Star Wars' Rise of the Resistance ride opens today in Orlando, Florida. CNNTravel got a sneak peak.
But also know that the attraction's thrills can't be spoiled by reading a review of it. Even a really great roller coaster with a plot is still a great roller coaster.
To enter Rise of the Resistance, you sneak behind a waterfall and through the long tunnels of a Resistance encampment. If the line runs slowly, fans will have time to savor close up views of rebel flight suits, helmets, macrobinoculars and the breath masks found on the Millennium Falcon.Once you enter the camp, you are now a recruit.
When the same doors of your transport reopen -- how'd they do that? -- you're not in Batuu anymore, Toto. The haranguing continues in your cell block. General Hux will nearly spit when he calls you"Resistance scum," and then Kylo Ren arrives to use the Force to excavate the location of the rebel base from your brain. Lucky for you, he's distracted by an impending battle and runs off.An R5-J2 Imperial astromech droid-driven transport is your escape vehicle off a Star Destroyer.Stand clear, someone is lasering through the side of your cell block.
