| You must be 40" to
ride. Star Tours is a flight simulator style
attraction. People
susceptible
to motion sickness may experience discomfort
on this ride. It’s tamer than Body Wars
was (another simulator style attraction in Epcot
that is no longer open), and definitely a lot
tamer than Mission: Space. You will get bounced
around and jolted as your shuttle rocks back
and forth, if you have back problems or other
medical conditions you’ll want to be extra
cautious. |

 |
| This is a FastPass
attraction, though you can usually ride early
in the day without much of a wait. If lines are
longer than 20 minutes then consider using FastPass. |

|
 |
| Many people find
the seats towards the rear to be a bit rougher
than those in the front. If you’d like
to be seated accordingly (based on your preference),
just ask a cast member. They’ll be happy
to honor your request. |
|
|
|
| At the conclusion
of the ride, you’ll exit into a large gift
shop filled with all sorts of Star Wars memorabilia
(including some rare items). It’s a must
visit for any Star Wars fan (you can visit the
gift shop without riding). |

Have you always dreamed
of becoming a Jedi? Now's your chance! You
can take on the fearsome Dark Lord of the Sith
at the
Jedi Training Academy.
During scheduled performances throughout the day,
young Padawan hopefuls can line up in front of
the stage to the left of the entrance to Star Tours.
If the force is with you, a wise Jedi master will
select you to participate in the show (it helps
to be VERY enthusiastic!!). He will then show you
some basic light saber moves (don't worry, the
ones you'll be provided with are the training kind,
no worries of accidentally lopping off a fellow
trainee's hands!). After you've mastered the basics,
Darth Vader himself appears, flanked by a pair
of stormtroopers! His mission? To turn you to the
Dark Side of course. One by one you'll square off
against the Dark Lord, clashing light sabers and
ducking his swings (it's all very carefully choreographed
so don't fret). Vader will ocassionally offers
his own words of "encouragement" ("Impressive", "All
too easy..."), and taunt the audience with
his powerful force choke. In the end, the force
ghost of Yoda will tell Vader that his efforts
have been futile, and the younglings are now full-fledged
Padawans, ready to embrace the force and become
true Jedi. Defeated, Darth Vader dejectedly marches
away, leaving his stormtroopers behind for a hilarious
exit.
The Jedi Training Academy has regular shows throughout the day, be sure to check
the posted schedule (wannabee pirates can also clash swords with Jack Sparrow
in a similar show at the Pirates
of the Caribbean!). |
