In an exclusive quote from Disney Parks Blog, we learn more about the soon-to-be-reopened Star Tours 2.0:


Star Tours 2.0 Sneak Peek! First Image From Inside The Re-Imagined Ride
by Katherine P. Nym, Social Media Manager, Disneyland Resort

Guests returning this summer to journey through 'a galaxy far, far away' will be glad to see some familiar faces inside the Star Speeder 2000 vehicles. As previously announced, beloved droid C-3PO will end up being the pilot for many of our outgoing flights. However, it has been now exclusively revealed Star Wars fans will encounter more old friends besides the protocol droid. Every voyage has the
possibility ofbeing piloted by that fan-favorite Gungan,
Jar-Jar Binks. Of course, he will need some help piloting the Speeder successfully, so young Anakin Skywalker will play a role as well via communcation screen to assist in navigating through a galaxy of adventure and dangers. Come to Disneyland soon and visit these delightful Star Wars staples, or you could be in bombad big bantha poodoo!

Tomorrowland's Clock of the World

Post-1959, but not sure of more precise dating for this image sadly. A lovely tour guide is pointing out to Disneyland visitors how the top ornament of the Clock of the World looks like a large colander cut in half. Budgets were tight in the early years, you know.

Richfield Oil's "The World Beneath Us"



Tomorrowland's resident spaceman K-7 welcomes guests to a presentation of The World Beneath Us. Once inside, they would view a model of the Earth's crust and a CinemaScope film about the formation and development of the planet. This attraction opened in 1955 and closed in 1960.
