Star Tours

It's a great ride, I'll give you that. It truly invokes the trench-run from "Star Wars: Episode IV" very vividly, and it causes the old feelings of nostalgia to rise up. But seriously Mr. Lucas, the technology is coming into it's 15th year. Being in how everything in Disneyland is evolving so rapidly, would it be so hard just to sink a million bucks into a new 15 minute real with updated special FX?

Found at both Tommorow Land (Disneyland) and MGM Studios (Disney World). This is one of the best rides in Disney. No kidding. You start out in line. Do not get a fast-pass. In WORLD, you get to go through Droid rooms, and all that fun stuff. A singing droid. The skeleton of the first Audio-animatronic. Egroeg Sacul.You will not want to miss this. Then you get in your Star-speeder. That's right, the same technology used for the military. You start out in liftoff. Oops, your captain, Rex, went the wrong way. Then he takes you on a ride to the Emperial Ship. Uh-oh. Anyway, I highly recomend this ride. Keep a look out for the Mighty Microscope, THX-1138, and a certain tag on Rex. Adieu

My father and I were in Disneyland 1 week prior to the "Grand Opening" of this ride at Disneyland back in 1987. Needless to say it is still on our list to catch when at the Disney parks. Considering the technology at the time it came out, it is still the foundation by which other "sim" rides attempt to duplicate. It was a lot of fun and regardless of the dialogue, it is just a good time...

Well, without the flight simulator cabin (at EuroDisney), this might not be as good - as it is, it's kind of like being in one of the battles in Star Wars. Can't comment on the dialogue, it was in French, but it's worth seeing if you happen to be there.

I grew up near Disneyland and let me tell you, Star Tours is fantastic. What an adventure, from the moment you step into the building until the moment you leave. I am, of course, a Star Wars fan as well, and it really helped in feeding my "addiction," if you will. :D I think my favorite part of the thing was the little worker droid that talked to you while you waited. Oh, man: when I went to Disneyland one day when I was six, I wore my new Little Mermaid socks (SOCKS, people, yes) and this little droid commented on them. "Hey, I like your socks." Honest to GOD, I am serious. Someone must have been in a room off somewhere with a camera hooked up to the droid's eyes, but either way, it was the greatest thing any kid could go through, I just remember everyone smiling at me and laughing, and I felt like the coolest kid out there. Go on this ride, gosh darn it. :D You won't regret it!
