You know, I’ve been on the old Star Tours a few times. The one at Disney World. It’s fun enough, but one time we all got stuck after a malfunction and a woman started screaming hysterically before the ride even started. It was a little traumatic.
Anyway, here’s an image taken from the original version of Star Tours over at Disneyland. You see it, right there in the seat?
Apparently, a strange figure would occasionally pop up on one of the ride monitors (allegedly cabin 2). Just a shade, a shadow. A crude outline of what looks like a ghostly child looking up at the camera. Light speed to Endor! and all that.
Some would claim the apparent ghost was just screen burn-in. But then it would always show up, now wouldn’t it? A supernatural conundrum if ever I saw one!
Like I said, I’ve been on the old Star Tours at MGM Studios (excuse me, it’s Disney’s Hollywood Studios now) quite a few times. Unfortunately, no ghosts seem ride that one. Now Pirates of the Caribbean? Well, good old George still lingers around there, or so they say…
They’ve since updated both Star Tours rides, so if it is a ghost, I wonder if it still hangs around in the new and shiny cabins. Is it a fan of the Disney Sequel Trilogy, do you think? If only we could ask…
