The Black Hole
The ride that became "Star Tours" first saw light as a proposal for an attraction based on the 1979 Disney live-action film "The Black Hole". It would have been an interactive ride-simulator attraction where guests would have had the ability to choose the route. However, after preliminary planning, the "Black Hole" attraction was shelved due to its enormous cost—approximately US$50 million—as well as the unpopularity of the film itself.
