Fantastic

I grew up near Disneyland and let me tell you, Star Tours is fantastic. What an adventure, from the moment you step into the building until the moment you leave. I am, of course, a Star Wars fan as well, and it really helped in feeding my "addiction," if you will. :D I think my favorite part of the thing was the little worker droid that talked to you while you waited. Oh, man: when I went to Disneyland one day when I was six, I wore my new Little Mermaid socks (SOCKS, people, yes) and this little droid commented on them. "Hey, I like your socks." Honest to GOD, I am serious. Someone must have been in a room off somewhere with a camera hooked up to the droid's eyes, but either way, it was the greatest thing any kid could go through, I just remember everyone smiling at me and laughing, and I felt like the coolest kid out there. Go on this ride, gosh darn it. :D You won't regret it!
