Star Tours: The Adventures Continue at Disneyland Paris — What You Need to Know (and Cast Member Tips!)

Star Wars fans visiting Disneyland Paris have a thrilling intergalactic experience waiting for them: Star Tours: The Adventures Continue, a 3D motion simulator ride that takes guests on unpredictable journeys across the galaxy. Here’s everything you need to know before you board your Starspeeder 1000 — plus insider tips from Disneyland Paris cast members to make your ride even better.

A Galaxy of Possibilities — Ride Overview

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is a Star Wars–themed 3D motion simulator located in Discoveryland at Disneyland Park Paris. It’s the updated version of the classic Star Tours attraction, originally opened in 1992 and replaced by the new simulator experience on March 26, 2017, as part of the park’s 25th anniversary celebrations.

The attraction puts guests inside a Starspeeder 1000 vessel — piloted by familiar droids like C-3PO and R2-D2 — for a flight full of twists, turns, and unexpected planetary destinations. Unlike the original ride, The Adventures Continue draws from across the entire Star Wars saga, including prequels, original trilogy, sequels, and canon content, providing a wildly varied experience on every visit.

Thrilling Variety with Randomized Missions

One of the standout features of Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is its randomized mission system. Instead of a single fixed ride sequence, the simulator blends multiple segments into each flight. Riders may experience different combinations of planets, battles, and storyline moments each time they board — meaning no two flights are exactly alike.

This variety makes the attraction extremely replayable for visitors, whether you’re a first-timer or a seasoned Star Wars fan.

What to Expect Inside the Ride

Before boarding, guests enter a themed queue area filled with Star Wars atmosphere, complete with subtle story details. Once in the Starspeeder 1000 simulator, the adventure launches with a sudden departure that sends you hurtling through the galaxy. The combination of 3D visuals, motion simulator effects, and sound immerses riders in a convincing spaceflight — and the simulator’s movement tricks your senses into feeling real motion.

During the experience, you might find yourself:

• Escaping Imperial or First Order pursuit
• Visiting planets from different Star Wars eras
• Encountering iconic characters in unexpected sequences
• Helping deliver a Rebel spy to safety

At under five minutes per flight, it’s a fast-paced and exciting attraction that appeals to a wide range of guests — from kids to hardcore Star Wars fans.

Characters and New Content

Disney Parks around the world have periodically updated Star Tours with new scenes and characters inspired by modern Star Wars media. At Disneyland Paris, some seasonal updates and themed variations have begun to include characters like Ahsoka Tano, Cassian Andor, The Mandalorian, and even Grogu in specific mission variations, based on fan reports and announcements from other parks.

That means your ride could take you through worlds and stories influenced by the expanded Star Wars universe, including Disney+ series beloved by fans.

Cast Member Tips for First-Time Riders

According to insights previously shared by Disneyland Paris cast members (as referenced in fan news tips), here are some helpful suggestions to get the most out of your Star Tours experience:

• Ride early or late in the day: Lines can form quickly during peak park hours, so early morning or evening visits often offer shorter waits.
• Look out for randomized missions: Each ride is designed to feel new and exciting — the same flight sequence rarely repeats.
• Height requirement: Guests must be at least about 1.02 meters tall (around 40 inches) to ride.
• Motion sensitivity: The simulator motion can make some riders feel uneasy; if you’re sensitive to motion sickness, consider riding after you’ve prepared accordingly.
• Stay observant in the queue: Disney Imagineering packs the pre-show and waiting area with lore references and Star Wars easter eggs that enhance the story experience.

Planning Your Visit

Star Tours: The Adventures Continue is one of Disneyland Paris’ core attractions for Star Wars enthusiasts and general visitors alike. It sits alongside other themed experiences like Hyperspace Mountain and more thrill rides in Discoveryland.

FastPass-style options (like Disney Premier Access) are often available — giving guests the opportunity to reserve quicker entry if the line is long. Being familiar with park maps and schedules helps you fit this attraction into your day while also exploring nearby shows and immersive areas.

Why Star Tours Remains a Must-Ride for Star Wars Fans

Star Tours endures because it blends the thrilling spectacle of Star Wars action with enough unpredictability to make repeat rides feel fresh. With over 60+ potential mission combinations and multiple character appearances depending on ride variation, it’s a ride that rewards re-riding and close attention.

Whether you’re dodging TIE fighters or hyperspeeding to distant planets, the experience captures the spirit of Star Wars adventure in a way uniquely suited to a theme park setting.
