So, uh, Star Tours.

Absolutely forgiven because of your youth. Especially since that sad youth meant missing Star Wars in theaters on its initial run. A beautiful reason to be alive and of movie-going age in 1977.

Aside from the breaking of the fourth wall which I think Star Wars and Indiana Jones do explicitly, all movie attractions really need to be conceived and prepared with four or five different films. Soaring Over California is great, but became pretty boring after the first dozen rides. Star Tours lasted perhaps 15.

I can't explain why movies have less repeatability than a physical attraction I know every inch of, but it's a known phenomena not experienced by me alone.

It's already such a cheap short-cut to have a movie ride in the first place. Not having any alternate films, for decades no less, is adding insult to cheap shot.
