Galaxy’s Edge delays ‘Star Wars’ ride until 2020

Star Wars fans are going to have to wait a bit longer for the opening of the highly-anticipated "Rise of the Resistance" ride. The immersive experience is set to take over Disney World in Orlando on Dec. 5, 2019, (which also happens to be Walt Disney's birthday), but won't land in Anaheim's Disneyland until Jan. 17, 2020.

The new addition to the parks' Galaxy's Edge was announced in May 2019 and initially expected to open by the end of 2019. Given that the Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run space flight simulator is currently the only Star Wars themed ride open at Galaxy's Edge, some park-goers are a tad disappointed. "These are not the dates we're looking for," a disgruntled fan cleverly wrote on Twitter.

Earlier this year, Galaxy's Edge's executive producer Jon Georges told ABC News, that the Rise of the Resistance ride will feature an "epic battle between the First Order and the Resistance and culminates in a face-to-face confrontation with Kylo Ren." The experience promises to "blur the lines between fantasy and reality," transporting guests from the "Ready Room" to the cockpit of a transport ship. As the ship begins to "fly", the floors will shake to simulate the sensation of takeoff. Later, guests will be separated and thrown into "jail cells" for questioning. From there, it's every man for himself to evade the First Order.

It's easy to see why fans are eagerly anticipating the ride, which CEO Bob Iger also called "the most technologically advanced and immersive attraction" the park has ever seen. To stay updated on this and other rides, check out the Disney Parks blog.
