Star Tours (real-world)
Canon Linked from 308 articles
Star Tours was a Disney simulator ride theme park attraction located at Disneyland at Disneyland Resort in California, Disney's Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland at Tokyo Disney Resort in Tokyo, Japan and Disneyland Park at Disneyland Paris in Paris, France.
Groups of visitors, or "passengers," were taken on by the fictional travel agency known as Star Tours, via a space tour vessel called the StarSpeeder 3000 and set in the Star Wars universe. Thanks to an inexperienced and thoroughly incompetent droid pilot named RX-24, what was billed as a leisurely tour to the Endor moon became a wild ride as the tour got caught up in a battle between the Empire and the Rebels.
The first incarnation of the ride appeared in Tomorrowland at Disneyland in 1987, replacing the attraction Adventure Thru Inner Space. The original Star Tours closed in 2010 (July 27 in Disneyland, September 8 in Disney's Hollywood Studios) while Disney engineers built the updated and renovated ride, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, which opened on May 20, 2011. Tokyo Disneyland's version of the original ride closed in April 2012 to make way for the updated ride in Spring 2013. Disneyland Paris's version closed on March 16, 2016 to make way for the update.
Some footage from the original ride appeared years later as part of a flight simulator in the Star Wars: Millennium Falcon themed area of the Disney Dream cruise ship.
