Is Star Tours: The Adventures Continue Kid-Friendly?
For older kids who love Star Wars, this can be an incredibly immersive and fun thrill ride. With a height requirement of 40 inches, younger guests who would likely be too young for the content anyway will be unable to ride. When considering whether your kid is old enough to ride, you will want to consider their bandwidth for lots of movement and jerky motions, as well as if they’ll be scared of certain elements.
Since the storyline changes each ride, no two rides are exactly alike. That means you may be seeing Stormtroopers, Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, or other characters depending on your specific ride-through, and you won’t be able to prepare kids for every specific ahead of time. Parents will always be the best to determine whether their specific kid is able to handle something, so just keep those elements in mind when deciding.
Best For: Fans of Star Wars, older kids and teens
Will Star Tours: The Adventures Continue Cause Motion Sickness?
As a motion simualtor, Star Tours definitely does have the potential to cause motion sickness. This is especially true if you’re sensitive to 3-D visual, simulated movements, or sudden drops and shakes. If you have motion sickness but really want to ride, your best bet would probably be taking a middle seat so you can keep your eyes focused on the screen. For simulator rides, closing your eyes or taking breaks can also help.
