Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

[belloq87]

Hearing some things that make me doubt this ride is going to be anywhere near ready to open on December 5.

On the other hand, Martin's saying with some confidence that the ride is all but ready to go at this moment.

Well, guess we're going to find out one way or another come December.

 

[Evan]

I mean... they aired a special on national television and reiterated both dates... I think it’s opening.

People will ride December 5th just as people rode on July 8th for Gringotts.

I have heard that they my blow past the 5th but the 20th is the "drop dead" date. It will open by the 20th no matter what.

Of course, that’s still Fall.

Opening with a Christmas week stress test? Bold strategy, Cotton, let's see how it pays off.

With a quasi-operational ride. It should go swimmingly.

If you don't mind my asking, about how long ago did that info come from. Not too long ago, I was told of a "breakthrough" of sorts. While I do expect this ride to have its share of issues, as of a few days ago, I have reason to believe that this launch will go way smoother than most are expecting.

About 2 weeks ago.

To be fair, it doesn’t matter; September 12th or December 25th will have ops running nonstop and would make no difference on the ride system or ops staff. It’s not like this thing was going to be running half full or without a massive queue when it opened.

The only difference will be the length of the queue.

Potentially longer park hours, a staff that is physically/mentally exhausted, and instead of a crowd of CMs who would praise If You Had Wings 2.0 as the GOAT, a crowd of Karens who spent $20k on this vacation and now have to tell their special snowflake he can't ride the new ride.

To be fair, if I spent thousands on a trip just to check out a ride, they said it would open a certain day, and discover the hard way it's not open, I would be a little salty.

There is nothing worse than riding a brand new attraction and have it sh*t the bed midway through. Sadly, this seems to be the new normal with Disney.

To be fair this is not new at all for either Disney or Universal. Test Track was delayed two years and had many issues the opening year. IJA was a mess its opening summer and had queues through the park (sound familiar?) Only ride to open with minimal issues was Mission:Space because they gave it a full summer of test and adjust.

Smugglers Run literally opened to no operational problems.

Because it has four carousels with several pods on each. I've heard they've had several pods go down in one day.

sure... but did anyone notice?

You mean they created a ride with high capacity?!?
