  • I love this version of the ride, and I miss it!! The new one was pretty fun, but I think they should have included this as one of the ride options...

  • When was this filmed? And were u in CA? Yesterday I went to the one in CA with my cousins and it was AWESOME!!! Every time u go on it it's different!!! There are 54 combinations of ride stuffs!!!

  • ah, i'm gonna miss this one...oh, and if anyone cares, RANDOM FACT!!!!!:

    the voice for "rex" (or, officially, RX-42) the pilot, is that of Paul Rebens, AKA, Pee-Wee Herman XD

    pretty weird, huh?

  • Is this ride still at MGM? Haven't been in so long I'd love to know it's still there.

  • @EternalDarkness316 The new version is at MGM too, I believe.

  • IM SO LUCKY I WENT HERE JUST BEFORE THEY STARTED THE CHANGE. The last time I went there was Aug. 2010 in Florida.

  • I love the old one so much... but the new one is awesome! My mom likes 3po better as a pilot...

    BUT I MISS THE OLD GUY DX

  • UHMM.... GUYS.... STAR TOURS IS NEW IN DISNEYWORLD!! ITS AMAZING!! i went there a few months ago;)

  • is that lady with the weird hair still there? was she there on grand opening?

  • @rextony22 She's not there anymore, but that has no bearing on how the new version is; it was GREAT!

  • Is this still in Disney Paris because I have the new brochure for it and it says nothing about changes

  • @rescuehero942 the old ride may be gone but 54 different flight await in the new one!

  • i have been on that ride and it kicks ass

  • @thebillybobjoe360 WELL THE NEW ONE KICKS EVEN MORE ASS

  • Very nice video. Made me feel like I was there. When your standing in line and being rushed, you don't always get to see or hear everything. Videos like this are helpful.

  • I miss this ride

    Also RIP Ru42

  • @Hottelio120 - um, I'm not dead yet. LOL. Just the way you wrote it makes it sound like RU42 is RIP and not the ride.

  • @ru42 I thought your dead cause you dont make vid

    Sorry

  • ugh. i wanted to ride this next time but my dad said that the only reason we r going NOW is that there is a new star tours... blegh.

  • IM GONNA MISS THAT LADY WITH THE WEIRD HAIR D:

  • i want to cry!!! this has been my favorite ride since i was little!

  • At first, i was really nervous to go on this, but after the rise was over, i thought "Again! Again!" I loved light speed, i can take it anyday. =D

  • I went yesterday it AWESOME

  • I'm going on the 25, I won too.

  • YES!!!! im going to ride this on friday :)...i won a golden ticket :)

  • they should've that starspeeder model in the terminal to me

  • They are not changing it at all they are just putting more on to the ride

  • The ride isn't quite "coming back;" it's going to be basically an entirely different experience with over 50 different storylines, in 3D, taking place in a different time period (between the 2 sets of movies). The Star Tours here is gone forever, but there will be a very different replacement with the same theme.

  • i love how the voice of rex the robot is peewee herman XD

  • FOR ALL WHO SAY ITS CLOSED, ITS NOT, THEY ARE RENOVATEING IT, AND IT WILL BE BETTER, WHO KNOWS IT MAY EVEN HAVE SOME THINGS FROM THE NEW MOVIES AS WELL

  • 05:53 - its a trap!

  • WHY ARE THEY CHANGING THIS RIDE?!?!? it's so great the way it is!!!

  • Star Tours real have a new concept . 3D ride to Tatorie for the Pod Races and to Corestat . Both opens in May 2011 . Check it out .

  • That's not comets. Star Tours just wiped out a bunch of kryptonians out for a sunday drive. Oh the humanity!

    Or whatever.

  • @sumbuddyx Supposedly the comets are a throwback to the Adventure thru Inner Space attraction that occupied that space before Star Tours. Also, in the maintenance bay, look for the Mighty Microscope from the same attraction jutting out from behind a control room.

  • @AdrenalineAddict610 lol no they represent the destruction of alderan, sorry im a huge starwars fanatic lol

  • @pvtread I just mentioned ATIS because the giant ice crystals looked like the snowflakes from ATIS.

  • @AdrenalineAddict610 ahh, well i ment no rudeness by my comment lol

  • I wonder what the new one will look like.

  • at 8:48 there is a face in the ice. Star Wars happens a long time ago, but this is in tomorrowland. FAIL!

  • at 8:48 there is a face in the ice

  • skip to 7:15

  • Love this ride so much, hope Star Tours 2 is just as good!

  • state of the art, bitches!

  • thats so sad i loved that ride

  • @premiumprime1998 Me,too! They're renovating it. It will re open Summer 2011.

  • @DCFilmsStudio i also heard that it will have 54 experienses

  • Wait, no smoking at anytime? That info video have been made when smoking was recently outlawed in USA. I think by now if you're an American citizen, it's pretty much common sense. And ya, who needs actual cameras when we got phones with cameras.

  • It's about time we got a new Star Wars ride, I have been waiting 22 years. God, it just seem so outdated in the 2000 decade.

    I hope it will be on HD screens this time. And the pilot actually goes to the destination and not miss it.

  • @ru42 I guess you weren't able to ride this one as many times to do your usual great job at editing everything. Its tough with the line pushing you to move, but thanks for the peek. I'm going to miss this ride. Unfortunately video can't catch the action you feel moving in your seat.

  • If I were to join the air force and attempt to pull these shenanigans as a pilot, I would be crucified upon returning to base.

  • I'm sure gonna miss this ride too. There's a new one opening within the next few months, but it's not gonna be as good.

  • @Xwingpilot you're probably right... nothing can top this one, i didnt even know they had gotten rid of it ;o/

  • I get tingles just watching the doors open up to board, just like the first time I rode it on my seventh birthday back in '89...I'm going to miss hearing "This is Captain Rex from the cockpit."

  • hopfully the new one is just as epic as this one was, and it doesnt turn out to be a dissapoitment

  • @MonorailVideos Good i love that ride

  • good thing you got this because now its closed...:(

  • You know how Disney is; they NEVER let us down; I bet this new one will be spectacular. Nevertheless, I'm going to miss the old one very much.

  • i will miss this ride

  • Comment removed

  • going on this ride is like being in a time warp and most people say it needs updated but when its gone we will miss it. Its simply the truth.

  • STAR TOURS WILL CLOSE IN 2010 AND REOPEN IN 2011 AS STAR TOURS II

  • they are making a new story/video for it. I hope i get to go next years becuz they re open in 2011

  • All of RU's vids are outstanding! Anyway, it's a damn shame they're "updating" this ride. It's a travesty to say the least. I loved these classic FX. They looked so real. But now they're going to replacing it all with 100% CGI/3D which is just crap IMO. X(

  • The end of another Disneyland classic...January 9, 1987-July 27, 2010. And i was honored to have flown to and from endor 100+ times :)

  • EEEEE is is really closed? Dx

    This was the best thing EVER for an 8-year-old Star Wars fan I miss it so much.

  • it stinks that its now closed cause i might be going in oct. for my b day and it was one of my fav and it's really funny cause somtimes people would start crying cause of how scared they were o i'm gonna miss it

  • RIP, Star Tours 1...

  • As many times as i've been on this ride, I still feel like it's my first time, such a great ride. And when the new one comes out, i'm sure it'll be great as well. Also, word has it that there is going to be 3-5 different types of rides, one of course being that pod race one, and others being hoth and etc. Can't wait! :D

  • I sooooooooooooooooo wish I could go to D-Land today! But we have a block out day today. :( And I just heard that it will close tomorrow. DANG YOU DISNEY AND YOUR EXPENSIVE PRICES!!!!!!! I want to go on this ride one more time. When I heard it was closing tomorrow, I freaked out. My Parents thought I was silly, but they OBVIOUSLY do not know what the ride means to me! I'm glad you uploaded this for us. I am about to cry.

  • liars it aint closing

  • @Adelfia it is, today is the last day. im already at disneyland and the lines are huge

  • I think it's funny when you're on this ride with people who have never been on it before and they act all crazy and if you've been on it before like a million times and your just sitting there...being sarcastic....haha it's the best. How many first flights has this guy had anyways???? hahaha but this ride is awesome!! :) Going wednesday so stocked!

  • @littleninjachick *so stoked!

  • im going tomoro to ride it for the last time, tomoro is the last day too :(

  • I didn't even know about this ride closing until TimothyDeLaGhetto pointed it out. One of the rides I grew up on. I would have wanted to go back to Disneyland to ride this one last time but summers almost over...

  • I'm afraid the new Star Tours is not going to be nearly as good as this version. Like, what if it focuses more on the prequels, which have ruined Star Wars ever since they graced the theaters?

  • lol @ 5:57 that admiral ackbar guy is about to smack that kid

  • I'm saddened that the current Star Tours attraction will close on July 27, leaving behind the memories of myself there for a number of times (my last time was in '05). But as good news, it will return with Coruscant by next year so that the Star Wars theme would still remain. For those who haven't been on the ride yet or been there for a long time, watching this video is like experiencing the real thing. May the force be with us all.

  • when i went to disney CA there was somesort of (pretend)booking zone if only coruscant want full!!!!!!!!!!!

  • R. I. P. Star Tours January 9, 1987 - July 27, 2010

  • @rescuehero942 aww its closing!?

  • @BriiFromFMS

    Yup. July 26th is the last day to ride Star Tours at Disneyland. It will then be closed starting the next day.

    But the good news is that it will be updated and re-open in 2011.

  • @rescuehero942 , did they change thier minds when to close the ride.. I thought I had read  they were closeing the ride in Oct 2010...I must have read wrong ...oh well...it was a good ride , but can't wait to see the new one.

  • @rescuehero942 It will be revived as "Star Tours II" next year.

  • @rescuehero942

    amen:(

  • @rescuehero942 Star isn't there aymore.

  • @rescuehero942 Its not gone you dimwit...

  • @commentmutant this ride closed back in july, so its gone,, their rebuilding a new starwars ride now

  • @JOKAWILD26 I was telling him that the star wars ride wasnt gone completely like some are assuming.

  • @commentmutant Thats a disappointment. Your 1st statement gave me a bit of hope someone was wrong, but if they are changing Star Tours it's gone, unless they keep it elsewhere. I hated losing the Country Bear Jamborie. First they changed it twice, but they are never the same as the original. :(I'm sad to know it won't be there the next time I get to California:(I just hope the new one isn't a complete disappointment in comparison.Without the goofing robot pilot,how boring would a plain trip be?

  • @Miracle490d Did you know paul rubens (peewee herman) was the voice of the pilot? and i bet the new star tours will feel more realistic ride wise. but i hope its as badass as the original.

  • @Miracle490d well for that nestalgia feeling the tiki room is still there lol

  • @rescuehero942 actually they are "relaunching" Star Tours in 2011

  • @rescuehero942 Aw! It's NOT dead. Ms. Sawchuck and I loved this ride. It is ONLY closed for renovation. It will re open in summer 2011.

  • @rescuehero942 WHAT!>!>!>!:~>!<.sdbmflkasgdcn ldo;b;lgfc

    FUCK!

  • @rescuehero942 not r.i.p, its comeing back this summer, straight from a cms mouth

  • @rescuehero942 they took it off?

  • @savage642 no they are upgrading it... it will still be there but not till later this year

  • @savage642 the ride is coming back on june 3rd

  • @rescuehero942 until it was reborn in April, 2011

  • I can't believe that this ride is closing. I will really miss it. Next year in the Summer or Fall,Star Tours II will be in with better improvements.

  • I am so sad that they're changing this ride. It has always been one of my favorites at Disneyland. I'm also not too fond of the recent Star Wars movies :P

  • hope the new ride is cool.....cuz pod racing is gay

  • @mbenzsl2000 Don't worry, Tattoine is only one of the stops, I heard that it will also include a visit to crousant.

  • @coasterjudge now THAT would be awesome.....to ride through coruscant.....potential to be pretty amazing

  • 4:29- that used to be one of the America Sings audio-animotronics. It looks nothing like a goose now.5:03- hey another one.

  • I DONT WANT THEM TO CHANGE ANYTHING....IM GONNA MISS THE SOUND AT 01:15....TINILI SOUND....NO!!!!

  • @alhambramoors89 they still have it.

  • Star Tours at Disneyland closes on July 27th.

  • @DisMupPix010 Oh crap, really? I thought it closed in October!

  • @AdrenalineAddict610

    October was the original closure time, but I guess they decided that they would need more time to re-imagine the ride.

    So at Disneyland the last day that Star Tours will be opened will be July 26th.

    So be sure to get those last rides in! :-)

  • @DisMupPix010 It does? I'm sorry to hear that. I loved this ride. Ms. Sawchuck loved this ride,too.

  • @DisMupPix010 actually it closes on the 26th

  • Comment removed

  • 4:29 robot is like Johnny 5 and WALL-E.

  • people mover went through this ride

  • @stylistafashion The People Mover only went through the quere line... and the track for that ride is still there.

  • That's a very boring ride can't wait til the new star wars 2 opens next year

  • What is up with that lady's hair?????

  • @Davegreen32 It is supposed to look like Mickey Mouse's ears.

  • @Davegreen32 I don't know! It is supposed to look like Mickey Mouse.

  • I'll be riding this in four days! I can't wait!

  • Star Wars+Disney World is even better than Peanut Butter+Chocolate!

  • @Smoenator Wrong! Peanut butter and chocolate is BETTER than Star Wars and Disney!

  • Who is the lady that speaks at beginning about boarding information?

  • best thing in disney land.

    movie is great,disney is great so they form a good team

  • I wonder how many first flights he's had hmm.....(:

  • Fun Ride to ride at Disneyland ^ ^

  • 1:14

    IT"S A TRAP!!!!

    Sorry couldn't resist....

  • This is always a ride you absolutely have to go on at disneyland its a classic, fun ride!

  • It's funny how it's always the robots first flight:)

  • I used to like going on this ride as a kid but now I can't because I get motion sickness :(

    Still a great ride, though.

  • if theres gonna be a new star tours, then they really need to change the saftey video. its been there for years.

  • Yee-ha! Going back in 3 weeks! Can't wait!

  • I think the reason I love this is cause of paul reubans!

  • i went on at when i went hollywood studios on holiday

  • im so glad that im going 6 month before it closes i like the first on better than what star tours 2 looks like

  • They should come up with a star trek vershion on this with nonestop flights on a runabout to romulus and kronose

  • after star tours closes you should make a tribute vid.

  • @rwbarnes67 Star Tours is closing?!?!

  • @recruit97 Star Tours, is undergoing a remodel. They are going to update the 'film' that goes along with the motion simulation to coincide with the first Star Wars film (which would be the Phantom Menace, or something like that. Can't remember, I'm not a fan of the 'new' ones) It'll be a virtual pod race.

  • @davegrohlfan12 Thats stupid! The idea of space travel was cool.

  • @recruit97 I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, Disney does not. :/

  • @davegrohlfan12 It better be good... Like everyone in Star Wars always say, I have a bad feeling about this.

  • @recruit97

    Don't worry. The Star Tours travel agency will still exist and guests will still be riding in Star Speeders. :-)

  • @davegrohlfan12

    It will not just be a pod race. The Star Tours travel agency will still exist and guests will still be riding in Star Speeders. :-)

  • 8:19 - 8:53

    MAGNIFICATION....MAGNIFICATION­....

    I say that every time at that part.

  • star tours is a gd ride! i cnt wait 2 see wat star tours 2 is gonna offer

  • Trivia; the robots in the quene line (not C-3P0 and R2D2; the ones without any mouths) were . . . ah . . . "recycled" from the old America Sings show/attraction.

  • and others from America Sings were recycled for Splash Mountain......

  • Really? I thought Splash Mountain came before America Sings. Probably have my dates mixed up, though.

  • no, splash opened in 1989, america sings opened in 1974... and closed in 1988... all the crocs and birds on splash mountain were from america sings... i heard the robots from star tours will be reused for star tours 2

  • @Countjustinrowe 2 of the geese in America Sings were taken out of the America Sings attraction and used to make the long-necked robots in Star Tours.

  • I love this ride!!!!!!!!!!

  • looking forward to Star Tours 2.0!!

  • Man i love how disneyland and star wars are mixed together! its soo awesome!

  • favorite ride hands down

  • Always wanted to do this! Me too!

  • i dont remember the queue being that long (havent been since 02)

  • Interesting fact:

    Star Tours was originally planned to be based on the 1979 film The Black Hole, which guests would choose their own car route. However, due to the negative reception of the film and ginourmus costs for the ride, plans were shelved. Disney later made plans with George Lucas for a somewhat less expensive attraction based on much more popular material.

    Who knows what how Star Tours would have looked like if the Black Hole plans weren`t shelved.

  • That's interesting the Black Hole uh? I remember a similar ride that sort of resembled a black hole theme ride back in the day.

  • this is true if you want a good disneyland histor vdeo find : walt disney treasures- Disneyland secrects, stories & Magic. It will be pricy when you find it (limited to 50,000 copies. but very very worth the price I still watch it all the time.

  • new star tour will take over this october verry soon

  • really?

  • the lady at 5:25 has a hilarious hairdo!!!! me and my brother were trying to check it for a 'hidden mickey' haha!! XD

  • Here's the Mickey: In the loading video, an Ewok is holding a plush Mickey.

  • Ohhhhhhhhhhhh ok I see it. Thanks!! We were searching that lady's hair the whole video!! haha

  • I've about to captured this classic version of this ride, on my Westgate DVDs camera in Monday 2009. During my mother's birthday, and Ithen Disney's Califronia Adventure at Wednesday. Then return back home at San Diego, California on Thursday. And it was my only hope to catch the 1987 Star Wars ride on my camera, before closed on 2010 for the making of the Star Tours II in 2011!

  • im going to miss this classic version of this ride, but will be interested to see what they bring us..

  • Great video! Gotta go back to Disneyland! This is the best ride ever!

  • I went to Disneyland yesterday it was so fun this was one of the best rides

  • man am i homesick right now

  • hello, nofx fan

  • HI recognizer of NOFX fans!!

  • 3PO and R2 are doing this right now as I watch this video
