The ride itself is truly so much fun and a blast if you ride with the proper people.My next statement I have to preface with yes, I understand you cannot ban children or people with language barriers. BUT. Children as pilots ruin the attraction, and without proper directions in other languages it's almost impossible for someone who does not speak English to understand how to play the game.I almost never go on this attraction unless I have 5 or 6 people to complete the cockpit. It's a hit or miss because with children as the pilots I feel like my neck was breaking off.

Depending on how the people you are with steer, this ride can be nauseating. However, if you are able to overcome this it is quite fun. Really immersive.

# 43 Review for 2024********Flying to a galaxy far far away***Overall experience 5 Stars*****Visiting Millennium Falcon's Smuggler's Run with my family was an absolutely breathtaking experience! Stepping into the cockpit of the iconic ship was like diving headfirst into the Star Wars universe. The thrill of being part of a daring mission was palpable as we each took on different roles, making every ride feel fresh and engaging. The level of excitement soared as we navigated through space, dodging obstacles, and striving to complete our mission. The attention to detail in the ride's design and the immersive storytelling truly made it an unforgettable adventure for every Star Wars enthusiast in our family.

Be honest: you've always wanted to fly the Falcon. And if you're any friend of mine, you've dreamed of saying, "punch it, Chewie!" Or better yet, pretended you ARE Chewie while pulling that lever and blasting into hyperspace. So when this ride opened, lifelong nerds such as myself rejoiced. It was amazing to see the Falcon in person. Then you get to see fan-favorite (if you like the Star Wars animated shows. If you don't, you're wrong): Hondo Onaka on all his weequay glory. Then you get to WALK THROUGH THE FALCON!!! And sit at the Dejarik board! And see several nods to the movies while you await your turn to enter the cockpit. Then, my friends- your moment has arrived. I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up a little when stepping into that cockpit. Sitting down in Chewie's seat. That could have been the end of the experience and I'd be a happy customer. But then you GET TO FLY!!! AND YOU GET TO PUNCH IT!!!! Okay I'm getting too excited here. There are 3 roles to play: pilot, gunner, and engineer (2 each, for a total of 6 people at a time). You basically press the buttons when they light up and work together to retrieve (legally? Who knows?) a shipment of coaxiom to earn money for both Hondo and the Resistance- win-win! It's a more technical Star Tours-type simulation ride. The pilots actually control the movement of the ship (so if you happen to six- and eight-year-old pilots, you might want to take your bonine for this one. I speak from experience). The ride itself is decently fun, being the pilot is most enjoyable but it's difficult. But, as a lifelong Star Wars nerd, the experience is the best part. May the Force be with you!

Each person can participate in controlling the Falcon spacecraft according to their mission. The entrance is well decorated with a Star Wars concept! It's kind of fun haha

Team up with others to get through the mission! The very amazing thing about this ride is that your participation actually matters! It's not just a video playing, and you and your "crew" do need to steer and shoot for real. Surprisingly immersive!

First off the attention to detail is amazing and the place looks identical to being on the millennium falcon. The issue I have is depending on when you line up you can either be the pilot. gunners, or engineers. Some jobs are not as fun as the others as you can imagine which is why I rate this low. We got set as engineers because our place in line and all you do is press flashing buttons….

This was the one ride in Galaxy's Edge the fam and I decided to use our first lightning lane reservation on. Totally worth it. The wait was about 15 minutes, mostly walking toward the front of the line/ride entrance. There's a cast member that explains the roles for each passenger. 6 riders fit in one aircraft and this ride does have a single rider lane. The single rider does not get preference for what spot they want. There are two pilots (front), two shooters (mid) and 2 mechanics (back). Its a virtual interactive ride that still has the thrills and enjoyment of an actual roller coaster IMO. I don't always enjoy virtual rides but this one was entertaining enough. Would be nice to ride multiple times to try different duties. If you don't mind splitting up the party and forfeiting the pilot seat, I'd say check out the single rider. The wait time seems to consistently stay on the higher side throughout the day and night...
Daniel Hill
Super fun. But may only be worth it if your the pilot. Either way it's great!
In comparison to Rise of the Resistance (ROTR), this ride doesn't compare. It's still a fun ride if wait time is 30 minutes or less. There is a single rider, but typically you will get the Engineer every time. Also, this is an attraction available with Genie+ but personally it's a ride I skip unless I come for ROTR.

The immersion and level of detail throughout the queue and ride are top notch. However, the ride itself isn’t very pleasant for those who are not pilots and are relegated to just button mashing in the back the entire time. The storyline is fine enough for first time riders, but each time you ride it’s less and less impressive and repetitive.

It’s a dream to able to pilot the millennium falcon!!!You will be designated a role in the millennium falcon - pilot, engineer, and shooter.And it’s really not easy to pilot this ‘piece of junk’! Better ask your best pilot to pilot this!

This ride is fine. The flight simulator itself is very good but the interactivity kinda sucks in my opinion. Most roles feel inconsequential and having constant lasers flying all over the place kinda takes away from the experience. I don't know, I think I'd like this ride a lot more if it didn't make me push a bunch of buttons.

My husband and I lightning laned this ride only 5 minutes ahead of our arrival time to Rise of the Resistence so we went in here. This is a very immersive experience but the gist of the attraction is that you sit in a row of two and are assigned a role to play on an interactive motion simulator.I was having trouble hearing the preshow talk whick I later learned was given by Hondo Ohnaka. However, I did like the fact that before boarding my husband and I got to pose in a Star Wars themed cantina style table. Apparently we were on some sort of smuggling mission aboard the Millenium falcon.We were given a color and for some reason we got the assignment as the pilots. We sat in the cockpit of the famous vehicle jumping into hyperspace for our adventure and back again later. My husband controlled the vehicle left and right while I controlled it up and down. I must admit this was a fun and challenging experience and seeing what it would be like from Hans and Chewbacca's point of view.
