Great motion simulator ride,
all the better for being supported by the Star Wars storyline
and video. |
The Star Tours attraction, inspired by George
Lucas' Star Wars films, is an enclosed simulator ride, which synchronises
the latest in motion simulator technology with a stunning film
sequence to provide an impressive ride.
During the attraction, (once in the simulator) guests
are supposed to be taken on a leisurely cruise to the Moon of
Endor, but the 5-minute ride soon turns into a deep-space fight
and chase sequence, which sees the small craft dodging asteroids,
along with a number of laser toting enemy fighters.
As simulators go, some of the newer generation are
certainly a litle more violent, and maybe because of the specific
film sequences used, more realistic (Wild Arctic at Seaworld for
one), however, Star Tours remains a classic simulator attraction,
which is well worth the queue.
NOTE: because of the erratic motion of the ride,
it is not recommended for anyone with a back, neck, or heart complaint.
Also the ride carries a minimum height restriction of 40 inches.
Children under 7 must be accompanied by an adult, and children
under 3 are not permitted in the simulator.
