Star Tours VS Body Wars : Which do YOU think is better?

[MeTa]

Star Tours hands down. Time for an update but still damn good. Especially since ______-Wee is heard on the ride.:hammer:

Star Tours was awesome back in the early 90s. Sadly, the thrill of the ride has worn off.

Does anyone know whether they toned down the motion of the simulator, or perhaps turned down the sound? Somehow, the ride feels like an old tired version of its former self.

Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy. (I'm 29)

Body Wars was *never* a fun ride for me.

I hate Body Wars. I went in that ride with a slight headache, when I came out I had a migraine. The jerking was way too much, I had my eyes closed almost the whole time because of it making me feel sick. Never again

With the possibility of the Wonders Of Life pavilion opening up for the holidays.. it makes me wonder about Body Wars. I remember it as being basically the same exact ride as Star Tours.

And people say we can't have two Omnimovers like Dinosaur and IJ at WDW. Worked fine with Body Wars and Star Tours!

Star Tours by far! Body Wars was really lame and jerky!

Star Tours is better themed and a better slightly better story...but their the same ride I swear...I think they have the same simulator program.

Though...how can you not love Dr. Lair?

:slurp:

I believe you forgot the older guy who played Vice Principal Woodman in the show "Welcome back, Kotter."

My personal vote is for Star Tours. I think it's much better.

But when I then rode star tours.. it didnt fit for me as well because the ride vehicle didnt look like anything from star wars that I ever saw.

I think the starspeeder looked just like a vehicle from Star Wars would. The crafts from the original trilogy and the new trilogy all look distinctively different. They still look Star Warsian enough to satisfy most.

I love Star Tours. I was raised on Star Wars, and this ride was (and still is) my absolute favorite.

My first trip to WDW (I was 5) I got very motion sick on Body Wars, and refused to get on it again. The film to it was far too fluid, and had too much fluid - the visuals were too overwhelming, and I don't get motion sick. That same trip, my Dad and I set our personal record for riding Star Tours 13 times in a row - MGM was very empty that day.

The next time I did ride Body Wars, I was something like 15, and I closed my eyes and cowered the entire time.
