Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

[JoeCamel]

Park just opened at 6:20. Got to the park later than I wanted at about 5:50.

EDIT: Got Boarding Group 73.

So you go take a nap for 5 hours.....

Oh trust me, I did (especially since I was at MK until midnight last night and got only 3.5 hours or so of sleep)

Heading back to the park now since it’s getting close to my boarding group.

Hi so I’m debating going to ride rise of the resistance on Friday. I have a 2am showing for the rise of skywalker which should have me getting out of the theater at 5ish and into the park around 5:30-6. Is this to late to be able to get a boarding pass?

Assuming crowds are on par with this weekend's crowds, you should be fine. Hard to predict how crazy things may be 5 days before Christmas though. Worth a shot at the very least. Would be a unique way to experience it for sure and you'd probably have some time to nap before your ride.

Perhaps we need a waits/uptime/boarding group thread for this as well?

Just got off of Rise for my second ride. I was on the opposite side of the ride this time which threw me off a bit. It’s truly amazing how many new details I noticed this time. The front row is a superior experience imo.

Also, even having been on the ride already, I still got chills at THAT moment.

This is something I’ve thought about since so much of this thread has turned into that talk.

Nice write-up in Fortune, featuring an incredible quote:

On the ParkStop podcast, guest Peter Tedone described Rise as “if Great Movie Ride was on cocaine, times a million.”​

Question: With the amount of Animatronics that are pivotal to the experiece, do they have contingencies if one goes down or does it shut the ride down completely?

IMO, the only Animatronics being down that could put a big damper on the experience is Pre-Show Beck and Finale Kylo.

And if Beck is down in one Shuttle, they could just not load one, still leaving two in rotation, right?

 

[Nick]

I’d argue the first Kylo and Hux would put a damper if they were down, albeit not nearly as much as finale Kylo.

Hux would be fine down because he doesn’t face the vehicles, but that Kylo needs to be up imo. I also think the probe droid should be running at all times because that corner of the ride would make no sense without it operating

Well they have run the ride with the probe droid down so I guess they figure that one is not critical.

I've also seen videos where it's stuck "up".

 

[Blaw923]

Based off the position and mounting of all the primary AAs, I wouldn't be surprised if they had back up redundant AAs. Similar to how Navi River Journey has two Shamen AAs that are fairly easy to swap in and out for each other.

Yup. It was stuck the first time I rode. I was definitely confused at that point since I hadn't watched any POVs/didn't know what to expect going in.

In case there was any doubts, there’s definitely not a queue in the hangar right now. Reveal just as impressive as always. I’m sure sometimes it backs up, but definitely not a new procedure.
