There’s plenty to explore in this fascinating episode of Behind The Rides, but our focus takes us to the stars and the 10 minute 54 second mark where the episode takes a closer look at Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, which as we heard this week is getting an upgrade on 22nd May 2026 when The Mandalorian & Grogu lands in cinemas across the globe.
This episode takes you behind the scenes to see how rides come to life, including an inside look at Stark Flight Lab coming to Avengers Campus at Disney California Adventure, new details about one of the Cars-themed attractions coming to Frontierland at Magic Kingdom, and a sneak peek at the “Monsters, Inc.” rollercoaster heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Plus, hear what it was like to build attractions for the opening of Disneyland Park, which will be celebrating its 70th Anniversary this year as Disney Legend and former Imagineer Bob Gurr shares his insights and favorite memories.
