Probably skipping both but before I rule them out, can someone compare them or tell me which is rougher? Or are either not too bad? Any description is helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for asking. Looking to read replies. No more Star Tours for us. Would like to try the other.Probably skipping both but before I rule them out, can someone compare them or tell me which is rougher? Or are either not too bad? Any description is helpful. Thanks!
^^This! We rode with a child flying left pilot once. This kid was no more than four. It was rough, and I ended up spending most of the ride staring at the gunner buttons and then another 30 minutes sitting and sipping water to regain a sense of normalcy.I actually think MFSR has the *potential* to be rougher depending on who’s flying it. Star Tours has never bothered me, and MFSR usually doesn’t, but one time there was a small child flying who made a sudden turn that twisted my back.
"Rougher" is subjective, but I would vote for Star Tours.Probably skipping both but before I rule them out, can someone compare them or tell me which is rougher? Or are either not too bad? Any description is helpful. Thanks!
Agree. Kids are horrible pilots and the ride is much more bumpy with them. If you get a good pilot, I would stay Star Tours is bumpier.For Millennium Falcon it really depends on the pilots. If they are rookies and they are continually nose diving, then Smugglers Run can be much rougher than Star Tours. I really don't find either one to be super rough personally, but having ridden both a ton of times, I still feel that Smugglers Run is a bit rougher overall though because it's a much smaller cockpit so you really feel the movement much more. My wife won't ride it any more due to motion sickness, but loves riding Star Tours.
Thanks. For me, I'm not concerned of motion sickness, but I have to be careful of rough rides that have too many bumps. Also need to avoid roller coasters but I know MF or Star Tours are not in that category."Rougher" is subjective, but I would vote for Star Tours.
However, I think "rough" is a bit strong for these rides. I have had "rougher" commercial airline flights.
What bothers some people on these attractions is the illusion of movement created by the screens working in combination with the movement.
Soarin and Flight of Passage are older examples.
The use of screens mixed with movement is a big trend in ride design, so hopefully, you can handle these. You never know until you ride one, though.
My 17 is hoping to be pilot, but he's never driven a plane before so can't say if he'd be good....lol.Agree. Kids are horrible pilots and the ride is much more bumpy with them. If you get a good pilot, I would stay Star Tours is bumpier.
I'm sure he will be fine - need to be able to follow basic directions.My 17 is hoping to be pilot, but he's never driven a plane before so can't say if he'd be good....lol.
