Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run

When to ride

Average wait by hour, from 5,534 of our own observations of this ride while it was open, over 17 days.

Rope drop, evening, or single rider — the single rider queue is very effective here, though you lose any control over which role you get.

How the queue has changed

Its average posted wait was 59 minutes in 2019 and 28 in 2025–26 — down 53%. That is the 8th-longest average queue of the 12 attractions Queue-Times tracks at Hollywood Studios.

Open for 95% of park operating hours over Queue-Times' whole record, against a median of 90% for rides at Hollywood Studios; refurbishment closures count as closed. From Queue-Times’ published statistics, read 12 September 2026.

Is it accessible?

What it’s actually like

A screen-based simulator with mild tilting and shaking. No drops, no speed, no darkness of consequence. Motion sickness is more common here than the gentleness suggests, because you are looking at a screen while the cockpit moves independently.

Common questions

How tall do you have to be for Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run?

38 inches, the same as Slinky Dog Dash and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train — low enough that most of the family can ride.

Does Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run make you sick?

More often than its gentleness suggests. There are no drops, no speed and no darkness of consequence — but you are looking at a screen while the cockpit tilts and shakes, and that combination is what causes motion sickness rather than intensity.

Do you get to fly the Millennium Falcon?

One of six roles, assigned as you board — two pilots, two gunners, two engineers. Pilots have the most to do and the other four positions considerably less, so a group of six gets six quite different rides from the same five minutes.

Is the single rider queue worth it on Smugglers Run?

It is very effective on the wait, but you lose any control over which of the six roles you get — and the difference between piloting and engineering is most of the experience. Use it if you have ridden before and want another go, not for a first ride.
