Star Wars in Disney Parks!

Your attention please for the following gate announcements. Welcome to the Star Tours Tomorrowland Spaceport!

Okay, so not ACTUALLY the Tomorrowland Spaceport. But, in this episode we discuss the history of Star Wars in the parks leading up to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge – mainly, the history of Star Tours!

Did you know that Star Tours was almost a motion simulator attraction for the 1979 Disney film, THE BLACK HOLE

Imagine!

And get a load of this amazing “Lightsaber” ribbon cutting ceremony!

And between the original Star Tours and “The Adventures Continue,” David created this little piece together for fun as excitement for the new attraction grew:

Here’s some extra info on “Star Trek: The Experience” that was in Vegas from 1998 to 2008. IT WAS SO AWESOME!

Don’t forget that you can make reservations to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge starting on May 2nd at Disneyland.com!
