So, uh, Star Tours. - Page 2

So now I find out thru facebook that a bunch of people I know DID go the Park last nite, and never made an effort to say that in advance. Perhaps if I'd gone to Comic Con ...

oh well.

I'll bet you could probably recreate a better Star Tours in a hotel room...

Heheh, I was going to bring my Artoo Detoo for the Tomorrowland Bathroom, but decided I wanted to stick with a decidedly old-school vibe in there.

1987 IS old school. Star Tours existed for nearly half of Disneyland's history.

This ride makes me queasy (as do most motion simulators). I used to go through the queue with everyone and then just pass through to the other side to wait for everyone to go to Endor and back.

Wow - that is an interesting statistic.

Star Tours is (for me) like every other motion simulator ride. Interesting to go on once and then I never need to go again. And since every motion simulator ride is just like every other motion simulator having been on any motion simulator once I never need go on one again.

So, having already been on Star Tours, I won't need to go on the new one either as I will have already have already been on it.

I do/did however, like the queue.

Yep, we need a fantastically better Inner Space ride, not another lame, barely repeatable movie-based attraction.

In any event, relative age alone does not render something old school. No matter long Disneyland may survive, old school Tomorrowland will forever be 1967.

A send-off would have been nice. I didn't realize it was so close to closing time.

Did Star Tours once, meh. I'd rather that ATIS be brought back in some form. The technology is so much better now and the Paul Frees narration is burned into my brain.

I would give up a cat to ride ATIS again.
