Star Tours Opens at Disneyland

A long time ago… Star Tours took flight at Disneyland with a 60-hour party! It was on this day in 1987 that guests could first hop aboard a Starspeeder 3000 for an exhilarating trip to Endor, even if that meant waiting in a line which stretched from Tomorrowland, down Main Street and past the Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln theater. Although lines for the popular new thrill ride subsided over the 60-hour period, guests could take time out to sample other new park fare, including the new Captain EO 3D film, the all-new Big Thunder Barbecue, the Golden Horseshoe Jamboree stage show, or the upbeat Totally Minnie parade.
