars Land but I understand why Disney is going this route.

Having seen the original Star Wars in the theatre when it first came out when I was a kid, I’m very happy to see them developing Star Wars rather than something to do with Cars. :)

Carsland needs to stay in California. Florida steals every good thing in Disneyland
