The art makes it look like a less compact and more interactive version of Mission: Space. My guess is that it'll be a pod on a motion stick, one of many.
It's honestly going to be closer to a more compact higher capacity version of Star Tours than mission space, there is no centrifuge involved.. Each simulator cabin is on a slow moving turntable to increase capacity (not unlike an omnimover). Imagine the dome screens moving slowing in a giant circle on FJ but that's essentially the entire ride and you are enclosed in the cabin of the falcon. I've been told that there are 28 Falcon cockpits (6 seats per) being built for this ride so it'll be a capacity monster.
I've heard they'll be on a turntable as well. I assume there will be two each with 16 cockpits (to allow for double loading)?
This is replacing the eastern gateway project apparently. I guess Anaheim forced them to go this route.
Robert Niles (Theme Park Insider) is saying this will probably limit the ability of DCA to do a significant Marvel expansion into the Tram parking area, which was going to go away if the Eastern Gateway Project happened. And ESPN Zone, Rainforest restaurant, Movie Theaters and a couple of small stores will leave to make way for the hotel.................. So, the Marvel expansion at DCA may end up smaller than anticipated, if it even happens at all. And maybe this is why a Marvel announcement at D23 was pulled at the last moment.

Replacing or just speeding up? This was obviously already planned. I just wonder if this was going to happen now anyways or if the Eastern gateway deal just got this fast tracked.
I meant this whole project they just announced is currently replacing the Eastern Gateway Project. Disney said that they will be raising the hotel that was on the Eastern Gateway property within the month, but the project is cancelled in this form.No this was always planned. The new parking structures going in Simba and Pincochio are replacing the Eastern Gateway.
