Praise the Lord for not posting TPR vids, although he is a friend of Attractions.
Lots of great videos from Attractions
And MiceChat has a not-so-great review of Smuggler's Run.
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Review
From my background, I always pay more attention to body language than what people say. If you watch the body language of the 5 Falcon riders in the Attractions video, they basically confirm what you are saying........It'll be interesting to see the reactions of the older Disney crowd that really loves Flight of Passage, how they will take to this ride at DHS. Methinks they won't be overly enthusiastic.The reactions - positive and negative - to Smuggler's Run are throwing into stark relief just how much the pilot roles are really the only prime spots on the ride. Everybody else is relegated to pushing flashing buttons. I had hoped that maybe they had found a way to allow the gunners to actually do the targeting (via, perhaps, small displays off to the side), but apparently it's just "push the glowing button when Hondo yells at you to."
I'm quite confident that if I don't get the pilot position, I'm just going to flick the "Autopilot" switch and just attempt to enjoy the ride as Star Tours 2.o in a very cool ride vehicle.
Yep. Same here. Without using any controls it could be a decent Star Tours 2.0 experience. I do like that ride......Due to the interactivity, I'm guessing that this will be a ride the younger crowd loves...and the middle aged to older crowd is meh about.I'm quite confident that if I don't get the pilot position, I'm just going to flick the "Autopilot" switch and just attempt to enjoy the ride as Star Tours 2.o in a very cool ride vehicle.
I think the extra “muchness” is something that can likely be toned down at some point, though.I stand by my original 2 points.
It may suffer from too much muchness.
It should’ve opened with Resistance.
