Star Tours: The Adventures Continue
Disneyland Park Paris · Discoveryland
Overview
Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is a motion simulator placing guests inside StarSpeeder 1000 for a kinetic journey through the Star Wars galaxy. A pre-ride droid check builds tension before the ship careens through a randomized sequence of destinations — from Hoth to Crait, Jakku, or Takodana — with cameo appearances from characters including R2-D2, BB-8, Darth Vader, and Rey. With segments picked at random, the experience is designed for repeat riding. The 3D goggles, surround sound, and full-motion platform create a highly immersive physical experience despite the brief runtime.
ParksLog verdict
Ride this at least twice to catch a different story path — that's when the randomized system genuinely earns its keep. Star Wars fans will find more to appreciate on each visit; casual guests get the novelty on the first ride. Medium motion sickness potential means it's not for everyone. If queues are short, back-to-back laps on different paths are the smart play.
