Ever since it opened in 1987 Star Tours has been thrilling millions of travelers. When it reopened as Star Tours The Adventures Continue it had a new speeder, the 1000, with a spiffy new red color scheme as seen here in this MOC by nobu_tary. The ride makes me super barfy, but I still have to get my Star Wars fix from time to time. And it just has a special place in Disneyland, which already has a special place in my heart.
I don't know if it's my geekiness for Star Wars or my recent missing of Disneyland but this MOC caught my eye instantly. Yes, Star Tours makes me barfy, but I do love it so. This version of the Starspeeder 3000 by HJR-Holland is pretty cool, with custom color scheme and decals it just looks fast. It's to celebrate 500 supporters for his Cuusoo project, and we can expect more as we pass more landmarks. Now if we can just avoid the imperials while we try and go on vacation...
I've been missing Disneyland. You all know I'm a fan and frequent flyer, but we're taking a hiatus (passes expired and we're waiting to renew) so I haven't been in a few months. So in addition to listening to park music and ride-throughs, I'm perusing Disney MOCs. And this StarSpeeder 3000 by Sir Nadroj is one of my all-time faves. Clean lines, clever construction and perfect attention to detail. It just doesn't get much better than this.
