      The power of the Force and the magic of Disney have combined to create “Star Tours – The Adventures Continue,” a new 3-D attraction set to open at Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park on May 20, 2011. The attraction also will open at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, Calif., on June 3, 2011.

      Based on the Star Wars films, Star Tours will take Walt Disney World Resort guests to multiple Star Wars destinations where they will interact with characters from throughout the Saga. And it will all be in 3-D.



      With eye-popping 3-D digital filming, a dramatic musical score and motion simulator-based technology, guests will be immersed in the Star Wars galaxy like never before on a theme park attraction. Walt Disney Imagineering worked with Lucasfilm, Ltd. and Industrial Light & Magic – the groundbreaking visual effects division of Lucasfilm – to bring the out-of-this-world attraction to life.

      Angelica spent her early years in a convent[3]. When she grew to be a young woman, Angelica had a relationship with Jack Sparrow, and had the distinction of being the only woman he ever truly loved. Throughout their many ventures together, Angelica was corrupted by Jack, acquiring great skill in the art of deception from his teachings. For some unknown circumstances, their love didn't end well.
      Many years later, Angelica became the First Mate aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge. As her father grew older, Angelica became interested in the Fountain of Youth, which was said to be discovered by Juan Ponce de León in 1523. Blackbeard and Angelica began their search for the Fountain sometime after the War Against Piracy. During one of Blackbeard's raids, his crewmen captured a young missionary, Philip Swift, in the process. Before Blackbeard had a chance to kill Philip, Angelica stopped him, as she didn't want him to kill a man of God.
