Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

[Alicia]

By Disney's recent standards, it's supposed to have pretty good capacity. 2,000+ per hour if reports are to be believed.

I know the interior queue will be able to hold a maximum of 1029 people, according to certificate of occupancy (and that's not including any outside extended queue areas).

Any idea how that compares to other recent mega-attractions at either resort? Flight of Passage, Gringotts, Forbidden Journey? Just trying to get a frame of reference!

No clue, but sounds like a lot to me.

Another question that might take us REALLY deep into the weeds: do we know how Disney defines the queue? Everything up to the preshows? Including the preshows and up to the moment we board the ride?

Spoiler: Ride Question

"While on their way through the galaxy, the ship will be captured by the First Order. This will force the ship to land inside of a First Order Star Destroyer hangar.

This is where the main storyline of the attraction begins. Guests will exit the pre-show ship into a hangar. This will be one of the largest rooms of the entire building, complete with animatronic stormtroopers, TIE fighters and a picturesque view of space. Guests will be told to, “move along,” as they are taken to individual load rooms, themed to First Order prison cells." (Attractions Magazine)

How long do you think we'll be held in this area for? Do you think it'll be something similar to the hall of portraits in HM?

The biggest problem this land will have is people won't want to leave. It's not that the rides don't have decent capacity. But management knows that they've created something "too good" and nobody is going to want to leave the land once they get in.

Would it be realistic for Disney to have a separate admission ticket for GE? (Even if they did, I'm sure everyone would pay it)
I highly doubt they'd ever do this.

Yes, that small room is the second "preshow", so to speak. No clue how much time will be spent in there, or the transport shuttle to space, but couple them together along with the actual ride time and you got yourself 28 mins.

Early morning magic and after hours paid entry is a thing. I expect it to be an even bigger thing for this.

It should be very similar to your example. For such a big queue space, almost all of it will be entirely "for show". You should basically just walk across it. No switchbacks. Remember, the "big pre-show" is the Fastpass merge point.

They should have storm troopers poking you in the back with a blaster, "keep moving prisoner," the whole time.

Not physically (obviously lawsuits are a thing), but that's the idea. It's gonna be great.

As you exit the first preshow you should get handcuffed

@Alicia

Moment of truth. Are you more excited for GE or Harry Potter Coaster?

Oh hahaha.... hmmmm.

I think I will appreciate and enjoy the actual ride experience for Rise more... however, I will inevitably ride the Potter coaster more often and enjoy my time visiting it more than having to deal with going to Hollywood Studios.

So, in a vacuum, I think Rise may be more fun for me, but with the realities and logistics of visiting Disney in mind, I will enjoy Potter more.. That make sense?

I LOVE Flight of Passage, but it's such a pain to get on, or get a fastpass, so I enjoy things like Forbidden Journey with a single rider line more.

Same about FOP. Love the ride, but I think I’ve been on the ride only about 5 times or so (if that) and I live right down the street.

I've eaten at Satuli Canteen probably 10 times more than I've ridden the ride.

Great politician answer! lol jk

I know what you mean. Crowds are going to be INSANE for GE at least for a few years.

That's why I'm going to wait to go to DL until 2o2o perhaps during February or March mid-week. I'm avoiding Saturdays like the black plague!

Without watching, let me guess, he just talks about the Attractions magazine info for the whole video, right?
