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

Dozens of possible scene and destination combinations mean few guests see the same ride twice in a row — a real upgrade over the original single-storyline version that ran from 1987 to 2011. Sit toward the front for the most intense motion; guests sensitive to simulator sickness should pace themselves. Worth riding more than once specifically because of the randomization.
