Do it right and Chewie will be yelling at you for five minutes. Kind of like using the shift key on a keyboard.įinally, be sure you've done this BEFORE the cast member finishes checking your seatbelts (pull the yellow thingy) and he hits his "ok to go" button.Īnd that's it. Once you've done that, hit your activation button.Įngineers and Gunners need to hit one of the white buttons on their console before hitting the orange activation button. Left and right pilots need to push their controls to the extreme left/right or extreme up/down. Either way, it's unbelievably interesting that this exists and I'm hoping there's more out there.Ĭurious to do it yourself? According to FreshBaked Disney, here are the steps to unlock Chewbacca Mode:įirst and foremost, do not activate your position right away like you normally do. I love the idea of secret hacks within this ride, especially to boost its video-game-like qualities, but I just wish it was one that toyed with those pre-existing positions, maybe giving engineers and gunners something more to physically do. Me as a Single Rider Engineer, frantically explaining this to a family of five on vacation from Utah /e3laTuMnaA- EndorBOO! 👻 February 23, 2020 Or, as one of my favorite folks on Twitter put it:
(It's worth noting that you can't "request" the pilot position they're assigned and groups are left to switch among themselves.)Īs cool as Chewbacca mode sounds, I'm fearful that it may double down on this shortcoming.
Having a young child or confused adult or an annual passholder who's been on a dozen times and just wants to see what it's like to crash the ship at the helm feels distinctly un-Disney, granting guests who paid the same and planned the same significantly different experiences. Smugglers Run is the only attraction at Disney World that seemingly breaks those rules. Making the Floridian pilgrimage exclusively so your daughter can plunge through the elevator shafts of Tower of Terror? Book it with FastPass+ and it's all but certain you'll make it on board. Want to ensure your son will meet Cinderella? Nab a dining reservation for her Magic Kingdom restaurant and you can have him dream of that day without worry.

Pilot is so far superior not just because one of 'em gets to thrust the group into hyperspace, but because they truly, in the full sense of the word, control the collective experience.Īs I've written before, this is problematic because Walt Disney World is built on a digital system that guarantees visitors certain experiences, particularly those on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. If all three positions were equal, the forced teamwork could be both fun and virtuous - kind of like how the best way to beat Toy Story Mania's volcanic round is to explode the balloons in tandem - but they're not equal. If you happen to visit the parks with a group of six folks, Smugglers Run is a gloriously fun spire-skimming party, but visit with anything smaller and you'll likely be mashed up with another family. The switches are fun to play with, though!)
(I've sat in that seat a half-dozen times and. Each cockpit seats six people, split up into three occupations - Pilot, which is far and away the best assignment given that you steer the ship Gunner, who aimlessly shoots to break containers of coaxium loose and Engineers, who do lord knows what in the back row.
#Chewie make the jump to hyperspace simulator#
For those who have not yet had an opportunity to ride the new Millennium Falcon motion simulator at Disney World or Disneyland, the ride puts you inside Han Solo's famed hunk of junk for a mission to "collect" containers of something called coaxium.
