Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

That’s why I originally compared that segment to Flight of Passage instead of mini Tower of Terror like everyone else ended up doing.

Flight of Terror.

It’s stuff we know. It’s all in how you count.

Here are my notes for my Galaxy’s Edge podcast episode in January. I have it listed as 5 ride systems, if you include the shuttle turntable preshow as one as well. Leaving 4 for the ride.

These notes were made before anyone was reporting on the drop sections, and most of the technical info came from my own sources and permits.

Massive spoilers I assume:

Yeah, it comes across a bit like the drop track for Hagrid's, but a much larger drop then that, not a large drop like ToT.

So, you're counting the RV (forward/backward) and its gimbal as two different systems? That's how I read this?

The trackless RV parks itself into multiple things at various points for additional features.

Isn’t that what’s caused a lot of issues?

I’m honestly so hyped for this.

 

[quinnmac000]

Hopefully they have alternative routes to get to things in cause elements break down because thats way too many ride systems and sounds like a complicated mess if one breaks down.

I don’t think strobe lights and disco Kylo Ren will fix it.

they're replaced with screenz

Rides like Earthquake, Skull Island, Tower of Terror, and lots more have been doing RVs that drive into other platforms or systems to add additional motion. Heck, Gringotts locks into a section of track that is itself literally a motion base, then continues on like it’s no big deal.

Of course, yea it’s more points of possible failure and could cause breakdowns, but so is having 7 coaster launches lol. Lots of things can go wrong on any ride.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Using Disney's definition then Tower of Terror and Haunted Mansion has two ride system. Gringotts would have three.

I get what they're going for but they're making it sound more complex than it really is. It's really well done and advanced versions of things Disney and Universal has done before, all wrapped up into one package. It's more about the illusion than how its done, so if guests walk away wondering how it was all done then that's what matters.

Great point. This is exactly what I'm excited about. I feel the seamless transition between these different systems is where Disney is pushing the ceiling. If they can pull that off in parallel with the exciting action packed story. Damn, I'll be excited to see the results

If we can have 2 AAs have a lightsaber battle ill die more than happy

Based on the details I've read, I don't think that's happening. I don't believe any other Jedi's will be aboard the ship. Of course I could be wrong.

Ya I didn't expect it, but ya never know.

I can't believe they'd save the screenz for the finale, hoping that doesn't diminish the overall ride.

They'll be plenty of screenz along the way lol

 

[Evan]

Reminder, screens are not the issue. They have their place and use, if done right. The issue is parks with screen density, aka lack of attraction diversity.

Now back to the screenz thread we go.
