Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance comprises four ride systems: the IT-S transport, the trackless First Order Fleet Transports, a motion base that the transport vehicle drives onto as it enters the escape pod, and a drop shaft that creates the effect of dropping from the Star Destroyer. The last three ride systems all work together, as you remain seated within the transport vehicle during each of those sequences.
That makes Rise of the Resistance one of the more, if not the most, technically complex theme attraction systems ever developed.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opens December 5 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Florida and on January 17, 2020 at Disneyland in California.
