Take a sneak peek at Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
Disneyland says the ride blurs the lines between fantasy and reality on a scale never seen before in a Disney attraction.

ANAHEIM, Calif. -- We're getting a sneak peak of the new Star Wars ride opening this Friday at Disneyland.



Disney guru Gregg Ziak rode the new "Rise of the Resistance" ride this past weekend and shared some video.



The theme park says the ride blurs the lines between fantasy and reality on a scale never seen before in a Disney attraction.



The attraction will take guests aboard a full-size transport shuttle before they are captured by a Star Destroyer and find themselves in the middle of a battle between the dark side of the First Order and the light side of the Resistance.



Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will bring guests face-to-face with some fan-favorite "Star Wars" characters, including Resistance heroes Rey, BB-8, Poe and Finn, as well as Kylo Ren and General Hux of the First Order.



Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opened to much anticipation on May 31, 2019. The new land made history as the largest single-land expansion ever at the Disneyland Resort.



It officially opens Jan. 17 as part of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland Park.



The Walt Disney Co. is the parent company of Disneyland Resort and this station.
