How scary is Smugglers Run?

Is Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Scary? That all depends on what kind of rides you like, but in general, I would not say that Smugglers Run, no. It's a flight simulator so expect lots of bumpy movements and sharp turns throughout, but this is also somewhat affected by whoever the pilot is.

Not the best run, not the worst. Riding the Falcon isn't as bumpy as Star Tours, but it is still a motion simulator. If you're prone to motion sickness you may want to ask for the engineer position. I was told by friends that it was the position least likely to experience any motion sickness, and they were right.

The side to side motions are also fairly smooth and not jerky. This one might be okay for you. Star Wars rides - Star Tours, Rise of the Resistance and Smugglers run all have jerky movements both side to side and vertically.

It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it's such a sleek next-generation wheel that you might not recognize its wheel-ness. Overall, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is a solid initial entry for Galaxy's Edge. Aside from hardcore Star Wars fans, this probably won't be the new favorite attraction of many guests.

DINOSAUR is an intense ride. It doesn't go upside down, but it is bumpy, jerky, fast (at times), mostly in the dark, and overall pretty scary. This is definitely one that can scare young kids, and adults might find the movement strains their bodies just a bit.

Hijack a First Order transport train and steal a shipment of valuable coaxium. Ohnaka insists that this is all perfectly legal, so we won't question it. Behind Ohnaka, the Millennium Falcon is lowered from its position outside into the hanger bay to where you and your fellow crew will board the iconic spaceship.

It's not scary at all -- the biggest thing is motion sickness with the movements of the simulator. That being said, if you were OK with the old Star Tours, you'll be fine with the new one. If you do get scared from the visual effects, you can always close your eyes for the remainder of the ride.

Rise of the Resistance can be scary at times for kids, even ones who love Star Wars. The interactions with Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, and the First Order can be a bit intimidating. The ride itself can also be too much for some children, since some areas of the ride are dark and there is even a drop.

Tower of Terror includes sudden, fast drops in a dark, enclosed space which may be frightening to some guests. Also, if you bring any bags or backpacks with you, keep them closed and tucked securely between your feet. The drop sequences will cause them to shift around or fly up.

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is for guests 40? or taller. This height requirement means that most elementary school aged children and even some preschoolers will make the cut and be able to ride Rise of the Resistance.

There are four rides at Disney World with permanent single rider lines: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (Hollywood Studios), Millennium Falcon Smugglers Run (Hollywood Studios), Test Track (Epcot), and Expedition Everest (Animal Kingdom).

MORE DETAILS

Expedition Everest is the tallest attraction at Disney World, and its drop is the longest and most intense of the roller coasters.

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.
