Mark your calendars, “Star Wars” fans. Disney has announced opening dates for the new Star Tours attraction. Star Tours: The Adventures Continue will open May 20, 2011, at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida, and June 3, 2011, at Disneyland in Anaheim.
In production since 2005, the Star Tours revamp will feature high-definition video in 3D, updated flight simulator technology and new special effects. Guests will board a Starspeeder 1000 for a tour of several planets in the “Star Wars” galaxy. Though Disney has remained mum on which planets will appear, a new trailer shows scenes on Bespin, Coruscant, and Alderaan. By combining the planets with other ride experiences, Star Tours: The Adventures Continue will offer 54 unique journeys.
Disney’s new Star Tours ride takes place between the two “Star Wars” trilogies, happening after Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith but before Star Wars: A New Hope.
