Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
Disneyland Park · Tomorrowland
Overview
Star Tours puts guests in a motion-simulator Starspeeder piloted by droid C-3PO on a randomized mission across the Star Wars galaxy, with dozens of possible scene and destination combinations meaning few guests see the exact same ride twice in a row. The randomized structure was a significant format upgrade over the ride's original single-storyline version, and 3D visuals add depth to the simulated flight motion.
ParksLog Verdict
A well-executed motion simulator whose randomized missions genuinely reward repeat rides, something rare among Disney attractions of this type. A solid pick for Star Wars fans, though guests sensitive to simulator motion should pace themselves.
