I was at Disneyland last night when we decided to check out Star Tours at about 7:00 PM. The first thing I noticed was that all of the exterior lighting was off. A cast member informed us that the entire building had lost power, and inside I could see the emergency lights were on. The rest of the area still had power and was operating as usual. I did not return to see if power had been restored that night. This is why they have soft openings, to work out the bugs, but to have a catastrophic power failure on an attraction that has been operating for over 30 years seems a bit unusual.

24 years, but who's counting.

Evidently you are. ;)

Didn't get to ride Star Tours today, but 3 rides on Little Mermaid made us happy. That's a fun little dark ride.

Star Tours 2 is rad. A bit heavy on the prequels, but we had So.Much.Fun. Our first ride was geektacular, and I laughed my head off. Second had only one departure from the first, but also tons of fun. When heading into the building, choose to stand in the left-hand queue if you can. That side's much better in the second queue room. Other than that, apparently the ride branches are luck of the draw. Overall, I think it helps a bit to be a bit of a Star Wars geek - but not necessary for your enjoyment.


Fun. :D

Ride it again, hopefully you'll get luckier.

Not a matter of luck. There's only one O.T. planet option available. It's a hoot, but not good odds. We got it both times, but I'd still say the new Tours is heavy on the prequels, since all the other possible destinations are Prequel Planets.

Sounds great! I'm going for the AP preview Wed. night. Can't wait!

We really liked it. So much fun to not know what's going to happen next.
