Just got off the ride for the first time. I had a good idea of what was going to happen but I was still blown away (as was everyone else in my group). A few things in particular that were notable:
- Entering and exiting the transport ship on the same side threw everyone off. Everyone audibly gasped when the door opened. They were all talking about it even onto the interrogation and wondering how it worked. They all seemed to think we went underground?? (which doesn't really make sense but still funny to hear)
- Star Destroyer is incredible but i'm sure we all knew that already. The family in front of me thought the stormtroopers were actual people. Imagine having to stand there all day lol
- First Order Cast Members were great. They really sell the experience.
-The whole ride is just awesome. The scale, the animatronics, etc, etc. *Its crazy how fast the Star Destroyer guns move*
-I was expecting the drop but it still got me. It felt almost as though we were being tilted back a bit as it dropped?? Maybe im just imagining things haha
I honestly cant wait to come back to ride it. For reference, I got to the gate at 5:45am and the park was listed to open at 7am. Started letting people in at 6:35am and I got in at 11:43am- all rides were open already. I got boarding group 34. if you guys are debating whether or not to wake up early and do it, I would recommend just doing it. The one thing I heard getting off the ride from everyone was “that was so worth it.” Okay rant over.
