Analysts Pin Star Tours as Likely Next Ride to Leave Hollywood Studios

Overview

• Multiple Disney parks outlets published analyses on Tuesday predicting Star Tours is the most likely next attraction at Disney’s Hollywood Studios to be closed or repurposed.
• Reporters note Star Tours still operates but draws far smaller waits than headline rides such as Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run.
• The attraction sits on a large, contiguous parcel directly adjacent to the Monstropolis construction zone, which makes it appealing real estate for park expansion.
• Coverage points to a clear company pattern of removing or retheming long‑running attractions when larger IP‑driven lands promise more guests and merchandise revenue, citing recent changes like Muppet*Vision 3‑D and the Great Movie Ride.
• There is no official closure notice from Disney and ongoing construction priorities mean any removal would likely happen years from now, a shift that preservation advocates say would erase quieter parts of the park while analysts expect it to free space for new franchise experiences.
