Star Tours Backstage

[meowspots]

this is awesome

[MRawesome689]

that starspeeder is fake

[mrtracto2]

@iFishy1 IDC (I Don't Care) about lil kids dreams. Ok? yes, I am happy! :)

[JamesFlipper77]

@iFishy1 I been known that it was just a motion simulator and I thought I was riding in a EXTACT replica of the Starspeeder. But I was close.

[WDI2008]

Should have used the John Williams Star Wars Theme Music instead

[MrTallDaddy]

Watch the video "World's Craziest Disney World Audition!!!!!" It's hilarious!!!! This crazy guy tries out for gaston!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[collector1970]

I think in episode two...When Padme and Anakin is going to Naboo...They actually take one of these to the Palace after they land.

[12161euclid]

that ride is scarier from the outside!!

[MarioSchuurmans]

I'm in that video!!

[powerpup97]

Wow!  I've always wanted to see that!

[ELHAYDO1]

when i was there CP3O waz siver but with a gold left leg with the price tag on LOL wot a dumbass!

[sideslide23]

another reason that the Star speeder 3000 isn't real because the exterrior hardware is plastic not metal if it was metal it would be Titanium Alloid like on the commercial planes and space shuttle. plastic star speeder.

[neoimean7]

this aint backstage....?

[BarneySaysHi]

Wow, that's awesome!

[TheBrickfan1]

how did you get this?

[707tinman707]

no this isnt star tours. it cant be. i really was in space. this is a lie.

[omgwhatafag]

@707tinman707

we know...you where in the ocean |3

[mrtracto2]

@707tinman707 ur not really in space, it's a projecter in the box that makes the motions while on the ride.

so this is true, not a lie

[TheMLVideos]

@mrtracto2 the guy was kidding, smart one.

[ttztotdca50]

OMGosh that's so cool!!!!

[ROSE911GUNDAM]

how where you able to take video like that? did you work there?

[sideslide23]

the outside of it is all fiberglass and plastic instead of metal.

[kaijusaurusrex]

what?!? The Starspeeder 3000 is just a box!?

[coasterjudge]

Well, that explains, all the detail on the outside.

[coasterjudge]

@kaijusaurusrex I'm stunned to! With so little light it loks like the real thing. Now that's forced perspective!

[Angie2343]

@kaijusaurusrex Yes, sadly. It's just a box.

[AVGNnostalgiazilla00]

I think it's funny that the way this video is made, you would think that the ride is destroying itself.

[GeneralVariety]

@AVGNnostalgiazilla00 ahaha!!! That's exactly what I was thinking!!! :D

[skaterboirocker]

So its just a painting on the side of an ordinary simulator? I knew something about it looked strange when I was a kid

[naogliftride45]

i noticed that last year the like 50'th time i went! lol

[CorrollaS]

why are they putting matrix music in a startours video that's so cheesy

[ImageAnt]

should more likley be Starwars DUH xP

[Sugarali33]

love this ride has to be in my fave list at disneyland paris :)

I especialy love the bit where you shoot threw a tunnel of stars and it feels like your BOOMING ! into space

[Edge96937]

im not sure if u know but its called light speed

[CorrollaS]

dude this ride is like so 80's it's time to update

[Sugarali33]

I dont think so i want it to stay there forever, if they need to update they can buy some land and build on that ... trust me they have enough money.

[sideslide23]

@CorrollaS there going to updated it in 2011, so when you go on your next Star Tour flight, your going to Tatooween instead of fighting the deathstar.

[sideslide23]

I must sit on top of that moving box.

[sideslide23]

when Star Tour II comes in 2011, this box will have better look than this cheese style and 3D view.

[MrBdobb]

But Star Tours II is only coming to California and Florida. No plans for Paris or Tokyo

[sideslide23]

well if they want Star Tours II, theyn Tokyo should deliver us the Shinkansen N700 and Paris should deliver us the TGV and then, we'll deliver Star Tours II.

[sideslide23]

thats a ugly Moving box with a draw bridge that drops down to unload the people off the moving box ha ha.

[DoomTay]

The Matrix music makes the whole "this isn't real" thing a bit...scarier. Especially sience the vid is somewhat synced to it.

[DoomTay]

Is that where the real entry doors are?

I never realized the ride...box..thing looked like that.

[disneyfreak288]

This is amazing!! If you ride on Corkscrew Hill in Busch Gardens Europe (Williamsburg, VA), it has the same system. On that ride, though, there was no roof, so you could exit and entrance being lowered and the motion of the vehicle compared to the room. Again, very cool vid!

[onewheeled999]

I've always wondered how much it moved, this is really surprising...

[skaterboirocker]

Haha I never noticed how cheesey the vehicles look

[mypupyfonzie]

last year in agust i rode that ride i came out screaming and dizzy my little bro was all happy and agin again!! my dad told me were still at disneyland we never left were in the same spot lol i was 13 years old

[strublay]

Thank you so much for posting this video!

[manovleedz]

I shat myself(not physically =P) on this ride when i was like 6

[bruunobanaani]

I went on it in japan, you see the whole machine and its not a box, its under a glass and you can se it.

[meleeinrsowns]

thats exactly how i thought it would look like :D

[Dragonrider1227]

NOOOOO! DISNEY IS BUILT ON LIES!!!

[tyranidsarethebest]

LOL

[magiclz]

Ive seen these before. Wild artic at sea world has the same system. You can tell the ship is fake if you look.

[Camzml]

thanks for this vid!

do you know how it made us feel the speed?

[magiclz]

They tilt the cabin back to simulate the feeling of speed

[SONICSATAMJAMER77]

I was so close thinking about what it looked like outside the vechial. At first I thought the ride outside was a repilca of the Starspeeder3000 but it turns out to be a Motion box with a painted Starspeeder3000. Well it was awsome to see how the work it :-)

[bttfspencer]

calm down buddy, it is a theme park ride set

[rackas321]

Um it's a ride not a plane that's gonna fly into the sun. Duh.

[petsandpets]

:0 i knew that it was a simulator, but i always wondered if the simulator goes upside down because you twist and spin! i also wondered how the heck is there an exit without it getting hit by the simulator!!

[sammah1]

I love the music from the matrix btw.. =P

good footage

[solids0529]

all the time i went in that ride i always wonder how the ride actually function

[NikkiDancesOnGraves]

That makes me die a little inside...

Its crazy its just a... box.

Lol.

[groovdafied]

Wow...kinda scary looking to see small looking hydrolics holding up such a s huge and heavy simulator box... Kinda makes you think it may break or something....

[commentmutant]

lol..

[DoomTay]

Especially since the box is practically SUSPENDED ABOVE the ground by said hydraulics just reinforces that "it's gonna break" feeling. Wonder what would happen if it does snap.

[woutercerneels]

No prob buddy!

[d2tb]

lol...step away from the computer, go outside, and take a deep breath ;)

[akroyd]

i know commentmutant, it ISN'T actually a giant space fight?! I was pissed TOO!!!!

[commentmutant]

i thought i was in space =(

[jadedoom]

lol

[Philmen]

@commentmutant Ruining what ? You really thought you were in deep space ?!

[AwsomeFan2010]

@commentmutant SHIT!

[DarthSatoris]

LOL, this must be old, because we don't go into a box with a cruiser painted on anymore. We walk into a "Real" cruiser, with the correct shape.

[Lyght55]

Haha, that's what I actually thought until I was probably 12 or 13. The paint is pretty convincing.

[newe6000]

ITS A BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHEN I RODE IT I WAS SO DAM CONVINCED IT WAS IN THE SHAPE OF A SPACE SHIP BUT A BOX!!!

THATS LONNYTOONS PAINT!!!! ITS TO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!

When I Rode It I Thought It Was A Cruiser And I Even Toutched It And It Felt Plasticy Like A Cruiser

[coolmccool5]

It's also the illusion created by flourecient (spell?) paint when lit by strategicly placed blacklights.

[DoomTay]

I thought the box was inside the huge model thingy in the queue. The one that R2 bounces up and down inside.

[JeffreyBeanJr]

That was cool.

[d2tb]

I still don't get how they produce the "light speed" feeling on the ride???

I feel like watching THE MATRIX now!!! lol

[DarthSatoris]

They just tip you backwards...

[chrisaclark]

that's really cool to see the ride from the outside.

but... um... why did they use music from the Matrix for this video montage? how about music from, maybe, i don't know, STAR WARS? :)

[woutercerneels]

Because I feel there is already an overkill in Star Wars/John Williams music, so I wanted something different! :)

[dtwhitney]

@woutercerneels Yeah, but could you pick something that doesn't sound so creepy and hair-raising?

[LoveStallion]

@chrisaclark Because George Lucas is an a** and you know he'd have the sound pulled.

[XDstarfoster27XD]

u.u!

[RyanFresh]

When I was four, I actually thought we would exit the building and fly very fast outta space. Wow and duh, evidence that this is only a simulation ride.

[kevkev44]

How'd you gain access backstage? O_o

[woutercerneels]

You can go on a guided tour. This is sadly the only time you go backstage during the (three hour) tour.

[kevkev44]

Very cool! I didn't even know. And they let you videotape it?

[sheeselectric]

cool

[sheeselectric]

hey you up there i beleiv i can answer the lite speed quesjon it lifts up so you get tipt back into the seat. some one feel free tosay that i spelt quesjon rong

[MANEATINGWREATH]

I love how you made it all creepy.

[socloseno]

lol in the begin it so like over dramatic, reminds me of south park

[Harikou]

I always /wondered/ how it looked from the outside. I knew it was obviously a simulator (some people think it's a roller coaster....), but I wasn't sure if the floor below dropped like in Mission Space or if the StarSpeeder was already high up, and I wasn't sure how it was shaped. It's also cool to see the loading/unloading ramps fold down! Totally didn't know they did that! The StarSpeeder facade is kinda cheesy though... It's just painted onto a generic simulator box thing.

[KerriCP]

M.I.S. is like the gravitron...spins reaaaally fast :P

[Crewwstube]

MATRIX????? STARWARS?????? DISNEY!!!!????? It sounds like a kickass movie.

[liessse]

wooow, nice!

[bladefilms]

Can someone explain how they simulate it going fast. This explains it moving from side to side, what about when it goes atraight.

[woutercerneels]

The cabin just tilts backwards,like it does on 0:55.

[Pepjune]

That was so obvious. They use hydrolics. WHOA! i never knew the platform was like that though.........

[arandomperson240]

hydrolics or more likely pnumatics

[EvolutionRider88]

It's a hydraulic system that operates on a computer controlled ride system.

[rollercoastersrock]

ver cool. i never knew that the exit platform came down like that

[1324TN]

As same as me I thought it was shape like the tour ship itself, not a shape as a box simulator. The way it move you can really feel all that emotion.

[newe6000]

I Know Same Here It Fooled Me So Bad, Also When Your On The Ride When You Look Down Its Just Black! So You Cant See Its A Simulation And It COuld Of Folled Me Only I Know Stuff Like This Isnt Real In Real Life

[TheFabsLV]

Very cool!

[ziggyame]

wow i never knew it was just a pic of the star speeder 3000 that is amazing effect they pull off must be all the black lights illuminting the colours off the pic making it look so 3d like!

[djgilleke]

wtf... it's just a big poster on a simulator... i always thought the design was like the poster...

[772pilot]

wow, all this time I thought the motion-box was actually the design of a Starspeeder 3000. Turns out it was just painted!

[IpokedHitler]

wow WDW has a completely different ride setup than DLAND in CA... the entrance and exit platforms raise to the ceiling during flights.

[musicman2008]

The platforms at WDW do the same thing that you saw in the movie. They pivot up like a draw bridge.

[AFBoi]

That was pretty cool. Thanks

[electricalparade]

Thank you for sharing this with us! I have always wanted to see that!
