Star Tours Backstage 

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.

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.

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

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

This wasn't done by a cast member. If you go on a tour of the park, they show you this. This is the VIP viewing area of the ride. I've been there myself. The windows are hidden behind black curtains. :)

I heard that the simulators movements were done by a person with a joystick when the ride first arrived but I can not confirm this. by now I'm sure that they have computers that are programed to do the movements.

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

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

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

Thank you so much for posting this video!

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!

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

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

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.

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

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

I love how you made it all creepy.

They tilt the cabin back to simulate the feeling of speed

Wow! I've always wanted to see that!

That was pretty cool. Thanks

I still don't get how they produce the "light speed" feeling on the ride??? I feel like watching THE MATRIX now!!! lol

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? :)

this is awesome

It's a trip!

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

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

Very cool!

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

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

Wow, that's awesome!

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.

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

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

calm down buddy, it is a theme park ride set

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

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

wooow, nice!

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

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

They just tip you backwards...

That makes me die a little inside... Its crazy its just a... box. Lol.

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

0:20 What Is That

fired, sure (assuming they could identify who the cast member was). Though a lawsuit is highly doubtful disney avoids anything that could cause excess negative publicity (excluding the existence of that California adventures).

No prob buddy!

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

I'm in that video!!

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

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

Should have used the John Williams Star Wars Theme Music instead

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

How'd you gain access backstage? O_o

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

It's a trap!

流石に日本人はおらんよな

a cast member who abuses his job, had you done this in america and posted on youtube, management would have sued you and won
