Our Insider disputes the the droppiness of the descent.

That’s the one I’ll run for the first time while I MaxPass an FP for Falcon. However, there is a case to be made for doing it in reverse and building up to the better attraction. Another factor is how the Queues are set up. I’m pretty sure FPs for either attraction will merge before any preshow but one factor could be which queue is more fun to stand in line in.

There are many people who are sensitive to motion simulators like Star Tours- where your motion is artificially synced to a video, vs a physical experience where you can see real surroundings. This is caused when the motion the person experiences differs from what the person is seeing and what they subconsciously think they should be doing.
These people aren't as effected in physical, tangible experiences.

I used to think that Disney would never cut any quality pre-show from a Fastpass experience, but then Flight of Passage skipped the laboratory. We'll have to see what happens to Star Wars.

...asking my insider right now...please stand by...
..I just asked my insider and he agrees... "It’s a controlled drop , not as sudden as tower and has motion like bird..."

Motion like bird?

Actually the ride is based on PC technology right now. Each pod is using 8 NVIDA Quadro P6000 GPU cards running in parallel and an updated version of the Unreal Engine. Those cards can be bought off the net right now for $4500-$6500 each. They all work together to calculate the images in real time. It will be a few more generations of consoles before even one of those GPUs are used let alone eight in parallel. Nice thing is they can be swapped out for even higher end cards and more memory. Just one of these things makes a XBox One X look like an Atari 2600.

** THIS JUST IN ** - Just found out Rey's Speeder from TFA will be at Batuu! - from my DL source.
As you are waiting in the queue line for "bird" (Smuggler's Run) there is an open door/vent and you see her speeder inside.
I don't believe you can go into the room, but it part of the "scenery" of the queue.
Now we get to wonder why her speeder is there. (Maybe there are more like it in the SW universe?)
(somewhere in the circled area of this image)
My source is marking up a google maps overlay with the queue line, etc for me.
I'll share when I get it back...

Well, you’re trying very hard to miss the point I was making. I said a realistic presentation won’t necessarily have a pristine view so the ride would still be convincing despite technology limitations.All of those things can easily be added to the simulation. It's just a checkbox to get any weather and wind conditions you want. You can even filter with windshield damage. I guess you could get a fan for real wind in your face. Some of the control rigs are amazing.

I think Rise will be more difficult to get into because it will break down more. Falcon's line will slow if there's an issue, but it will share the blessing/curse of the Flight of Passage crawl if one or more turntables dies. Barring an emergency, it should never *fully* go down.
Also, if the 4 extra ADA pods are real, then Falcon's capacity is a little higher than previously expected, and load can be more consistently efficient in the 'standard' pods.
I'll be interested to compare wait times for the rides coast to coast, not only because they're in vastly different parks, but because the ideal entry point for DHS puts you right in front of RotR, while Disneyland's takes you to Falcon.

Have I told you lately that I 👍 you?
Does sister bear have a black eye?!?
Sorry, I meant "affordable" when I said it was five years away from the home PC market.

From the SWGE model, this is where you will see Rey's (or one like it) speeder.
When I made this picture, I thought it might be someplace you go inside. maybe not...

Why would Disney put in "affordable" GPUs in to their premier ride? Even affordable GPUs are around $600 or so give amazing graphics.

Not to put words in someone else's mouth but I think the point they were raising is that in 5 years the average consumer would be able to mach the graphics cabability of this ride because the price with become more affordable. So if Disney is not consistently updating the graphics for the ride with both hardware and software a visitor in 2024 might say "wow this ride is pretty lame it has the same graphics as my computer at home".
