General overview is, the new land will include two new attractions and some shops and dining locations with cast members dressed as aliens/in character workers. Rumors of roaming AI driven droids inhabiting the area are also going around.
The two rides are:
Battle Escape Attraction (what I am calling it, not official name): An attraction featuring a battle between First Order stormtroopers and Resistance fighters using a trackless ride system (similar to Antartica at SeaWorld) that will mix live-action sets with screen-based backdrops to create an immersive experience.
Millennium Falcon Attraction: A ride where we get to pilot the Millennium Falcon ourselves.
I haven't read through that other thread yet, but it's looking to me like the Millennium Falcon attraction will be like across between
The Sum of All Thrills roller coaster simulator ride on a Kuka arm from Epcot's Innoventions - crossed with the screen portions of
Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, where you're on a Kuka arm, on a ride vehicle, on a track, going around a circle of track. The biggest difference from those attractions being, we may have some say in what is happening on the ride, in real time, by controlling (at least some aspects) of the spaceship while riding it.
Anyone want to add to/correct anything I said? I'm still learning about these rides myself.
