Ehhh! Wrong. It is a review thread. So i gave a review based on what I have seen
What? You think Siskel amd Ebert and to be on the set of every movie the reviewed to form an educated opinon on it?

That's literally not the same thing at all. And I'm pretty sure the intention of this thread was not for people to post their reviews from YouTube videos. Perhaps @wdwmagic can clarify for us.

I am as well, if I miss it...I’m going to WDW in January so I should be good to go. I’m banking on the fact that it’s going to be a surprise opening for D23 (similar to Fantasmic).

I’m hoping this too! I’m there from Aug 20-26. Have badges for the Friday and Saturday at D23, but only willing to wait stupid hours for the live action film panel.

Crowds across the parks appear to be very light right now. That may change as the day goes on especially with grad night folks showing up (my daughter is on a bus headed down now) and general afternoon Friday crowds. I just did see a short video review by Len Testa and he loved the land but didn’t think the ride was very good.

After riding the attraction, here are my 2cents on MFSR.

1. If you have anxiety and just want to "experience" the ride, you don't have to participate. The CM will tell you to hit the button to activate your station but you absolutely do not have to. I have been on the attraction with 3 and 4 people out of 6 and the system automatically adjusts the entire experience based on the active crew positions.

2. That being said, if you are the pilot and don't want the pressure of flying, I would offer the spot up to others before not activating your station since that would be one of the more sought after positions on the Falcon.

3. Pilot controls. It definitely is on the sensitive side. Although it is not as sensitive as one of those NASCAR racing games at the arcade it takes some getting used to. The great thing is that the experience "helps" in terms of getting you to where you need to be without making it frustrating.

3a. IMHO the Imagineers made the pilot controls on the more sensitive side to make the ride experience more thrilling. If it were easy to control there would definitely be less overall movement. Of course they could of programmed obstacles to force movement but the end of the day, the controls aren't so sensitive that it makes flying impossible.

4. Overall it is a great experience and definitely fun.

Do you happen to know if I have a little kid who wants to press buttons, steer, etc, but not have everyone in the cockpit mad at them (cough @TP2000 cough) can they refrain from activating the controls at first, and then once the ride begins they can interact, press, steer etc. without the instruments becoming activated?

I am not sure. I would definitely ask the CMs. I am not sure how hard it would be to test the theory if you didn't opt out yourself as I don't recall how close the controls are for each position.

Ah, the old "give your kid brother a non-active or disconnected controller" trick.

This thread is set up for people who have actually been in person to write their reviews, and for other posters to ask them specific questions.
