Not such a long time ago, in a themed land far, far away (unless you live in or near Florida)ā€¦

The hype for ā€˜The Rise of Skywalkerā€™ is over. But there has been an awakening at Disney World. Construction on Batuuā€™s second signature attraction Star Wars: Rise of The Resistance is complete, and the attraction is now open to all.

Meanwhile, visitors who have already braved Millennium Falcon: Smugglerā€™s Run are encouraged to return to the faraway galaxy to help the Resistance battle the relentless First Order. Those who have yet to visit Galaxyā€™s Edge are also being asked to join the fight!

6. About The Ride

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is a massive attraction. But itā€™s perhaps also one of the most complex in Disney World. With four interconnecting ride systems that combine a trackless journey, a walk-through, a simulator and a drop, youā€™ve never experienced anything quite like it.

From start to finish the attraction is also bursting with life. State-of-the-art Audio-Animatronics, impressive set pieces and holographic technology await. And to add that finishing touch, thereā€™s also the gloriously iconic score composed by the legendary John Williams himself.

5. Itā€™s More Than Just A Ride

While the likes of impressive Audio-Animatronics, set pieces, actors and scores help bring an attraction to life, it would be nothing without an engaging story to thread all of those things together. And it wouldnā€™t be a ā€˜Star Warsā€™ attraction without high stakes either.

The Resistance need your assistance. Head over to Black Spire Outpost and undertake a secret mission. But when youā€™re captured by a First Order Star Destroyer, where youā€™ll meet Kylo Ren and his First Order Troopers, donā€™t worry ā€“ youā€™ll have the likes of Rey and BB-8 on your side!

4. The Environment Is Out Of This World

To describe the attractionā€™s environment and all its detail as anything short of striking would be punishable by a drop into a sarlac! As you traverse the varied path of this complex attraction, youā€™ll be immersed into settings made famous by Disneyā€™s sequel trilogy.

Marvel as gargantuan AT-ATs tower over you in the dark, and as legions of First Order Troopers assemble for battle. Youā€™ll be caught up in battle yourself, witness epic space fights and even meet Rey in hologram-form, as well as General Hux and Kylo Ren in the flesh!
