In less than 24 hours, the most anticipated ride of the Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge theme park in Disney World will be opening. We’re talking about Star Wars: Rise of The Resistance. People visiting the Orlando Theme Park get a chance to jump on the ride a full month before it opens in Disneyland. Today, Walt Disney Co. has unveiled a series of new images from the attraction, including a new look at the Kylo Ren animatronic and the BB-8 animatronic. We’ve already had a chance to ride the Millennium Falcon ride at Disney World and it was better than we could have imagined. We can’t wait till we get a chance to come up against a platoon of First Order Soldiers and a pair of life-sized AT-ATs.
Estimated wait times for the ride are currently slightly shorter than watching the 10 existing Star Wars films.
