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

Thanks. Now there's just one part I'm confused on... Once you're called in from the chest room, will you be taken down one of many identical corridors to your pod?

No, there will only be one hallway leading to the pods. The pods are on a turntable so each one moves into the same position to load.

Two "lobbies" leading to two doors. Don't know the set up for the mobility pods.

Chess room has two hallways basically. One to each turntable. Four turntables, two chess rooms.

Mobility pods are on their own but you still go through the chess room.

So pretty much one pod will load while all the others are still riding.

Super rough sketch, but this is the best idea I could come up with for sharing one interior with two turntables. Could be a sliding door that hides one cockpit hallway at a time to keep the illusion.

Yes and one will exit. So you have 5 basically in a ride session while one loads and one exits. 7 pods total.

One of two corridors.

Alright, it all makes sense now! Thank you for the info!

Final question:

So the Hondo preshow happens, then pre-flight briefing and everyone is given roles, then you head into one of two chess rooms. Is it one group at a time for the chess room, or multiple groups waiting until their flight number is called?

I don’t have a definite answer on this but based on what I’ve seen I’d think multiple groups because it’s one chess room per two turntables.

And there's only one Hondo room. And how many pre-flight briefing rooms per chess table?

 

[Rteetz]

chess room?

sorry i missed this bit of info earlier..
will this be the hologram chess game from the OG or something from later films?

Yes, it’s been shown in images released by Disney.

Sorta like this...

The exit looks like the entrance... magic!!

Plus one accessible pod on each side

Yes, looking at my doodle above, pod 1 is loading, and 7 is unloading. Doors close and rotate clockwise. Then 7 will be loading and 6 unloading. Pod 1 will be starting their adventure.

The parasite scan and then the other scans that happen after "Huh, hold on..." are all filler. If the theater is ready, those parts are skipped.

Ok. That makes sense but that is because the theater isn't ready and they hold you in the reshow. This attraction may actually have to hold you in the vehicle itself. Different from a roller coaster where you out in the open and they can just pause you. If you are in the pilot seat, it will have to be a great filler or it will break the illusion.

Overall just looking forward to riding the Millennium Falcon.

My absolute best guess for how I think the queue is going to work, based on everything I've heard and the layouts of the turntables. I know they are some rough looking Microsoft Paint abominations, but can someone tell me if I'm on the right track or not? I'm looking at my people who seem to have insider knowledge on this, @SWGalaxysEdge @marni1971 ?

I think that is a great guess but I wonder if the turntables will turn in opposite directions so that they each exit down the middle or around the outside. I guess part of it would be whether they want to keep the exits separate to make us feel like we were the only ones or one exit to be cheaper.

"There are several amazing things about this cockpit. One is that it feels like it’s the only cockpit."
-Obviously, we knew about this, but it's nice to hear the effect is convincing.

Do we have any indication that this aspect will be equally convincing for the two accessible cockpits that aren't connected to turntables?

I got all of that the first time I rode. Everyone was looking around like, “what the heck is this?” Now it makes sense
