Finn is an AA. On the front facing he’s at the wall to the left.We rode last Wednesday, Feb 5. It went down while we were in line in the morning and we got FPs to return, we used them at around 11:30 when it went up again and didn’t have any wait for the first preshow. I just now watched a full ride through by blogmickey, and have a few random thoughts on the ride.
1. we were completely rushed off of the transport ship and through the huge hangar in the Star destroyer. I took a few photos as we walked, but no one stopped for photos or even dawdled. Then we just waited in the hall for maybe 10-15 min before being put into the colored groups and into the interrogation room. I wish we could have spent some of that time in line really looking around the Star destroyer. It was amazing, and on the ride through I watched people were milling around and taking some photos. I hope next time I can notice more, I think that room and the AT-AT room were the ones that really wowed me the most.
2. When they put us on the colors on the floor prior to the interrogation room they really stressed, over and over again, to remember our color (in character). Based on some other comments I gather people were not following color when they got into the vehicles, they must be trying to stop that.
3. We rode in the opposite vehicle from the one I saw on the video, I wasn’t sure I would remember but it wasn’t that hard once I saw the POV, it came back to me. We were up front for the probe droid and went up the elevator in front of an AT AT, not beside it.
4. I completely missed seeing Finn when we rode. Is he an AA or an actor? On the video he looked real, but I’m wondering if they would have a CM there all the time or if it was just a pretty good AA.
5. I think we didn’t have the full version of the very last Kylo Ren. I might be just misremembering, but it seems to me that he just kind of turned toward us but in the video he got nearly sucked out of the ship after a hole was blasted into my the side of the ship. Is that possible? I don’t see how I would have missed or forgot that entire scene but maybe I did. Is it possible he just stood there and turned toward us? Is there a video somewhere of alternatives to that scene when it isn’t working fully?
6. There were so many details I missed, I really want to ride again just to have time to look around and see things both again and things I didn’t see at all. I just found out we might come back in April, so I hope I can ride again then.
7. while I was amazed by it and loved it, I kind of wish they had built an equally amazing thrill ride. After we rode my kids and I discussed whether we liked this or Hagrid’s best, since we just got to ride that in December and it has similar breakdown issues and is the newest ride there that is said to be amazing. My oldest son actually said he likes this Better, I can’t decide. They’re just different. I liked Hagrids for the....funness (I know that isn’t a word) of the ride, I liked this for the amazingness of the ride. I’m not sure I can choose. Based on one ride each I’m going to say I had more sheer fun on Hagrid’s, but was awed by this. Both were great though.
The rushing through the hanger is part of the show and functional in that they need to get you out of that room before the next ship arrives.
