Star Tours – The Adventures Continue is the original Star Wars ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, tucked into the Echo Lake area beneath a giant AT-AT walker. You board a Starspeeder 1000 with C-3PO at the controls, and things go sideways fast. Because the ride shuffles its planets, villains and messages, you could ride several times and see a different combination each time.

What the ride is like
Your trip starts with an escape from the Empire or the First Order, then leaps to two different planets drawn from across the Star Wars saga, which might include Tatooine, Hoth, Naboo or Crait, along with a message from a hero like Leia or Yoda. The simulator bucks, drops and banks in sync with the 3D screen.
Tips
- Ride more than once. With so many combinations, repeat rides really are different.
- Sit up front for less motion, or near the back for a wilder ride.
- Head to Galaxy’s Edge next. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance and Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run are across the park.
