Star Tours

Star Tours is based on the George Lucas Film "Star Wars." Riders booked their trip to the forest Moon of Endor with the Star Tours travel agency. An inexperienced pilot bumbles through a series of mishaps and into a battle zone, where the spacecraft ends up in the path of the dreaded Death Star.

While Star Tours was great fun when it first opened, it's getting a little dated. Nevertheless, a ride in a runaway spacecraft is always fun.

Star Tours Facts

Advice About Star Tours
  • There's lots of simulated excitement on Star Tours, and it can be noisy, too.
  • This star-chasing ride is not for anyone a neck or back trouble, heart problems or for expectant mothers.
  • Prone to motion sickness? Take precautions or stay behind.
  • During the "pre-boarding" video, look for the Ewok boarding the STARSPEEDER 3000 carrying a stuffed Mickey Mouse toy.

Fun Facts About Star Tours

While standing in line, you may hear: "Mr. Egroeg Sacul, please see the Star Tours agent at gate number 3." Reverse letters, and you've got George Lucas (creator of Star Wars) spelled backwards. You may also hear: "Hover vehicle THX-1138, you are parked in a no-hover zone," referring to Lucas' film THX-1138.

The voice of co-pilot Rex is Peewee Herman. The voice of C-3PO in the entry area is Anthony Daniels, who was also three-p-o's voice in the films.

Accessiblity

Contact a Cast Member at the entrance for boarding information. Some of the pre-show monitors display guest-activated captioning. Cast Members can help you with this, too. Service animals can't go on Star Tours
