Star Tours

Frommer's Review

Cutting-edge when it opened, Star Tours, based on the original Star Wars trilogy (George Lucas collaborated on the ride), is now a couple of rungs below the latest technology but is still fun. The preshow has R2-D2 and C-3PO running an intergalactic travel agency (it offers some of the best detailing of any preshow at Disney World). After boarding a 40-seat "spacecraft," you're off with a whoosh on a journey that takes you through some of the more famous scenes from the movies, full of sudden drops, crashes, and oncoming laser blasts as you seemingly careen out of control. Note: The virtual-simulator may go nowhere at all, but it sure feels like you do. Riders must be at least 40 inches tall. Also, expectant mothers and people with neck, back, and heart problems or those prone to motion sickness shouldn't ride. There are, however, plenty of places to focus your vision other than the screen (unlike some of the newer simulator rides) if you begin to feel a bit green.
