Star Tours soft opening: Disney offers a view of Star Wars-themed attraction

Guests at Disney's Hollywood Studios on Saturday had an opportunity to ride the revamped Star Tours attraction before its official reopening. The unannounced preview, which began about 2 p.m., allowed Disney to test the ride before it reopens to the public May 20, the first day of Star Wars Weekends.

Star Tours has been closed since September while it was transformed into a 3D attraction.

During the "soft opening," cast members in Jedi costumes lined the queue to make sure guests did not photograph or videotape the ride.
