I avoided all spoilers before riding in Oct, (which was SO, so, so very stressful worrying about getting that BG,) Got BG 18. Must've been bad day for the ride though, as they didn't start boarding until 10:30ish, and BG called around noon, and I think they only got into the 60s. What I am realizing now that is that I think we completely missed the preshow. We did not get to see Rey's hologram, or anything from Poe, nothing like that. , so is the Rey hologram the preshow???? We're going back in Nov, and will try for BGs again, and hope we get on at least one of our HS days, and hope we get the full ride.
The first preshow is in a cave-like room with a BB8 animatronic, Rey's hologram, and Poe on the TV screen. Next is the large transport ship with the pilot animatronic (same species as Admiral Akbar) with Poe and some other pilots on the screen as you are caught in a beam from the Empire ship and pulled in. Then the giant hangar room with all the stormtrooper statues/animatronics. Then the interrogation / color assignments. Then the "holding cell" with video screen footage of Kylo and the wall being "cut through" by the rebels. And then finally on to the actual ride vehicles for the rest of the experience.
