35 Years of Star Tours Adventures with D23 Panel Information, D23

As found on the Disneyland site, Star Tours was first brought to life on January 9, 1987, by George Lucas and Walt Disney Imagineering. Located in Tomorrowland, the original version of the ride blasted off to Endor. Since then numerous other destinations have been traveled to and in 2011 3D technology was added. The beloved attraction features state-of-the-art technology including a flight simulator, digital 3D video, Audio-Animatronics characters and “in-cockpit” special effects and music. The ride is suggested for kids, tweens, teens, and adults, and requires passengers be at least 40″ (102cm) tall.

Being 6’ 4” and Asian, he never really fit in, so he got comfortable standing out. Not only is it easy to find him in crowds, he dabbles in the culinary arts, does a little stand up and improv, and can honestly say Spider-Man is the Jesus-like influence of his life. Kevin Fenix loves dogs, movies, television, comics, comedy, and to shoot people… with video.
