Of course it’s that smart, after the ridiculous cost in building it. It wouldn’t that be difficult to programme and the last thing Disney want is people taking advantage of the system, especially when they’re expecting rooms to be on short supply for Star Wars opening.
I at one point was considering cancelling my reservation and was told that my FP would also be cancelled. At this point it was within the 30 day window and nothing I had selected was available.
This pst hasn't aged well, as Disney is announcing TODAY that they are going to start doing this, meaning it was not done in the past.
ANd those loopholes HAVE to be fixed before the SWGE nightmare begins.
Ahhh, the days I would put in a WDW hotel key from a previous year stay, and still get FPs with it. That was nice.
I was reading yesterday that the people in the Disney call centers would often tell people that their fastpasses would be cancelled BUT the My Disney Experience didn't do it automatically, so they remained good even if the room was cancelled . They were saying the call center people don't have a good grasp of the often confusing fastpass ins and outs and often give out information that doesn't actually 'compute'. Lots of loopholes in the system, which CM's especially, take advantage of.
Rumored drop has been confirmed by Disney’s height restrictions for the ride.
We basically sorted that out a couple of weeks ago here on IU that it was not a 28 minute ride, the 28 minutes was the cumulative time of the queue pre show areas, pre shows, and ride, or as some called it 'The Experience'. Kind of old news around here. ....as always, we're ahead of the curve on IU. :thumbsup:Tour the 'Rise of the Resistance' ride inside Disney Parks' 'Galaxy's Edge' | EW.com
EW has also gotten confirmation of that the rumors of the intial runtime, were skewed.

Listening to all those names being thrown around for both rides, I was confused as all hell. Unless you're a hard core recent fan, those ride casts are completely 'alien' and unfamiliar. That may be problematic for the general public that's not into the new Star Wars stuff. Great for the hardcore recent SW movies fans though, I'd guess.That said, the big things at-least lie with one particular thing..that there's more than screaming Weasley and Buff Kylo for actors.
In other news, here's how Robert Niles is describing the ride: "A motion-base dark ride that will take new Resistance recruits aboard a First Order Star Destroyer, from which they will have to elude Kylo Ren and General Hux, then escape back to Black Spire Outpost. The 11-minute ride will include two animatronics and multiple screens, with extensively decorated pre- and post-ride scenes."
That's... extremely incorrect, right?
And the way he phrases that entire sentence is almost like he's trying to deliberately be a wet blanket. "Hey, it's got SCREENZ, everyone!"
The articles today quoted the imagineers as saying its the longest ride in the Disney in their collection. Maybe they misspoke, considering how long Disneyland's PoTC is. Or maybe they mean including the pre-shows.Only the Diznoids think only Universal uses screens. Disney has a lot of screen rides being built. Their supposed masterpiece is nothing but a screen. And the NRJ has screens and projections throughout.
I think the bigger leak here, and one I'm not suprised by, is that the only AAs besides storm trooper are Kylo and Hux. Probably a couple of each. Then a crapload of Troopers. I still bet only a handful will be top tier AAs, just like Shanghai Pirates, which is full of screens too.
The 11 minute comment is preposterous. Disney hasn't built a ride close to that long in decades. What, maybe Pirates in Paris? A non omni-mover or boat ride will never be 11 minutes long. They'd need 70-80 ride vehicles that aren't cheap. Plus long rides are slow rides. There will never be some in your face, action packed, dark ride that lasts 11 minutes. It's just not happening.
I really want this ride to be awesome, and the land, but I just think Disney is really laying it on thick. They still mentioned the guy you can barter with today. What, will you need a FP to get into the barter line?
Good, so it’s not just me being misquoted on ride length lol.The articles today quoted the imagineers as saying its the longest ride in the Disney in their collection. Maybe they misspoke, considering how long Disneyland's PoTC is. Or maybe they mean including the pre-shows.
and....now even Scott goes to "The Dark (Flip) Side" ut:.....and length wise, since there's just two AA's, I'm thinking there's going to be one or two 'real long' stops in front of a screen ,simulator style, and a number of shorter screen stops.I think it’s time to leave this thread. It’s getting a bit too spoilery for my liking and I want to go into this knowing as little as possible.
See ya’ll on the flip side in the review thread.
