Star Tours

Buckle your seat belts as you head to the Moon of Endor! Begin your trip with a walk through the factory to see R2D2 and C-3Po at work as well as getting a look at replicas of the Moon of Endor and an AT-AT.

The Star Tours Starspeeder 3000 is piloted by RX-24, a novice droid pilot, who winds up turning your tour into a high speed ride through the solar system. During your ride, you dodge comets, a Star Des toyer and the Death Star! Finally you land safely back at headquarters and all ends well.

Star Tours opened in Disney Hollywood Studios (Then names MGM Studios) on December 15, 1989. The simulated ride is a park favorite, and of course, is based on the popular Star Wars franchise.

This is more of a 3.5 than a 3. It hasn't held up as well as other attractions, but the ride was quite groundbreaking when it debuted. This ride is definitely in need of updating to the newer Star Wars movies.

As we go more that twice each year, we tend to see the attractions more than most. Star Tours is great, but I believe it is getting a little dated and needs to be updated. The motion simulation is great and the excitement is blended well with the comedy to make it not so scary.

When Star Tours opened in 1989, it was probably meant to be what Universal's Spider-man is today. Star tours is a Star Wars themed ride that puts you in the cockpit of a ship caught up in the struggle for the Galaxy as depicted by George Lucas? epic movies. Sounds great! Well?the screen which shows you the action is quite small, the static motion never really makes it feel as if you are going anywhere; and when you get off the ride you are left wondering?was that the queue movie? I imagine when it first opened Star Tours was exciting, but with rides like Spiderman out there, the imaginers better make some changes to create Star Tours: Special edition much like Lucas did with his movies. This ride gets 2 stars for having C3PO and R2D2 in the queue.
