Star Tours-The Adventures Continue is a 3D simulator attraction that takes guests on different Star Wars themed adventures from the films (ranging from the prequels, classic trilogy, and sequels). Since there are so many different variations of this ride, it's great for repeating so you can try a different experience. What's also noteworthy about this ride is the life size AT-AT situated right outside the entrance.

Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run gives guests the experience of piloting the iconic Millennium Falcon from the original trilogy and sequels. Six guests share a cockpit and are assigned one of three roles including pilot, engineer or gunner. This ride simulator can be smooth or bumpy depending on the quality of your pilot!
