Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance – Now Open and Thrilling Guests at Disneyland Resort

From the far reaches of the galaxy, brought to life by Disney Imagineers, comes the Disneyland® Resort's newest blockbuster attraction: Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.

In 2019, Disneyland® welcomed guests to the Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu with the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, a massive 14-acre expansion. This immersive Star Wars land offers unique character encounters, themed dining and shopping, and the high-speed adventure of Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run. On January 17, 2020, it debuted its second flagship attraction.

A groundbreaking E-Ticket adventure: 4 rides in 1

The epic battle between the First Order and the Resistance rages on in Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Guests join Rey and fellow Resistance fighters on a top-secret mission that launches them off-planet. This 15-minute masterpiece delivers a fully immersive Star Wars saga, starting with a transport aboard the Intersystem Transport Ship through a breathtaking 360-degree ride experience.

Thrillingly, recruits soon find themselves captured by the First Order and marched onto a massive Star Destroyer, surrounded by 50 Stormtroopers—both stunning animatronics and live cast members. Escape the detention center, evade Kylo Ren, and race back to Batuu in a heart-pounding sequence featuring a trackless dark ride, advanced audio-animatronics, projections, and adrenaline-fueled elements.
