Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run 🌌

For Star Wars fans, there are very few things cooler than walking into the Millennium Falcon and realizing you are about to fly it yourself. Smugglers Run turns guests into part of the story by assigning everyone an actual job inside the cockpit. Suddenly families become pilots, engineers, and gunners with everyone desperately trying to figure out what buttons to push. The attraction creates complete teamwork...or complete chaos depending on your crew 😅 The ride feels less like sitting back and watching and more like participating in a Star Wars mission yourself. 🚀⭐

Experience

Smugglers Run places guests directly inside the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon where every rider receives a role. Pilots steer, gunners fire weapons, and engineers scramble to keep everything running. Depending on how well your team works together, your mission can go very differently. The simulator moves alongside giant screens while your actions affect what happens around you. Some rides go smoothly. Others become complete disasters. Honestly, both can be equally fun.
