Star Tours – The Adventures Continue is a fan-favorite ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios that takes Guests on a thrilling 3D space flight to iconic destinations from the Star Wars franchise. 

The attraction officially opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on May 20, 2011, and now, 10 years later, Guests are beginning to notice some deterioration on the iconic mural on the Star Tours show building.

Bioreconstruct took to Twitter to share some new photos of the Star Tours show building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, which showcases an iconic mural. It seems the hot Florida sun has finally caught up to the mural as deteriorating and weathering is clearly visible:

As we have seen in the past, this is not the first Disney element to show weathering or fading over the years. This is more than likely due to being out in the hot Florida sun day in and day out. We have seen other areas of Walt Disney World experience weathering as well, including the Tangled area in Magic Kingdom and Spaceship Earth in EPCOT.

Explore a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Board your Starspeeder 1000 and prepare for take off! When a series of mishaps unwittingly causes your starship to launch too soon, protocol droid C-3PO takes the controls.

Suddenly, the ship is intercepted by Imperial—or First Order—forces searching for a Rebel spy. To avoid capture, you’ll embark on a thrilling, unpredictable flight that rockets you to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.

Featuring a flight simulator, digital 3D video, Audio-Animatronics characters and “in-cockpit” special effects and music, this attraction immerses you in the Star Wars mythology for an unforgettable intergalactic adventure.

Will your starspeeder elude capture and make it back to the base? May the Force be with you—always.

Featuring Favorite Star Wars Characters

Your adventure may take you face-to-face with First Order villain Kylo Ren, menacing bounty hunter Boba Fett, ace pilot Poe Dameron, Princess Leia or Jedi Master Yoda—plus many more.

Always a New Adventure

Find yourself in a unique story again and again—including one inspired by Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Anytime you ride, you might fly into the middle of a furious battle on Crait, dodge blaster fire from TIE fighters on Jakku, swoop into the dreaded Death Star or dive deep under the oceans of Naboo.

Plus, to celebrate Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Star Tours now features an all-new destination from the movie—the ocean moon of Kef Bir.”

Because the many story twists are random, you never know where you’ll go or who you may encounter along the way!
