Star Tours

My wife just had back surgery and cannot be jostled around. I never noticed before, but does Star Tours have any non-moving seating? She loves this ride. TIA.

No.
The whole theater is a simulator, which moves in relation to the movie in front of you. It is a very turbulent ride, with lots of up/down/forward, etc.

In the past, some people have been able to ride a movement free showing of the movie. Basically, they show the movie, but turn off the simulator so that the theater does not move.
You would need to ask at the entrance and be prepared for them to give you a time to come back later. Whether or not it is even possible to do will depend on staffing, how many ride cars they are running, how busy it is, etc.
Since most people want to ride with motion, they may not have the resources to do a run without motion all the time.

They used to have one statioary pod, but it was discontinued when ST re-opened in May 2011. I specifically asked a ride CM about this last month.

Right now the new ride is popular and they use all the pods with motion. In the future, who knows? They might designate a stationary one again. But for now, it's all motion.
