Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance (DHS)

[TDBLMT]

Does anyone know when Rise of the Resistance is set to open at WDW?

Secondly, has anyone heard specifics on what might be causing the delays? (AA malfunctions, ride vehicle issues, etc.)

The delay is to spread out crowds.

Nah

I'd say it's more likely that the delay was to spread out construction manpower, so they could open the rest of the land faster... likely because of course that Rise is/was having some difficulties that were causing delays.

So, Rise ride system issues take longer than they like + Blue Milk and Droid Depot could be ready sooner = Rise opens later, and let's move all these workers over to Smuggler's Run and get that open first.

My take anyway.

The implication by insiders is that it should be open by the end of the year at Hollywood Studios. But until we hear officially from Disney, we don't really know.

Nah

Yeah, while I haven’t been paying super close attention, I thought I had read they had a WiFi issue?

Editing this reply as to not spam the thread, but I did some digging on Magic and it sounds like it was a minor WiFi connectivity issue towards the end of the ride that caused the delay.

 

[MawtyB]

Nah

It might have been their intention but it won't work. Those that went on opening day will go again for this.

Not sure the real reason, but it’s not to spread out crowds.

 

[Clive]

Yeah in CA, the interior show sets have been done for months... this is a ride system issue.

One can only hope they see people delaying bookings and actually open this when it is ready but I imagine the mouse at best does the only top end passes get to go early thing again and suckers idiots with money to higher teir passes. Once those reservations taper off then they open it to normies.

In CA it was unintentional because of the issue, in FL it's completely intentional. Disneyland's should be up and running by D23 Expo.

Looks like I’ll try to hit WDW in Jan or Feb.

 

[kristenabelle]

Had a previously planned trip from 12/8 - 12/16. Very excited, but also a little crowd-terrified.

 

[belloq87]

I am certainly relieved by this news.

 

[fryoj]

I'm tickled that we put our trip off a year. That's the week we would have gone.

 

[Alicia]

Hopefully this means the August grand opening won't be as insane.

Disneyland really got the short end of the stick on this one...

Why? Isn't it opening there only a few weeks later... and they've had the whole land and first ride months before WDW.

 

[Blaw923]

I think its really bold to have mentioned a hard date for Disneyland at all. Should of gone with a hard date for WDW and mention Disneyland shortly after.

You think they would want to see some significant reliability cycling in WDW first. They can't afford to botch this any further.. well yeah they can afford it haha

Because it should've opened in Disneyland first since they started construction first. Now it seems like they are focusing more people and resources on getting it open in DHS since the opening in California didn't go as planned.
