OK, but realistically unless they were one person pods, exactly how would it be actually controllable and I'm not even taking technically possible into consideration.

This is what many of us are wondering. Hopefully it's more than the "control" in Mission: SPACE.

If I were a betting man it will just be a different story line, but mechanically a Mission: Space without the spin. I would think it would be fun though.

The bird is rumored to be a kuka arm robocoaster-type ride. I'm picturing a flat track (though I guess it could have drops), whilst the simulator room you're sitting in sits on top of it, as if you replaced the shoulder harness benches on Forbidden Journey with an actual simulator projection room that seats four or so people, themed to the cockpit, hence the linear motion. I'm just guessing though.

Oooooh, I like it! Sounds interesting, and not like a new version of Star Tours, so that's good. Hope good words keep coming! Thanks.

Don't know. I didn't start the rumor or post that information. I am only referring to what has been said earlier in this thread. I would love to know how they would do something like that too. Unless they set it up like Mission Space and gave real control to the knobs, switches, and stick in the cockpit.

Yeah, I understand.
But actual movement, rather than a stationary Star-Tours-esque "ride," is what I am hoping for and what you are saying will exist in some form. So I am glad for that.
I seriously hope a modified cockpit holds more than 6 people or else for the sake of capacity this ride will need 50 pods

I'm envisioning the MF attraction to be like FJ, only instead of on a track you are in a cockpit that can rotate on an axis, synced to move with projections on a domed screen. I'm having a hard time seeing how many people will sit in a cockpit though. Martin said multiple, identical ride systems to increase capacity but that could be 2 or 20 depending on how many each cockpit seats.

Another one for the collection. Thanks

I kind of feel like the MF ride will require one person in the group to be the pilot (kind of like the way the Disneyquest POTC ride and I think the Alien Encounter ride function) which would have to be chosen in the queue and you would stand in a particular loading slot. That person would control the movement. The other people would be gunners and fire at stuff. Perhaps there would be alternating vehicles of different size -- I'm thinking 2 or 4 person pods so it's either 1 pilot +1 gunner or 1 pilot + 3 gunners. The 2 person pod would be set up so the pilot can also shoot, which would be the setup for a solo rider.
Just a thought on how it might work.

I'm sure this is detailed out somewhere in this megathread, and so I do apologize for being a bit out of the loop here/possibly asking a stupid question, but can someone help clarify something for me?
In the initial press releases for SWL, I thought Disney referred to two new attractions, one of which was the Falcon ride and one was something else that was, if memory serves, left pretty vague. Do we know anything about this "other" attraction? Coaster? Dark ride? Simulator? Something they planned to do at one point but will probably never get around to?
