Star Tours

Star Tours – The Adventures Continue

Star ToursIn Star Tours, guests takes on the role of a space tourist. The tour is put together by the Star Tours Travel Agency. The ride queue – a spaceship boarding terminal, is stocked with Audio-Animatronic characters that should look familiar to most (C-3PO and R2-D2 from Star Wars among them) and seem to interact with guests.

Guests are escorted the StarSpeeder 3000 for the simulation ride to begin. Star Tours first opened in 1987 where Rex, the RX-24 begins the ride by saying “I know this is probably your first flight, and it’s mine too… ha, ha”. This statement sets the stage for the guest to expect the unexpected. The ride was closed for almost a year from July 27, 2010 till May 20, 2011 and coverted to Star Tours: The Adventures Continue.

This is a highly repeatable ride as the ride sequence is randomized.  There are two possible opening segments, three possible primary destinations, three possible hologram messages and three possible ending destion segments.  Together, this allows 54 different possible scenarios.  The main objective of taking the Rebel spy to safety is accomplished no matter which scenario is shown.
