Does anyone know if there will be any limitations to child swap for RotR? We’ll be in DHS on Dec 19 and with a 2-year old, there’s no way we’ll be able to wait in a crazy queue for this twice.

I realize that...not my tweet. Just shared as I didn’t know there was a countdown.

...but you’re “tingling”...aren’t you?
”Swift Drop”
This is still a normal occurrence even today, even with all the information they could need in their pocket.I used to work the tip board on Main Street. It was a completely normal daily occurrence for someone to walk up to the board, look at it, then turn to me and ask “Where are the rides?” For a good chunk of the park guests they are used to their local Six Flags where you can choose the rides you want to go on from the parking lot. Weenies mean a lot.
Disclaimer: When I was working the tip board the year started with a “1” and most people were still on AOL. But the concept of unknowing guests continues today...
That's a new one.
Rides are categorized as: small drop; big drop; and thrill (among other categories, such as 'dark' and 'scary'). There is no category on MDE of "swift drop", not even for ToT which yanks you down faster than gravity can (in that short period of time).
RotR is listed on MDE as "small drop" and "thrill." It does not say, "swift drop."
So, I think the sign maker wasn't keeping in line with Disney's normal categorizations.
But, then again, even Disney's existent categorization has head-scratchers such as Peter Pan's Flight as having "small drops."

Swift can refer to speed or length of time. We will know more in less than a week!Does that mean that the “swift drop” is more intense then that of TOT or less intense then some of the smaller drops? Still trying to figure out the intensity of the drop.
Given the idea that this attraction is meant to be more of a family-friendly dark ride than Tower of Terror, which easily classes as a Thrill Ride, I feel safe assuming Rise's drop will be less intense.Does that mean that the “swift drop” is more intense then that of TOT or less intense then some of the smaller drops?

I think Disney is smart enough not to bury a drop that intense at the end of a ride that does not otherwise advertise its intensity. I'm sure it will be thrilling, but since it's a drop combined with a simulator element I'd guess that both will have to be tame enough that the combination doesn't turn too many stomachs.
It's also a 40 foot drop max, so if you're drawing that out into a simulated sequence it's either a really short sequence or a slower drop. Neither of which is likely to be especially intense.
I am pretty confident there are seatbelts. Like Tower of Terror.I'm thinking that "swift drop" isn't going to be physically intense. If it were, lap bars/shoulder restraints would be needed. I haven't seen anything like that portrayed yet.
The plot thickens...I am pretty confident there are seatbelts. Like Tower of Terror.
Getting on to the transport constitutes the beginning of the ride for me. I might change my mind once I experience it in January.Hey, have we argued enough yet about when an attraction begins?

Something side you are wearing seatbelts .I'm thinking that "swift drop" isn't going to be physically intense. If it were, lap bars/shoulder restraints would be needed. I haven't seen anything like that portrayed yet.
