Now i want to know the function of a rotating arm thing attached to a turret. The turret appears completely stationary as the axis and the arm thing would rotate 360 degrees around interlocked into the side of the turret. It appears thd turret rotates the armament on its own? I cant really imagine a way the rotating arm somehow moves the true turret portion. So whats the movable crawler arm for?

There's a satellite dish on the end of the arm...

Indeed, with the play app, that is one of the places to listen in on a transmission.

So to adjust the dish the entire thing needs to spin around? Vs just having a small motor at the dish itself? I guess its creative

I imagined it as the whole thing can be folded up to be transported or repaired and then unfolded again into it’s proper arrangement, which is how it’s set up at the moment.

Didn't say it made sense.

Perhaps it's some kind of cover/shield for personnel, ammo or equipment. Or perhaps bracing against gun turret recoil? I'd have to look at it in person.

Word was passed down to me (through the lovely game of telephone, so take with grain of salt) that WDW is working around the clock and their goal is Dec 1st or 2nd to be completed. Doesn't give them much time. Unless they just have cast only riding for practice before then.

... I believe it for sure... gonna be down to the wire... Dec 5th should be a nightmare ( I really hope not, but...)

From my Bothan spy contacts, GE West is still working hard on the RotR ride vehicles. I can't specify what they are working on (nothing to do with ADA conversions) but it takes about 6-8 hours (almost a full shift) per car to do what they are doing to them. Still got about 18 cars to go, last I heard.

How many of them died to bring you this information?

So worst case scenario that's 144 hours, or only 6 days. This thing ought to be ready by Thanksgiving

It would be quite embarrassing to disinvite the press for their press day for which invites have been sent.

I think at this point they’d settle for only one working vehicle and serve champagne in line rather than delay the opening.

Yes. Even if capacity is 200/hr, they’ll open 12/5.

 

[fradz]

Yes. Even if capacity is 200/hr, they’ll open 12/5.

I just went on a ride 2 days ago with an actual capacity of 200/hr (Do-Dodonpa at Fuji-Q). Boy it is frustrating. The line simply does. not. move.

Anyway, when do you reckon would be a good time to visit WDW? After the 50th?

 

[monothingie]

Yes. Even if capacity is 200/hr, they’ll open 12/5.

Nothing like nailing it on opening day...again...Disney is getting good at being bad at this.

Can confirm this. I was chatting with one of my inside mice and they were bemoaning the actuality of potentially having to do capacity testing without enough vehicles to make a proper test. They estimated that they were still on track, just testing might be a bit crunched.

So this may have been discussed here, if so forgive me.

I was told the real reason for the delay with this attraction opening is that Disney tried to use a cheaper manufacturer for the trackless system. They had it installed at Disneyland first and it just didn’t work. WDW had not stated installation yet. So they had to switch the systems to a different manufacturer which made WDW be now ahead of the west coast version of the ride because there was nothing to rip out.

Forgive me, I was asked to not name sources. As always, take with a grain of salt.
