How exciting! I can't wait to go in 2012!!!!!!

I've been obsessed with Star Wars since the day it came out and my Dad took me. WDW and Star Wars together should be a dream come true. I hope this version is better than the last, which disappointed me on some level.

I don't think you will be disappointed.

The crowds are incredible! Last night around 10pm I was at DTD buying a bday present for a friend and DHS was open til midnight. It was a NIGHTMARE driving on lake Buena vista drive anywhere near DHS. If wait times are accurate at 35 minutes I'm stunned and that must mean there's a whole lotta other stuff going on (parades, shows, etc) that has folks' attention

Joanna I'm surprised that that many rides didn't bother you too ! Wow! I was sitting at the Writer's Stop for a coffee after my ride last weekend and all of the sudden my head would just "tingle" or spin for a minute. It wasn't awful but my head definitely noticed just one ride!

Not that we're old Christine, but I know for sure that I have some years on Joanna. I USED to be able to ride and ride and ride. Not anymore.

We got to ride it last Wed night. With no wait. It was pretty cool. My DH went on it twice and experienced 2 diffrent story lines. He asked a cast member how many diffrent stories there are and she said 54 or 56 (sorry I can't remember). I don't know if she was pulling our leg or telling the truth b/c that seemed lik a whole lot.

I hear they have 5 (possibly 6) simulators currently running and that waiting times aren't too crazy for opening weekend.

How many simulators did they have running before the rehab? Perhaps they have greater capacity now. ???

[WDWfanatic742]

It's the same amount of simulators. There are six total, I know for sure 5 are running right now, don't know about the sixth.

For whatever reason when I was young my family never really went to MGM so I can't say for certain, but in the past I don't think they ran all of them at the same time. I've never seen it myself to be honest but I'm sure they did when it first opened.


Add in that:

• The ride has really good capacity
• Not everyone in the family can and will ride it
• Living down here in South Florida, I haven't seen a single advertisement on TV or anywhere for the ride
• It's not a brand new ride, just a refurbed one

I don't think the lines will be too crazy. I still think more people will line up for TSM first (Which I think is crazy but that's just me).

Also I think the sequence is 2-3-3-3. So there are four different sections. Two different sequences in the first section and three different sequences in the other three sections...

There are 54 possible combinations that can be sequenced together in 4 parts-

1.) Opening sequence (2 variations)
2.) Destination A (3 variations)
3.) Middle Sequence (3 variations)
4.) Final Destination/ending (3 variations)

So 2x3x3x3 = 54 (or if you draw it out as a tree, starting with 2 choices at the top and seeing that it can branch off amongst 3 variations at each point after, you'd find 54 total possible paths).

I think I was editing the 2-3-3-3 part in my post when you posted yours lol

[Stitch98]

If you wanted to experience all 54 possible variations (and you were assured that each time you rode you would experience a unique combination) it would still take you a bit over 6 hours to experience them all (and that is just taking into account the ride cycle time if you could ride back to back with no waiting in line)

Thank you for that interesting piece of information.

I can't wait to ride this in 45 days!!

Crazy kids and their rock music and 3-D simulator rides!!

It seemed everyone was surprised. But I didn't notice anything at all. I could have kept on riding, in fact!

We rode it twice on Friday! It was awesome. Got Darth Vader on both of our open sequences and got Princess Leia on our second trip. That was really helpful because my 5-year-old hated "being in space," PL was a nice distraction for her.
