Disney has updated the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run attraction in its theme parks. Passengers now choose between three planets to visit, and the engineer role includes taking care of Grogu. The screens have higher resolution and smoother performance, offering a more interactive experience closer to a video game for the whole family.
Unreal Engine 5 enhances immersion and performance of the attraction 🚀
The switch to Unreal Engine 5 allows for more detailed graphics and a stable frame rate during flight. Developers optimized loading times and control responsiveness. The planet selection adds variety to each session, while the interaction with Grogu in the engineer's cabin offers an extra layer of immersion without complicating gameplay. Everything runs on updated hardware.
Engineers now have the mission of not losing Grogu 👶
Before, the engineer only pressed buttons to repair the ship. Now they have a greater responsibility: preventing Grogu from touching dangerous levers or eating the controls. If the little green baby escapes, the entire crew hears his mocking laugh. Disney knows no one wants to explain to a child why they dropped the galaxy's most profitable character.
