Questions from my last visit

[Minuet888]

Hi there
I have some questions from my last visit that my cast member friends didn't have the answers to and I thought why not ask them here.

First of all Fantasmic. I did the dessert thing and while waiting to sign a very nice cast member was chatting with us. People asked if everything was working like Murphy the dragon etc and was told yes I then asked if Flotsom and Jetson were working as I have NEVER seen them despite always seeing Fantasmic and was told they were working but of course no FLotsom and Jetson, has anyone else seen these guys lately? I've seen Fantasmic 5 times in the last year alone and never seen them!!!

Fireworks. THe ones we saw were Remember Dreamscome true or something like that. WHatever happened to the fireworks show called Magic and Eden Espinoza saing the soundtrack to. It seems like it was only there for a couple of weeks then vanished never to be heard from again.

WOC. I remember when I first saw WOC there were these white half dome globe thingy things that came up out of the water and showed motion things on them I remember it was a fish part like Under the Sea or soemthing, this was my second time seeing WOC but being closer to the water I was hoping to see what was on them as I didn't have a good view of it the first time but they never showed up. Has anyone else seen these or know what I am talking about?

Star TOurs: I have heard about all the different combinations and with this being my sons favorite ride and having a GAC we rode this ride quite a bit in the last five months and we always ALWAYS have the pod racer scene and have had usually one space fight scene and a bounty hunter scene after that but always the pod racer scene first. I am told there are 15 beginnings, 15 middle, and 15 endings and one person told me he had never seen the pod racers scene yet. What are your experiences on star tours??

I think thats it but as usual if I think of anymore I'll let you know.
Oh yes and please and thank you to anyone who can answer these questions for me.

Can't help with fireworks, WoC or Fantasmic I'm afraid but...

On Star Tours there are 2 different opening scenes -
Vader or Stormtroopers & Droid

Then 3 different first destinations -
Hoth, the ice planet
Kashyyyk, Chewbacca's homeworld
and the Pod Race on Tatooine that you seem to be getting a lot.

Next you get a transmission from either Princess Leia, Admiral Akbar or Yoda.

Then there a 3 possible end scenes -
Underwater on Naboo (with brief appearance by Jar Jar Binks)
Chased through traffic on Courascant
or battling with Boba Fett in an uncompleted Death Star.

Any combinations of opening, first destination, transmission and end scene is technically possible.
My experiences riding have given me Vader, podrace and Naboo as the most common combo.

I've never experienced Kashyyyk or the Death Star (or been the Rebel spy for that matter) - all the more reason to keep riding this great attraction!

Flotsom and Jetsom were working last Christmas when we watched.

Magical plays during the summer peak. Off season is Remember.

When we saw WoC last summer, the globes were working fine, we haven't seen it since.

I have heard that if you ride Star Tours enough, it should eventually even out so you'll see all the destinations the same number of times. I think that's probably more or less true, though my experiences have been similar to peajay18's. (Except I was SO fortunate on I think my 5th try when I got the 2 scenes I'd been missing BOTH in the same ride!)
