Star Tours – The Adventures Continue

I’ve never liked simulation rides. They often make me nauseous and this one definitely did too. However, if you do like simulation rides, you might like this one.
I have also never seen Star Wars, so although the characters were cool, it was hard to relate to the scenes.

We go on this ride again & again, with or without the kids. It never seems to get tired or old! Total immersion motion ride simulation experience is what it’s all about. Such exhilarating fun to let yourself take flight in star wars! We’ve done all the possible endings and love them all. I could definitely skip the gift shop, but kids will be kids. Even the line is still fun. Who Doesn’t love Star Wars? So imaginative!

The theming on this ride is amazing. If you are a little weary of these kinds of rides, it really wasn’t too bad, especially compared to Mission: Space at Epcot. I’m definitely glad I did this, however I wouldn’t waste a fastpass on this one. Wait until extra magic hours or until the queue is down to 10 – 15 minutes.

This is a decent ride but suffers from crowding during busy days. On less crowded days you can effectively walk onto it. It is pretty bumpy and shakes you around a lot. The ride would have little reride value, but it has multiple «trips» you can take, and i, despite taking a plethora of rides over multiple trips to Disney, have never been able to ride on them all.

Real 3D experience with movement inside the cabin and some sense. Go early in the morning and you will get there.

Love that there are different combinations of scenes during the ride. I appreciated the slight update for the new movie coming out. I usually do fine with the 3D and motion simulators but this did get me more motion sick than other rides, e.g., despicable me (from Universal, I know).

OH WOW! It’s been updated to reflect the new characters. I was SO impressed. I haven’t ridden this in ages. And the last time I did, it was what I referred to as a «Milk shake» machine. This time, the ride was smooth, the queue was short (Thanks to the Osborne Family of Dancing lights) and all in all, I was quite pleased.

This ride is absolutely fantastic and I must do at least twice. Why do I say twice? Well, this simulator has 54 different versions of rides so most likely you will not get the same ride twice. I did it three times and each time was completely different than the last!
When a character came to visit I had three different ones; one on each ride! The simulations were completely different. Some were dives and others ascended more. It was really fun. Some even went underwater.
What a great ride! Usually there’s not a long line but that varies. I would definitely use a fast pass if you find one for this after toy story. Do not miss this ride and if the lines are not long do it more than once if you liked it the first time. Oh, by the way it is 3-​D and so much fun.

A lot shorter than I remember. I’ve ridden the ride before at Disneyland in California and liked it a decent amount. My fiancé and I are big Star Wars fans so we enjoyed this ride, but I don’t know if it would have been worth the wait without a fast pass. We used one of our three fast passes in Hollywood Studios on this ride. It’s a simulator ride and you’re going through space. Interesting, but doesn’t really do Star Wars justice. I’m looking forward to the new Star Wars attractions coming to Disney soon!

Much like George Lucas’ multiple «improvements» to the original trilogy this ride makes me feel dead inside. It’s the year 2015 and I just can no longer get excited over sitting in a room that tilts/​shakes while you look at a fuzzy screen through scratched 3D glasses. I love the build-​up to this ride. Walking under an AT-​AT on Endor is a great photo opportunity. Seeing C-​3PO and R2-​D2 banter with each other is quite entertaining, as are the other smart-​aleck droids that speak to you while you’re waiting in the queue. Once the ride itself starts the fun ends for me. I think it’s great how they’ve integrated a real-​life C-​3PO as your pilot but once that room starts throwing you around all I can think of is how ready I am for it to be over. It’s hard not to get excited thinking of what Disney could do with Star Wars if they build a real «land» dedicated to it. Until then this ride is all we’ve got.

Long long ago, in a city far far away, I rode this… And loved it.
Well it wasn’t that long ago, and only 2 hrs away, but I had to start that way. This ride is well themed for entertainment while waiting the voyage through the stars. It is a stationary, platform simulator type ride that has you all sit in rows of ~8−10 across. There are. Many simulations you can encounter, with different movements and video. It’s not very intense, but thrilling enough for enjoyment. And there’s A/​C to cool off from the park that is a parking lot (=intense heat with no escape).
Not too gimmicky, enjoyable experience and time away from heat. Oh, and it’s Star Wars.

This is a pretty cool ride. One of the better simulator rides that I’ve been on. I definitely recommend taking the time to get on this one, especially if it rains or it is super hot. The Star Wars theme is pretty cool and is updated. Be prepared to wear your hi-​tech looking 3D glasses.

It’s usually a pretty long wait for a very short ride, but it’s fun and the graphics are pretty spectacular. I found myself wishing the ride would linger longer on Hoth and the other locales, but you are quickly whisked off to another adventure.
Flying through the Rebel fleet a la Empire Strikes Back is pretty awesome.

The ride has changed since I was in Orlando five years ago — it’s pretty fun, and if you haven’t ridden it at all, or for awhile — you’ll probably enjoy it!

This is a 3-​D shaky ship ride with Star Wars as the main theme. I haven’t been on this ride in Disneyland in years and apparently they have replaced the cute little robot guy with C-​3P0.
You will also see Darth Vader on this ride! I got slightly dizzy on this one even though you really don’t move all that much. Still, it happened and I wasn’t feel all that great, but after a long day of rides it’s bound to happen.
Still, if you love Star Wars and rides then you better try this place out!

More FUN than I Remember ! Star Wars Themed Ride. This was only my second time on this November 2014 (previous ride was October 2009)! As with some of the Other Park Rides, it is not always the same with more than one Beginning, Journey and Ending (someone said 50 + possibilities) ! Since I have only seen 3 of the movies I was not sure about some of it, though did not feel lost!
I would Ride this every time I’m in the Park though I do NOT recommend back-​to-​back rides if you are over 30 or maybe any age? Knowing where the closest closet or bathroom is might be helpful

Who doesn’t love Star Wars? Well, if you don’t, better stop reading this review now because it’s about, you guessed it, Star Wars! Well, the Star Tours ride, which is obviously Star Wars-​themed, but I digress.
Nestled away on the side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios is the Star Wars area of the park. Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and even some stormtroopers can be seen parading around, brandishing their lightsabers and guns. The main attraction in this area is Star Tours, the ride which takes adventurers on a wild chase through space.
The wait usually isn’t too bad for this ride, since it seats a ton of people. You are given 3D glasses and asked to sit down in your own little Star Wars fighter jet! I’m not sure what kind of spacecraft it is, actually, but it’s still cool.
You’re taken through basically all of the planets/​areas in Star Wars on this ride, with C3PO at the helm. It’s great if you just want to sit down and enjoy yourself for a few minutes, and it isn’t terribly bumpy or crazy.
Good ride for families and people who love Star Wars!

My fiancé’s absolute favorite ride (he rode it twice).
Honestly, this ride makes me a little sick. I get motion sickness easily, so I opted out of riding it again. If my fiancé had his way, he would have gone six more times. He says he can spend the entire day riding this. There are many different story lines, which is why he can ride it again and again. (I think there is actually over 60 stories, but I might be misremembering that).
If you love star wars, you will love this ride!

I liked this ride before the upgrade. The experience was fun. I even have seen the technology they used on a back stage tour. And I only have been on the new version once. And being almost blind in one eye, I can’t experience the full 3D experience. Despite all these complications, I thoroughly enjoyed a new story/​voyage.
Mission Space has not changed much, and I still have fun despite the same old journey. So please, take this into account when evaluating this review.

If you are a fan of Star Wars you will love this ride/​simulator. I am sure some super fans may disagree with me, but this ride does have a few issues.
The way this ride works is that is a simulator with several rows of seats. Everyone wears 3D glasses, plus the simulator moves, giving you the full 4D experience. Our journey was piloted by C-​3PO and was quite entertaining. The highlights were the battle against storm troopers, land speeder race and flying through the death star. The motion of the ride made me feel like we were truly flying and was as realistic as a Star Wars experience could have been. If you or a member of your group starts getting scared, I suggest they close their eyes. They will still feel the motion, but removing the visual cues will usually let the motion sickness pass. It would be pretty bad to vomit inside of the ride as everyone around you would not be pleased.
This ride was very short compared to the amount of time many people had to wait. I lucked out and had a fast pass, but others told me they waited 40 minutes. Considering the ride lasted five minutes I cannot see how it is worth waiting at all. The other issue had to do with seating position. If you are tall I highly recommend not sitting on the end of a row. If you do your head may come in contact with the side of the ride and it is not the most enjoyable experience. If you sit in the middle you will bump into others, but that is probably less painful than the wall.
In summary, if there is no wait, take this ride.
