Star Tours Tips

  • Scary Factor: Action-packed but not traditionally scary. Includes loud sounds, sudden movements, and intense visuals that may overwhelm sensitive riders.
  • Speed: Simulates high-speed space travel through motion effects and 3D visuals, but the ride vehicle remains stationary.
  • Ride Duration: Star Tours is approximately 4–5 minutes long.
  • Drops: No physical drops, but motion simulation may create the sensation of sudden movements or descents.
  • Pregnancy Advisory: Not recommended for pregnant guests due to dynamic motion and simulated movements.
  • Accessibility: Guests in ECV or power wheelchairs must transfer to a manual wheelchair and then to the ride vehicle. Most power wheelchairs are accommodated in accessible queues. Service animals are not permitted.
  • Sensory Advisory: Star Tours features loud sounds, flashing lights, and turbulent motion, including quick turns and simulated high-speed travel, which may trigger vertigo or motion sickness. The dark theater, sudden bright visuals, and intense effects may be overwhelming for sensory-sensitive guests.
  • Plus-Size Friendly: Lap belts and seat sizes may feel restrictive for some guests. Narrow entryways may pose challenges for accessibility.
  • Best Age Group: Ideal for Star Wars fans and riders of all ages who meet the height requirement. May be too intense for very young or motion-sensitive individuals.
