How high is the drop? The final drop on Rise of the Resistance is between 10 and 20 feet, though because of special effects it can feel like more. A lot of people thought it was going to make the ride scary, but personally, I don't think it's intense enough and almost everyone will be able to handle it with no problem.

My advice after experiencing both attractions would be to skip Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. While it is a great attraction, there are many jolts and lots of ups and downs as you make your way through space.

Many other attraction lines in Hollywood Studios have short standby lines in the morning. It's a better use of your time to ride them and save Rise for when lines are longer for everything later in the day (11:00am or later at least!).
