Falcon vs Banshee?

[SgtTibbs]

I'm just back from Pandora and experienced flying on the back of a Banshee.

It makes me wonder, is the "Millennium Falcon" attraction going to use the same setup? It would seem to make sense. The marketing for Flight of Passage talked about being able to fly a banshee around Pandora pretty much the same language used to describe the Falcon attraction. Flip out the mechanical bull seats for cockpit seats, change the film and you are all set.

Or is this old news and I'm just slow to catch on?

It might use similar tech but the Millenium Falcon will use a cockpit for 5-6 people and each will have a job. The jobs will also mean something and if you do a poor job flying that's going to affect your ride experience.

Now I'm hoping they don't group 6 seats in a row banshee style and call it a cockpit.

So sort of a mix between FoP and Mission Space (though, MS taken up like 3 levels of quality/complexity)?

Any word if the Falcon ride will have different missions to increase re-ridabiliyt? Or will it be more re-ride it to try out different actions/improve your performance?

Haven't hard anything about different missions but it will have the aspect of your performance as a flight crew.

No, they will be much more like the actual Falcon cockpit. They will also load on the same level, they will be on a turn table and will load one at a time, sort of like an omni-mover.

Looking at the ride building, Battle Escape could also us

Good to hear. Two new/unique attractions would be "take my money" worthy.

Don't know how I feel about this. I feel like some people would get annoyed if someone wasn't doing a good "job" and they get a bad ending or whatever. At least with Mission Space nothing really happens if you don't push the buttons lol

And many others feel this is a bad thing that nothing happens whether you push a button or not.

It kind of sounds like the new Star Trek VR game that just came out, which is pretty exciting. I'd rather spend lots of money to crew the Falcon than spend lots of money on a VR set.

Being in with other people (aka strangers to our child with ASD) and having other people possibly in control would not work for him. Test Track is a nightmare if they sit a single rider with us 3.
