| (Jan. 9, 1987–Present) BACKSTORY: Disneyland approached George Lucas with the idea for the Star Tours attraction and then purchased four large military flight simulators ($500k each) for the ride structure. Lucas and his Industrial Light & Magic team worked on the first-person perspective film that would be projected inside the simulators. The final cost of $32 million was almost twice the cost of building the original park. In celebration of the attraction’s debut, Disneyland remained open for a special 60-hour marathon from January 9, 1987 at 10am to January 11, 1987 at 10pm. |
