Interesting -- is this still speculation or did plans leak? If so, sounds like what you are explaining is basically the simulator carousel component of HP Forbidden Journey, eh?
If that's the case, they could make part of the queue look like the inside of the MF -- and when you get into the cockpit, the door closes behind you and you're off -- with no idea that you've left the rest of the ship behind! More like a clock, you tick to the next spot and the next cockpit locks into place. Seems like it would be very immersive, but incredibly low-capacity!!!

Thanks for sharing. So basically Star Tours simulators on a Carrousel? No kuka arm. Do we know what these ride vehicles are capable of? I had read that this attraction was going to be the the more thrilling of the two SWL attractions. I'm just trying to understand from a motion perspective, what will make this more thrilling then say Star Tours?

Yes and no in that order.So basically Star Tours simulators on a Carrousel? No kuka arm.?

Not speculation.
Your queue description is very good.
Capacity is being handled by the amount of carousels.

Not in the ship.So it makes me wonder about what the rest (likely the majority) of the queue will be like.

Not in the ship.
Gullywhumper sighting!
Also, instant Critter Country railroad bridge forms before your very eyes.
I just can't imagine they are that far behind if physical props are arriving for placement in the river.
Since the topic of "What is the Falcon Experience" has surfaced again and has caused some confusion, let's try to make things as simple as possible by using analogies (so, those that scored high on their Verbal on their SATs - please enjoy).
Big Bird is to Star Wars Land/Star Wars Fans as the Hogwarts Express is to Diagon Alley/Potterheads.
The actual ride experience (the part in the RV) isn't the "big deal" with the big bird.
The BIG DEAL is how the how whole thing ties together. Guests will have the experience of going into a spaceport, walking through a hanger and actually going into the Falcon, walking through a part of it and then sitting down in one of those iconic 4 seats (ok, it's actually 6 on the RV) and taking flight. The RV is simply the rug that ties the room together (for the Dudes that abide).
The cool part is how seamless it should all be. MF should pull this off much better than the Hogwarts Express total package does.
The ride itself will be good; but, it's only a piece of the puzzle. It brings a bit more to the table than what you'd expect; but, don't go into it thinking the time spent in the RV will be the greatest ride ever. At the end of the day it's still just a motion simulator... just a very advanced and extremely detailed one.
The key phrase I've been telling everyone about the SW attractions is that MF is "exactly what you'd expect". Don't let your imaginations run wild with it (save that for Alcatraz). What you probably aren't going to be expecting is how close to the mark WDI is going to come to giving you the experience of taking a trip on that iconic ship. Giving people exactly what they expect/want is a great thing.
