Disney’s Star Tours – What Should I Be Afraid Of?

Star Tours – The Adventures Continue at Walt Disney World and Disneyland may rank really high in Disney ride reviews , but how scary might it be – and what  exactly might you be afraid of?

Star Tours – The Adventures Continue is the oldest of the 3 Star Wars rides at Disney World and Disneyland. Designed as a 3-D flight simulator ride, Star Tours gives you the opportunity to climb aboard a Starspeeder and go on a tour of the galaxy. The thing is, your adventure goes awry as you make your way through several worlds!

Many guests consider Star Tours a classic attraction at both Disneyland and Disney World . I personally view it as a must-do ride at least once when visiting on vacation. In fact, its re-rideability factor is incredibly high because of its virtually limitless different ride sequences.

But what exactly might make it a scary ride? We've ridden Star Tours countless times and understand the ins and outs of it like the back of our hands.

This is why we at MickeyVisit put together this comprehensive ride review of Star Tours – The Adventures Continue so you have a clear idea of what to expect when riding it.

Disney Ride Review

In an effort to clearly define just how scary a ride is, we developed an ultra-scientific backed-by-research rating system. We call it the Mickey Visit Ride Rating System – MVRRS for short (pretty clever, huh?) The MVRRS goes as follows:

• Wimp Proof: Not scary at all
• Wimp Proof- ish :  Seems scary at first, but after, you feel it's nothing to worry about
• Scary but Survivable:  Moderately scary
• Scary :  Definitely scary, but you'll be able to sleep at night
• Bravest Riders Only:  The scariest ride you'll find in a theme park

Star Tours Ride Overview

There are 2 versions of Star Tours: 1 in Disney's Hollywood Studios and 1 in Disneyland Park.

Star Tours takes you to a number of different planets from the Star Wars universe. The catch is, you never know exactly which planets you visit until you ride. That's because the Disney Imagineers designed the ride scenes to be randomized. This means that not only will you visit a different planet each time you ride, but the order in which you visit them will change too!

You might be familiar with Soarin’ Around the World at EPCOT or Disney’s California Adventure. You might also be familiar with Avatar Flight of Passage at Disney's Animal Kingdom. All of these rides are flight simulator-based rides. Star Tours is similar, but instead of having the experience of flying on a glider or riding on a banshee, your entire flight experience is in a spaceship themed to the Star Wars universe.

Here’s some important information to review before riding Star Tours:

• Access: Lightning Lane Multi Pass , Rider Switch
• Height Requirements: Guests must be at least 40″ (102)
• Highest Speed: Not Applicable (movement is felt through the 3D screen and flight simulator)
• Length: 7 minutes
• Other Features:  3D Screen

Star Tours Ride Queue: What You Need to Know

At both Disney parks, both the standby queue and Lightning Lane queue for Star Tours start right at the ride’s signage.

The merge point for both queues happens right before being directed toward the boarding area. Although their entrances and merge points are the same, the queues at both Disneyland Park and Disney's Hollywood Studios are slightly different.

At Disney's Hollywood Studios , there is an outdoor section to the ride queue in case wait times skyrocket (luckily, they rarely do). This outdoor queue was made to look like an Ewok village, complete with green shrubs, towering trees, and shade from the Florida sun. What makes this queue so popular is the towering AT-AT that you get to walk under before entering the show building.

At Disneyland Park , the outdoor queue is a snaking line formed by stanchions along the wall of the show building. Nothing more, nothing less. However, once you enter the show buildings for both rides, their queues are almost identical.

The first section of the queue gives the feeling that you're walking through an airport terminal, with security scans, luggage screenings, and flight status information and planetary weather forecasts on a large screen. You'll even see a full-sized Starspeeder in the queue, along with a life-sized C-3PO and R2D2 working on the ship.

The second section of the queue is a cargo area where bags are being loaded onto Starspeeder ships. You'll also see a bunch of different droids getting ready for departure, along with Captain Rex making comments about the guests about to board their flight.

You'll then retrieve your 3-D “flight glasses” before being directed by a Cast Member to your specific boarding area.

Lastly, it's important to note that there are 2 chicken exits available should you choose to skip the ride. The first is at the boarding area, where you can ask a Cast Member to walk straight to the exit. The second isn't the most convenient: if you decide to sit this ride out while in the queue, you can simply turn around and walk back out the way you entered.

Star Tours Ride Vehicle Information

While they are all flight simulator attractions, the ride vehicle for Star Tours is very different from that of Flight of Passage and Soarin’ Around the World – let’s review why.

Your Starspeeder is set up like a small theater with 5 rows. Each row has 8 seats with a fabric lap belt, a shared armrest, and a net bag below to hold your belongings. After your ride pre-show, a Cast Member will direct you to your designated seating area. 

Combining high-definition video, a Dolby 3D high-definition screen, and an advanced motion simulator, the Star Tours ride vehicle makes you feel like you're on a high-speed flight through space. The ride vehicle uses a hydraulic motion base cabin, very similar to flight simulators that were used by the military. It tilts considerably within 3 different planes, making your ride feel as real as possible.

Star Tours: Ride Experience

Just before boarding, you'll watch the overhead screens that serves 2 purposes.

First, you'll watch how C-3PO gets trapped in the Starspeeder cockpit while doing maintenance, making him the defacto pilot of your flight. Second, another droid will tell you your boarding and safety instructions before climbing into your ship. After you fasten your seat belt and put on your 3-D glasses, C-3PO introduces himself as the ship's captain. Your ride then begins, taking you on a virtually endless combination of scenarios.

First, just as you start to take off on what's supposed to be a relaxing trip, your speeder is stopped by one of the following villains looking for a Rebel Spy (someone who happens to be a randomly selected guest!):

• Darth Vader and his Stormtroopers
• A probe droid
• Kylo Ren and his First Order Storm Troopers

After narrowly escaping one of these villains, your Starspeeder then travels at light speed to 1 of the following planets:

After jumping into the action that's taking place at one of these planets, you'll jump back out into space and encounter one of several possible Star Wars heroes who all direct you to take your Rebel Spy safely to a rendezvous point. You'll then travel to one of the following planets:

Because this ride is a 3-D flight simulator, it does a fantastic job making you feel like you're on a high-speed flight through space, navigating planets and dodging enemies. Let's review the aspects of the ride that that make Star Tours thrilling and add to its MVRRS rating:

• Flight Simulator: The 3-D flight simulator ride vehicle is highly turbulent and includes sharp turns and sudden bumps. If you're sensitive to motion sickness, you may want to skip this ride
• 3-D Glasses: The use of 3-D glasses to give more life to your ride experience may also not be for those with sensitivities to motion sickness
• Action Story Elements: The variety of possible destinations on this ride include action scenes such as battles against The First Order, dodging pod racers, and jumping to hyperspace. If you or your kiddos do not like startling scenes or action scenes, you may want to skip this ride
• Length: At about 7 minutes, Star Tours is a little shorter than Haunted Mansion, slightly longer than Under the Sea Journey of the Little Mermaid, and more than double the length of WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure

Every single effect adds up to a very fun ride.

Favorite Moment of Star Tours

Here's why you need to ride Star Tours.

When it first opened, Star Tours set the tone for themed the simulation rides and attractions Disney built after it. Not only is each ride unique because of its randomized sequence of planetary destinations. Every time I buckle myself into the ride vehicle to blast off to light speed, I truly feel like I'm traveling out of this would.

The thing is, this isn't my favorite part of the ride.

My favorite part of Star Tours doesn't even involve me. It involves the guests around me. Without fail, every time I ride Star Tours, there is always one guest or a group of guests that get so much excitement out of riding Star Tours. Sometimes it's their laughter as we hit light speed. Or it's their yelling as we almost crash into another ship. Other times, it's their awe as they come face to face with a Star Wars hero.

There is always somebody riding with me that gets an absolute kick out of Star Tours – and I love it.

Star Tours: Scary Verdict

So, how does our ride review of Star Tours stack up against our MVRRS?

MVRRS VERDICT : Wimp Proof- ish :  Seems scary at first, but after, you feel it's nothing to worry about

Star Tours – The Adventures Continue has a re-rideability factor that's through the roof. Its randomized destination sequences make it worth coming back again and again to witness even a slightly different experience. Just the thought of encountering another awesome Star Wars character makes me want to ride it again.

We must address, however, the elephant in the room: the flight simulator.

The flight simulator ride vehicle on Star Tours does a fantastic job at making you feel like you're traveling at light speed to your next planetary destination. However, because of its close-to-reality flight experience, guests with sensitivities to motion sickness may not be suitable to ride. Additionally, many of the action scenes may scare some of the kiddos in your party.

However, I must admit that from my experience of riding Star Wars countless times, I have yet to witness anyone walking out of the ride completely scared or about to put their heads into the nearest trash can. So while the ride in theory may steer certain guests away, in practice I have yet to see any adverse reactions to it.

In the end, I highly recommend riding Star Tours every single time I visit Disneyland Park or Disney's Hollywood Studios.

The world's best astrotourism adventures

From the Namib Desert in southern Africa to Finnish Lapland, these remote destinations are ideal for stargazing

• Newsletter sign up Newsletter

With a total solar eclipse and the Perseid meteor shower, it's been an incredible year so far for astrotourism – the practice of travelling to remote destinations to observe the night sky. And with the northern lights season about to begin, there is no better time to start planning a stargazing trip.

Light pollution impacts the vast majority of the world, said Alicia Miller in the London Evening Standard , making it a rarity to find a place where the sky is "blanketed in stars".

There's been a rise in demand for this elusive type of trip. Nordic tour operator Discover the World reported a 40% year-on-year increase in northern lights holiday enquiries, while Black Tomato is now offering dedicated "eclipse" trips for travellers keen to witness "rare solar or lunar events".

While the aurora borealis and solar eclipses get "the most attention", said Cassandra Brooklyn in National Geographic , other "spectacular night sky events " take place throughout the year. Still to come in 2024, Saturn will converge with the Moon on multiple occasions including 17 September, 14 and 15 October, 11 November and 8 December. Observers in Australia, western US, Canada and northwestern Mexico will be able to witness the "silvery lunar glow and giant yellow planet" with or without binoculars.

As the nights draw in, here are some of the best destinations around the world for a stargazing adventure.

Skylark Cabin, New Zealand

The Mackenzie region on New Zealand's South Island is beautiful by day, said Miller, but by night the southern hemisphere's largest dark skies reserve "shimmers in a frothy sea of pin-prick stars". In the midst of this vast protected landscape lies Skylark Cabin, a "luxe, contemporary hideaway in dark glass and wood". Guests can marvel at the stars from the outdoor hot tub and "observe the twinkling" from the king-size bed set "strategically" beneath a skylight.

skylarkcabin.co.nz

&Beyond Sossusvlei Desert Lodge, Namibia

This seriously luxurious lodge is located over 80 miles from the nearest town in the Namib Desert and has "minimal-to-zero" light pollution, making it one of Africa's many great stargazing spots, said Miller. The hotel has resident astronomers, its own observatory, and sprawling suites with skylights revealing the inky night sky.

andbeyond.com

Alto Atacama, Chile

The "heady mix of parched desert air, nominal light pollution and high altitude" make the clear skies above the Atacama Desert among the planet's very best for stargazing, said The Telegraph . Guests have access to a nearby hilltop observatory and can book guided sessions to learn about the constellations.

nayaraaltoatacama.com

Trout Point Lodge, Canada

Situated in Nova Scotia's Tobeatic Wilderness Area, this remote wilderness lodge is "haute rustic in style and equally impressive on food", said The Telegraph. The hotel has a stargazing platform in a nearby riverside meadow – a peaceful setting to take advantage of the area's low light pollution levels.

troutpoint.com

Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort, Finland

Situated deep in Finnish Lapland , the "picturesque glass igloos" at Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort offer entirely "unobstructed views" of the northern lights, said Stefanie Weldek in Travel + Leisure . When guests can bring themselves to leave their cosy domes, the hotel also runs "northern lights-chasing excursions" hosted by expert guides.

kakslauttanen.fi

Caban y Nen, Wales

"Why go to the observatory when it can come to you?" said Katie Gatens in The Times . These solar-powered shepherd's huts in west Wales have "more than a touch of James Bond about them". Guests can open the roof to "reveal the night sky" and stargaze from the comfort of their beds.

Editoral Review of Star Tours

Offering escorted and tailor made holidays, Star Tours is one of the most popular ways to find fully pre-packaged trips around the world.

What Makes Them Stand Out?

Star Tours is a tour operator specializing in escorted and tailor made holidays around the world, but focused in London and Asia.

Who Travels With Them?

Groups of 20 or more attend their coach tours, or you can hop on a pre-planned tour with a smaller group. They do request a single supplement so this may not the best choice for solo travelers.

Where Do They Operate?

Star Tours has tours all over the world, but are well known for the London and Asia tours.

Why Travel With Them?

If you are interested in learning the history and culture of a new destination, on a tour led by experienced tour operators, and without the hassle of planning the logistics of your trip, Star Tours is a good option.
