This is the best Star Wars ride. The experience begins from the moment you are “detained” by the cast members. They can be witty and bit mean to us “rebels” but it’s all in good fun. The ride itself is very thrilling and has some of the coolest effects I’ve ever seen on a ride. Spoiler alert: there is a drop but it’s not bad at all. It’s very controlled and just enough to lift you stomach.
Pros:
Cool effects, great experience, thrills, trackless coaster with amazing visualsCons:
Small drop if you don’t like that “mean” cast members if you’re a bit sensitive.Reviewed by mwpanek Review Date: 01/26/2026

This goes beyond a ride. This is truly an experience. It's like being dropped in the middle of a movie and experiencing it as a character. From Rey's hologram at the start through the various rooms and scenarios, it's like nothing I've ever seen.
Pros:
The entire experience.Cons:
Thankfully, the Studios let us in for early entry 60 minutes early instead of 30. The lines are the only negative.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 02/29/2024

One of the most immersive ride experiences there is. Even if you're not a huge star wars fan you'll find yourself not just viewing but being part of the story.
Pros:
There is nothing like it, it's a multi part ride and experience.Cons:
Long waits and the ride does tend to go down a lot. Consider buying a lightning lane for this one.Reviewed by Anonymous Review Date: 07/12/2023
