Overview
- Disney announced last year that Smugglers Run will add a Mandalorian and Grogu experience, new destinations, choose-your-own missions, and upgrades for Gunners and Engineers.
- The ride’s original design gave pilots outsized control while leaving other positions to sporadic button presses.
- Josh D’Amaro, who is set to become Disney’s CEO, is quoted as saying the attraction is liked rather than loved.
- Harvard Business Review reporting says D’Amaro pushed Imagineering to create a solution so every rider can actively participate.
- The coverage describes planned improvements without specifying a rollout schedule or completion timeline.
