The interactive experiences builds on the “live your own Star Wars story” that was promised for the new land and utilizes the upgrade new MagicBand+ technology. After a guest enters a theme park, MagicBand+ will come alive at various times with color-changing lights, haptic vibrations and gesture recognition, enhancing the environment’s storytelling.
