On Friday morning I was in the Star Tours queue, where I had the opportunity to speak with Susan Dayne, Art Director for Star Tours. I apologize for the audio – I have a cold and I was losing my voice, so I’m afraid it’s hard to hear me – but fortunately Susan did most of the talking.
The opening ceremony for Star Tours – The Adventures Continue was on Friday morning. It was not nearly as flashy as the one at Disney’s Hollywood Studios – no George Lucas for us and it was fairly short.
One of the highlights of the day was getting to ride the updated Star Tours attraction with the man responsible for writing the show and all the dialog – Show Writer (and Show Rider) Steve Spiegel. In this unique experience, we got to talk to him before, during and after the ride!
Peg,
I suffer from motion sickness too, and this ride did make me feel a little queasy, just like the old version. Sorry if that brings you down, but it sure beats the alternative.
Hi Laura-
Great blog, I really enjoyed seeing the new Star Tours attraction in action. I have a few questions for you, I suffer from motions sickness and only rode the previous version once as it made me feel very ill, do you think the new version would be any better for someone such as myself? Does the ride feel any smoother? Did any of the people you rode the new Star Tours with comment on any feeling of motion sickness. I would hate to have to miss this new version so any feedback you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
