Yesterday we got on Star Tours I have to admit I was a curious to see how they incorporate it into the ride and looked forward to seeing what was ahead. I enjoy Star Tours and was there the first summer it opened and I still have my black Star Tours ball cap from back them but I also do not put it as a must ride every time I go. In the end it wasn't the new scenes that made one of my favorite times ever riding the ride, I wasn't Rebel spy this time nor was anyone in my party (we've had that happen numerous times) and I have probably ridden the ride over a hundred times since it opened, no it was the guests in our group. They cheered with glee and oooh and awed laughed at all the humorous quips and then we landed applauded as if it was a Broadway show. I actually felt like just experienced something special. It reminded me of how guests reacted when the ride first opened. in recent years I have not experienced guests ever seeming so appreciative of the experience like I did on that ride yesterday. Upon exit a CM asked me if I enjoyed surviving the battle of Exegol to which I replied "Sure...yes I did" She then gave me one of those buttons celebrating ( written in Aurabech ) " Surviving Battle of Exegol" which was a nice lil capper for the moment.
I have also had the opposite where being on a POTC boat full of young adults who couldn't stop being obnoxious and pretty much ruined the entire ride until I began starring at them in a tone that let them know I was over their immaturity. Or being next to a doom buggy with an idiot who thinks they have every right to use a flash repeatedly throughout the ride.
Has anyone else had a dramatic improvement of their ride experience come from other guests being in a positive mood? I am sure there have been several rides ruined by bad guests as well.
