Star Tours: The Adventures Continue height and health restrictions
The Star Tours ride may not be suitable for everyone, so it is important to ensure that all guests are in good health before riding. Guests should not have any back, neck, or heart problems, and those who are pregnant should not attempt the ride. Additionally, the ride has a height restriction of 1,02m, meaning that all guests must be at least that tall to be able to ride. To ensure the safety of all guests, these restrictions must be followed.
If you are susceptible to motion sickness, take caution when going on this ride. This particular ride is a motion simulator, meaning it is a closed cabin that moves to create the feeling of motion. Even if you usually don’t get motion sick, it is still possible to feel lightheaded or nauseous after riding this simulator. I personally have experienced this before, so I would highly recommend taking precautions to avoid any sort of discomfort.
Discover unique souvenirs to take home with you!
At the exit of the Star Tours ride at Disneyland Paris, there is an expansive shop where guests can purchase a variety of Star Wars-themed souvenirs. These souvenirs include lightsabers, clothing and apparel with Star Wars logos or characters, and even full-sized Stormtrooper masks. In addition to these items, there are also more generic toys and snacks, making this shop a great place to grab a souvenir from your trip to Disneyland Paris.
When you step outside the main building, you can get the chance to meet Darth Vader in person! This is a separate attraction, so you’ll need to line up for it, but the line usually moves quickly. Be prepared to meet the iconic villain from the Star Wars franchise, and don’t expect him to say much during your encounter. He may be a bit intimidating, but if you’re a Star Wars fan, this is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with one of the most iconic characters in cinema history!
