Can you believe it was twenty years ago today that Star Tours opened in Anaheim, CA’s Disneyland theme park? We could scarcely believe it ourselves!

Since this is THE place for Star Tours information on the internet, we’ve decided to go all out with loads of brand-new exclusive content, a bold new graphic look, and the same careful research you’ve come to expect from our expert contributors!

Webmaster Kris is hard at work on a new 20th Anniversary layout for this website. Researcher Brian Curran is poring through a plethora of photographs, and our own Star Tours-obsessed Alex Newborn is giving our readers unprecedented access to the materials in his extensive collection.

In the coming days, you can expect new articles on the opening ceremonies of Star Tours, new transcripts from 1987, exclusive interviews with fans who were actually there on Opening Day, tons of new pictures, celebrity greetings, and MORE!

Check back soon and check back often, because just like the opening of the ride itself, we realized we’ve got too much material for you to take in all in one day. Disneyland had a sneak preview on the 8th, a 60-hour non-stop party, and cast premieres which lasted until the 16th, so keep visiting swstartours.net all this week for more, more, more Star Tours than ever before!
