Star Tours II - Ride reviews

[RandySavage]

There are 11 total segments split into 4 show parts. Part 1 has a choice of 2 segments with parts 2, 3, and 4 each having 3 segment choices, each one chosen randomly by a computer, resulting in 54 total ride combinations.

Thank you. And for clarification (and feel free to put in spoiler text), what exactly are each of those segments? (eg):

Part I: (name)
A.
B.

Part II:
A.
B.
C.

Part III:
A.
B.
C.
etc.

Great to see so many glowing reviews.

Lucky me, I was there last week and had to leave Friday. This sounds epic. Now do Star Wars Village!

quick question for those who have ridden: everyone says the glasses are very sleek and fitting, almost like Oakleys. how will this affect people who wear glasses?

The 3D glasses fit fine over my glasses. Had no problems with them staying on

I just rode Star Tours (DLR) today and it was amazing!
The film quality was great and the 3D was well done.
Much better than the original!
:sohappy:

First off, I can't even tell you how excited I am about ST2!! Especially after reading some of the positive reviews!!

However I have a question concerning the ride. A few people have stated that the entire ride including the pre-show are entirely in CG. Just to get it straight, every character including vader, boba fett and lei are 100% CGI? I remember hearing rumors about how Lucas was shooting several live action scenes for ST2 several months back and remember seeing some on location shots with what appeared to be some of the pre-show and they included live action actors.

If the entire attraction does in fact only include CGI, how does it hold up? Is it over the top cartoony or is it modern lifelike CGI?

Thanks!

There are live actors in at least one of the segments on the ride, also in the pre-boarding and onboard safety video.

11. Cool. Thanks.

This means the average rider can expect to have seen all segments after 8 rides.

^ not necessarily, since its like a slot machine.

I was able to get all six planets in the first three trips. All three holograms in four trips. It took seven trips, though, to not get the Darth Vader opening.

 

[juan]

just a note:

while the seats have been re-upholstered, the seats and belts are still the originals.

 

[JordanNite]

Don't hold high hopes for this at all ... it's still essentially the same ride and motions, but with a 3D tv upfront instead and a new movie.

The original was out of date, and i don't hold up much hope this one.

Quick question and I appreciate a non-spoiler answer if possible:

Does Yoda make an appearance(voice/character) in every ride, or does he hit the cutting room floor on certain versions? My biggest fear is riding the attraction and not seeing or hearing from the little green guy!

Be there May 26th before the Ed Kowalczyk(LIVE) concert at the Hard Rock Hotel in Universal!

Yoda does not appear every time. You are just going to have to keep riding until you see him!

Excuse my SPOILER question...

I don't want anyone to accidentally read a
SPOILER
If they don't want to...

Is the non-Vader opening where Boba Fett appears?

That really sucks. I think that hurts the ride more than helps it. I'm much less excited for the attraction now.

 

[JohnnyDollaz89]

Im gonna try and ride it as many times as i can in July so i can try and get as many possibilities as possible

 

[MightyGitis]

I see the negativity has already started. Joy.

I see the negativity has already started. Joy.

Certain characters should be on every ride(especially Yoda and Vader). You can change what they say, but they should be constant. The fact that Disney/Lucas screwed that simple point up, is really saddening.

You might want to wait until you ride it. :shrug:

Agreed. But it should take riders, on average, 8 trips to see all the segments.

If you're very very unlucky you could get the same four segments every time and never see the other seven. Not likely.
