Widely considered the most ambitious theme park attraction ever built, Rise of the Resistance is a multi-phase experience combining a dark ride, trackless ride system, walk-through, and drop sequence. You're captured by the First Order and must escape a Star Destroyer with the help of the Resistance. The experience begins with a full-size AT-AT and Kylo Ren animatronics before boarding trackless vehicles for a chaotic escape. The scale is unprecedented — you'll walk through a Star Destroyer hangar bay with TIE fighters overhead. Allow 18+ minutes for the full experience.
