Step into the Star Wars universe and prepare for an unforgettable adventure aboard the iconic Millennium Falcon. As you enter the attraction, you'll find yourself in the bustling Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu, fully immersed in the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of a galaxy far, far away. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join a crew of smugglers led by the opportunistic Hondo. Your objective: to steal the valuable resource coaxium from the First Order. Your ship: the legendary Millennium Falcon. After the pre-show, you'll step inside the famous cockpit, where every switch, lever, and control panel is at your fingertips. The attraction features a highly interactive and immersive experience. Each member of your crew is assigned a specific role—pilot, gunner, or engineer—and the success of your mission depends on how well you work together.

Once aboard the Millennium Falcon, you'll navigate through a series of thrilling scenarios and encounters. As Pilots, you'll steer the ship, dodge obstacles, and engage in daring maneuvers. Gunners will fend off enemy attackers, while Engineers repair any damage sustained during your adventure.

The outcome of your mission is influenced by your crew's performance. Every decision and action you take will have consequences, making each ride unique and exciting.

The attraction combines cutting-edge technology with breathtaking visuals and realistic motion simulation to transport you into the Star Wars universe. From the moment you take control of the Millennium Falcon to the epic conclusion of your mission, you'll be fully immersed in a thrilling and immersive experience like no other.

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run is an absolute must-visit for Star Wars fans and adventurers of all ages. It offers the opportunity to step into the shoes of legendary smugglers and create your own Star Wars story.

While Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run offers an exciting and immersive experience, there are some elements that children or individuals prone to motion sickness may find intense. Here are a few factors to consider:

Motion Simulation: The attraction utilizes a motion simulator platform that recreates the movements and sensations of piloting the Millennium Falcon. The experience includes rapid accelerations, sharp turns, and simulated turbulence. You will get jostled in your seat. Those who are sensitive to motion or prone to motion sickness should exercise caution.

Interactive Controls: As part of the crew, each guest is assigned a specific role and interacts with the control panels in the cockpit. Depending on the assigned role, guests may need to press buttons, pull levers, or manipulate the controls during the ride. This level of interactivity, combined with the motion simulation, can add an additional layer of intensity for some individuals.

Visual Effects and Surrounding Environment: The attraction features immersive visuals on a large screen, complemented by surrounding audio effects. The combination of the fast-paced action, realistic visuals, and the sensation of being in the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon can be overwhelming for young children or individuals who have difficulty adjusting to rapid visual changes.

Loud Noises: This attraction is loud, between the music, the sound effects of flying, shooting, and occasionally crashing, and of course, Hondo shouting instructions to the crew. There are frequently alarms blaring from different corners of the ship. The overall effect is quite immersive, but may be overwhelming for individuals sensitive to loud noises.
