With Disney's Star Wars-themed lands close to opening at its Florida and California theme parks, the operator has shared a first close-up picture of its new Millennium Falcon ride, a major part of the new immersive worlds.
Last month, Scott Trowbridge, portfolio creative executive at Walt Disney Imagineering, revealed that the ride will be called Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. The ride, says Disney, will give guests the opportunity to get behind the controls of the legendary spaceship in one of three flight crew roles.
Last month Disney also introduced a second signature attraction, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, which it said would put visitors in the middle of an epic battle between Resistance and Imperial troops.
Due to arrive at Disney California in Summer 2019, and in Florida during the Autumn of 2019, both Star Wars-inspired lands will, according to Disney, “transport guests to a never-before-seen planet, a remote trading port and one of the last stops before Wild Space, where Star Wars characters and their stories come to life."
In addition to these attractions, the Star Wars resorts will enable guests to visit the Cantina where they can meet creatures and characters that are hallmarks of the Star Wars universe, as well as immerse themselves in a host of dynamic elements and interactive integrations with the Play Disney Parks app. Oscar-winning composer John Williams, who composed the original iconic Star Wars music, has been commissioned to create new musical themes exclusively for the parks.
Disney also has plans for an immersive Star Wars-themed hotel experience and a new Star Wars area as part of Disneyland Paris. For more, click here.
