Board an intergalactic simulator for a turbulent trip through outer space. With an absent-minded droid in the cockpit, you're in for warp-speed near-misses, collisions with comets and high-flying excitement - not to mention a wrong turn into a combat zone, right into the path of the Death Star.

Star Tours is a motion simulator ride based on the successful Star Wars movies, created by George Lucas. This made it the first of the park's attractions that did not use Disney designed imagery.

DIBB Bits:

• In the Disney-MGM Studios version of the ride, there is a giant Imperial Walker outside the entrance, watch out it will spray the crowd with water.
• On the PA system in the waiting area, a voice says, "Mr. Egroeg Sacul, Mr. Egroeg Sacul." The name is "George Lucas" spelled backwards.
• The baskets of parts in the Droidnostics Center in the queue for Star Tours at Disneyland and Disney-MGM Studios have hidden initials and birth dates of WDI and ILM team members who worked on the attraction.
• The StarSpeeder 3000 has several blast marks, one of which appears to resemble a Hidden Mickey.
