    I’m not so sure there is an extra pane of glass there making it fully enclosed. Notice how there aren’t any guns present? I’m taking this as a hint that it is indeed motion gesture based like the legoland ninjago ride. I think it’s open space and the “window” is just to frame the scene and make...

    Subtle difference but that's not what I mean. In this video they all confirm in as players by hitting the flashing button at the start. If you don't hit that, the ride assumes nobody is seated in that position and puts it on autopilot. So in this video you have 6 active players that are AFK, I'm...

    Does anyone know what happens when you ride Smugglers Run and put every position on autopilot (ie no riders press the I'm here button)? There's a video going around of what happens if you activate but then never press anything but I'm curious what the experience of it is like with the game just...

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    And just to add some color to this, I think we can safely assume that if elevator 1 is going up to the second level in the room with the AT-AT's, the second set of elevators would be simulating the crash landing back to Batuu which makes sense for motion bases

    He means Society of Explorers and Adventurers. Secret society of fictional characters that tie together a few attractions and restaurants like Tokyo's Tower of Terror, Miss adventure falls, fortress explorations, tropical hideaway, skipper canteen, mystic manor, and probably more I'm forgetting

    It's easy to ask for your role when you are in the normal queue, if you go in single rider though they tend to give you whatever cards weren't chosen by the normal line so you're haggling with other guests not cast members. Idk about you but I don't love taking away a child's pilot card haha

    I mean there is a whole dashboard of buttons and switches and when you take damage they light up in specific patterns and you only have a few seconds to hit them all. It’s like a speed test arcade game. It’s not deep but this is a 4 minute experience with no tutorial it’s about as deep as you...

    Personally I was fine with engineer. Just hitting a bunch of buttons is pretty fun and I really didn’t have any issues multitasking to see the main screen and my buttons, the green highlight around whatever you need to hit is bright enough to ping your peripheral vision. It doesn’t have a ton of...

    I also don’t really dislike the ride. I’d give it a meh. Being optimistic, it’s a bad game for a supisingly solid platform. The controls feel nice, the cockpit looks great, and the underlying tech is pretty impressive. If future missions do come out that push the interactivity further to give...

    Yeah they could have gone with a Star Tours style "mission board" but now you're really not differentiating the two which are already pretty similar. It's a tough situation

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Disneyland opening reports/reviews

    I think it's a little different here. Part of the issue is since they want to eventually randomize the missions they had to make the queue generic so it could fit any task you are given by hondo. Notice how the preshow with the AA mentions nothing about correlia or coaxium or anything. They...

    News Star Wars Galaxy's Edge Disneyland opening reports/reviews

    This is basically the thesis of the video I'm making right now on the ride. In order to "fulfill the fantasy" of smugglers run they need to put you in a star wars story as well as giving you control over the falcon, but the concessions needed to accomplish both means it does neither well. It...

    Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run - Ride/Queue Details and Discussion

    Yeah it doesn’t seem possible to me but I could be wrong. Seems the first canister you get is always the falling sequence, you can’t earn one before then. The second you can get is during the room where you have to pass through all the white gates behind the train. There doesn’t seem to be...

    It's pretty interesting to go back and watch the leaked demo footage from Smuggler's Run. This section basically exists on the ride as is but it's been simplified quite a bit, probably for visual clarity.

    Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

    Not disagreeing because this seems to be the case but it just doesn’t make sense to me. With the rest of GE open at DL and running smoothly it literally should be all hands on ROTR. Something bad must have happened if it’s somehow fallen behind the Florida version

    Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run - Ride/Queue Details and Discussion

    Yeah this seems like my experience as well. Is 3 coaxium even possible? I felt like when I got 2 I didn't do a perfect run and yet I haven't seen a video of anyone getting 3 and Hondo's ship seemingly only has slots to carry back 2 so....

    Great America was my home park for 20 years! I've been on 5 of the clones of it too so I know my way around a Batman: The Ride. I really enjoy them I was just poking fun at Six Flags general trend of choosing themes of "apocalypse" so they don't need to keep things sparkly clean to look on brand

    It's Six Flags theming at its best. Grab an old car from a junk yard, a bunch of sheets of corrugated metal to line the walls of the queue, and fill any empty corner with an industrial waste barrel. Better yet, the longer they neglect it without painting or landscaping the more it looks decrepit...

    Rumor Disney Looking To Trade The Theme Park Rights of Alien with Universal in exchange for Black Panther to Build a Wakanda Pavillion at Epcot

    Yeah sorry but I seriously doubt this. It just flies in the face of how all Disney and Universal look at their own IP's now. They only want to make movies and build attractions that support IP they own rather than licensing IP from other people. Why would Universal be interested in Alien? Why...

    I get your point and it's true public reaction does have some value. For the specific example, I don't think they actually considered getting rid of IASW. That rumor got started based on Jim Hill misinterpreting a survey question and thinking it was only asked about small world when they ask...
