Blast off to a galaxy far, far away on Star Tours – The Adventures Continue!
📍Hollywood Studios | Echo Lake
Stepping into Star Tours – The Adventures Continue you’ll find yourself inside a bustling spaceport, where the excitement of intergalactic travel is in the air.
The Queue
The queue winds through a high-tech terminal, complete with droids hard at work, and a massive StarSpeeder 1000 waiting to whisk you away. As you make your way through, you’ll pass by C-3PO and R2-D2 preparing for your upcoming adventure, and you’ll even catch glimpses of other familiar faces from the Star Wars universe.
The queue is packed with details that will make any Star Wars fan feel right at home, from the galactic departure board to the quirky droid interactions. While the line can get lengthy, the immersive theming makes the wait feel like part of the adventure.
The Ride
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue is a 3D motion simulator that takes you on an unpredictable journey through the Star Wars galaxy. With multiple possible storylines, each ride is a unique experience, offering encounters with characters like Darth Vader, Yoda, BB-8, and more. As your StarSpeeder 1000 careens through space, you’ll dodge blaster fire, race through asteroid fields, and maybe even join a battle against the First Order. The ride is a perfect blend of thrilling motion and stunning visual effects, making you feel like you’re truly part of the Star Wars saga. Whether you’re escaping from stormtroopers or navigating the icy landscape of Hoth, the adventure is always fresh and exciting.
The Ride Vehicle
The StarSpeeder 1000 is a motion-simulated vehicle designed to replicate the experience of space travel. Inside, the vehicle seats up to 40 passengers in rows, with seat belts to secure each rider. The seating is arranged in a theater-style format, giving everyone a clear view of the action on the screen. While the vehicle itself doesn’t move across the ground, the combination of motion simulation and 3D visuals creates the sensation of speeding through space. The ride vehicle is accessible, with seats that are easy to get in and out of, and there’s plenty of room to store any bags or belongings at your feet.
Like most newer Walt Disney World rides, Star Tours – The Adventures Continue exits into a themed merchandise shop, in this case Tatooine Traders, which you must walk through in order to get back to your day.
Rider Swap
Rider Swap is available for Star Tours, making it easy for families with young children or those who prefer to sit out the adventure. To use Rider Swap, just speak to a Cast Member at the entrance, and they’ll help coordinate the swap so that both adults can enjoy the ride without having to wait in the regular line again. It’s a smooth and simple process that ensures everyone in your group has a chance to explore the galaxy.
Accessibility:
Star Tours is accessible to guests with mobility challenges, though it does require a transfer from a wheelchair or scooter to the ride vehicle. The transfer is straightforward, and Cast Members are available to assist as needed. The loading area is well-designed to accommodate guests, with a gentle slope leading into the StarSpeeder and ample room for maneuvering. Additionally, the ride offers a stationary option for guests who prefer not to experience the full motion simulation.
Height Requirement:
Imperial Walker Out Front
Riders must be at least 40 inches tall to embark on this intergalactic adventure.
