↩ replying to lentestaI hope they do guest satisfaction surveys comparing those put through the single rider queue vs the full experience, as I'd suspect that first-time riders who are put through the singer rider queue have a MUCH lower satisfaction with the experience (which comports with the differences in ride reviews between people who used the single rider line vs the full queue on their first ride).
Smuggler's Run is designed to be a holistic experience - with the "Falcon's lobby" and "ride" as the last scenes - much like the Tower of Terror. Imagine if your first experience on the Tower of Terror were, say, entering the boiler room through the chicken exit instead of seeing the gardens, lobby, pre-show, etc. - that's not the Tower of Terror. And imagine if you weren't even fully aware of how much you were missing - you'd misjudge the attraction accordingly.

↩ replying to Marc Davis FanThe queue is only a bit interesting if you are stuck in a wait that allows all the effects to be triggered. That slow moving conga line isnt IMHO worth the button slapping (or for the two in front lever pushing) screen show that follows. At one time the credits and other experiences were to have been part of a larger reputation economy of the land, but as usual most of that was left in the dust.

Just close it down and just move the superior Star Tours over there. Always a disappointment.

↩ replying to AndyS2992Star Tours hasn't been superior since they unveiled The Adventure Continues. It has a fantastic queue that GE should have learned from, but the ride experience has been mediocre for awhile.

↩ replying to The Sorcerers AprenticeThey should make the engineer role just be passengers for people that prefer to lay back.

↩ replying to Professortango1Still better than Smugglers Run

↩ replying to coffeefanThis is genuinely why engineer is my favorite role, it’s a front-row seat to chaos
I don’t love gunner but tbh still easily prefer sitting gunner to riding Star Tours II. still don’t understand the love for it

↩ replying to DarkMetroid567I agree. I don't mind all of the roles but I think I prefer the engineer as I get to see the entire cabin experience. It doesn't bother me in the slightest if the pilots are terrible as if anything it's more fun. In fact I've been less satisfied when I've been the pilot and done an amazing job (if I may say so myself) and the supporting gunners and engineers have been really bad at their tasks.

↩ replying to coffeefanIf the guest doesn't touch anything, the role becomes automatic. So, laying back is an option and it doesn't harm the success of the mission.
At the end of the night one time, I had a ship all to myself. So, I was the right pilot. The rest of the roles happened automatically. Got 2 coaxiums.
Think about that. The default is the victory condition of 2 coaxiums with no human intervention. Which means every time a ship got only one coaxium, it was due to human error.

↩ replying to mickEbluI'll take Star Tours' queue with MF's preshow and ride.
It's partly due to how far Star Tours has fallen from the original experience. It's just sad. I rarely even bother riding it anymore whereas I ride MF once per trip.

↩ replying to lentestaI wonder if they were testing this at the back in the beginning of December, that might explain why there were calling for
"singles" in the single rider line when I rode it.

↩ replying to MisterPenguinThat's great to know. They should tell guests that the "droids" will take over if they prefer to sit and watch.

The test is simply done or it's probably gone permanently.
