Readers' rating:
This ride should be on your 'to do' list. This rides allows you to take a trip through the Star Wars Universe. The queue is wel thought out and makes people think they are in a real Space Port. Also you might meet your favorite Star Wars caracters like C3PO and R2D2. The ride is a flight simulator which simulates the motion on the screen. The entire ride is controlled by an 'inexperienced' droid. Only disadvantage this ride is syncronised in French so some of the jokes might be lost on you. During high season this ride will have long queue times. During those days use the fast pass or if you are staying in one of the Resort hotels you can visit the ride before opening hours (magic hours) - Ty Wijnans The queue was very long for this when we went on (70 mins), but the queue brings you through what seems to be a spaceship repair shop where a C3PO-type and R2D2 type robot are working together on a ship, and are overseen by those big-eyed aliens. The ride itself is good enough. You are looking at a screen which depicts you taking off from a space station and flying around space, even getting involved in some space battles (including the one where they blow up the death star). The ship itself moves back and forth and around and shakes to make it feel like you really are moving and accelerating and flying around dodging enemy lasers and stuff. However the screen could have been bigger and the rest of the area could have been darker to make it more immersive. Maybe even have it in 3-D. - Colm de Cleir More attraction and restaurant ratings:
