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

[The Grand Inquisitor]

Is Hondo going to be on some type of screen telling you the safety instructions before you enter the cockpit? Also has it been confirmed Hondo will be telling us what to do throughout the ride like "gunners shoot that tie fighter!"?

..right, Took me a while to stop assuming it needed to look like the same shape on the outside.
In fact the exit hallway is back to back with the entrance hallway

Kind of. It comes close in one of the tables.

It should be noted all four tables have different exit layouts. Two of them have to work around the ADA cabins.

Does anyone have any info about the seating inside the ADA pod? My disabled daughter loves SW but there is no way she could ride this without someone sitting with her. The concept art I've seen of the cockpit with the individual seating has so far lead me to rule this one out for our family.

The concept art only show the main cockpit not the ADA cockpit. So I wouldn’t judge anything concerning ADA from that.

Other than that I haven’t heard much on the internal ADA cockpits layout.

..can I share your sketch as speculation? Want credit? Trust me, you are very close...

Yeah, just credit “the such and such thread” or “a user on wdwmagic.”

...the ADA pod is exactly the same as the non-ADA pods, just not attached to the turntable.
Riders still need to xfr to the seats to ride. The seats are set up exactly the same.

..thanks will do!

Random question but do we know how “thrilling” this experience will be. Or are we talking just same range of thrill that Star Tours offers (which admittedly is basically a mild attraction not a “thrilling” experience).

Side Note: Not saying this needs to be thrilling to be enjoyable. Piloting the falcon is good enough for me. Just curious on this though.

...the one mission I saw (not that I saw a mission - wink wink) involved a 'Solo' type of mission, Chasing a train to get coaxium. You had to catch up to the train while TIE fighters were shooting at you (guarding the train) and then the Falcon bumped the train and a certain point. The train boarded an elevator type device and was lowering down, the Falcon goes after it, bumps it again and everything crashes to the bottom, Hondo says : "oh good you got some coaxium" - that's as far as I saw/not saw...seemed pretty exciting to me!

Considering I liked “Solo” wasn’t the greatest movie ever but it was a fun ride. I’m happy to even see they mentioned coaxium. Of course I’m a fan of Hondo (happy he appears in the ride as opposed to just in queue) as I’m a fan of almost everything Dave Filoni touches (Rebels and Clone Wars). Definitely sounds exciting!

...well I cant show the actual plans. I have them but I cant show them

Why are you making assumptions if you have the plans? Sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, but you post everything as a definitive fact, then often have to refute yourself. If you're speculating, just say so. If you have sources, but the info's vague, write it in a way that conveys that.

Thanks!
Do you have the plans or have just seen the plans?

...seen.

...took me a while to stop assuming (before I saw the plans) - like a lot of people, I assumed the interior must be laid out like the Falcon, once I saw the plans, it was different that what we assumed. I try to balance posting the facts while not giving up my sources.

Six axis motion base like Star Tours but smaller. 4 UHD projectors with a fixed position curved screen outside to give parallax. The screen extends above the cockpit and beyond the side windows (almost back to the edge of the turntable) for added effect of looking through the cockpit windows, unlike Tours where the screen is attached to the cabin.

Martin, do you know if the two mobility pods are also on the motion simulator, or do they remain static?

Further to my last post I believe it is on a motion base. But I can’t be sure. Conflicting details.

There is nothing I want to see more than a behind the scenes look at the tech of this ride. Turntable, paired with motion base, paired with 4 projectors? Fantastic. The behind the scenes video of DLP's motion base still fascinates me to watch. The jump to hyperspace effect being so simple, yet so effective.

Question: do you know if the motion base is hydraulic or electric? Martin, just give me a sad face reaction if you can't tell me, I won't even make you type out a "No."

Just Found out - Scott Trowbridge mentioned at SWC9 that the [Falcon] hallways will look different depending on how much your ship crashes during your mission. Found out it will be the through practical effects. No duplicate hallways. No projection mapping. Lighting changes and other effects.
