Description And Comments
Based on the Star Wars movie series, this was Disney’s first modern simulator ride. Guests ride in a flight simulator modeled after those used for training pilots and astronauts. You experience dips, turns, twists, and climbs as your vehicle goes through an intergalactic version of the chariot race in Ben-Hur.
The ride film is projected in high-definition 3-D and has more than 50 combinations of opening and ending scenes, including clips from The Force Awakens. You could ride Star Tours all day without seeing the same film segment twice.
An interactive show, Jedi Training Academy, is staged several times daily to the left of the Star Tours building entrance.
