DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[yensidtlaw1969]

It’s also an actual ride that lends itself well to b-roll footage. FoP looks anything but interesting unless you’re riding it or they made a fake version of the ride for promo footage only (see: original Tower and RnR Coaster commercials)

Rise is also that increasingly rare beast that has so many "toys" that you could show video of all the bells and people would still be surprised by all the whistles that come in between.

For as much as they've shown, it seems there is still yet much to see.

Something seems so incredibly exciting and complete about the semi-outdoors unload from technically a totally different ride vehicle than you boarded at the outset. Really should help upsell this multi-stage journey you go on, without exiting down endless corridors.

I know MiceAge was somewhat confused when they described a ride guests get on and off and on again, but this is clearly the imagineering pitch they heard.

I have a feeling this ride is going to be a little bit special

And this is where I stop watching posted videos, since I'll be riding this in less than two weeks...

Same, My trip is at the end of February. Hopefully most bugs will be worked out by then!

I'll be rope dropping on opening day, anyone else here planning to do that?

It's likely you'll be the only one there

I can use Comps but I hate going to the parks when it is too busy ,I hate super long lines too.

 

[SJN1279]

I will be there Christmas Eve, with the rest of civilization...lol

That’s my plan at the moment. Trying to figure out how early I should get there. I wish Disney would be more open about their policies for parking lot entry, what times lines will form, etc. Right now I’m thinking of lining up around 6-ish.

Does anyone know if the dedication ceremony will be on opening day or the day/night before?

I could be wrong but I believe it’s the night before during the media event. It will have to be night for the drones (X-Wings) to work.

I'll be lining up from the DHS walkway at 6am (maybe sooner). That's my plan. No EMH all week and the park opens at 8am.

..if its anything like park opening, people will be in line at 3-4am. Security let them line up across the street. Not sure where exactly but off property and then came and got them at 4am.

So we're seeing movement on some of the Storm Troopers. Do we know if they all move? There is definitely conflicting information out there. Do they alternate which ones move their heads?

From what you described I am getting Be our Guest slightly moving knight armor vibes.

Under the bridge on the walkway to the Boardwalk hotels was where we all queued up after Disney told everybody they have to leave.

 

[Rich Brownn]

I am debating opening day but I don't wanna get up at 5:30am... lol... wonder how insane it will really be (For the record I've been to the opening of every theme park in Orlando except The Magic Kingdom and Sea World)

My wife and I are planning to go opening day, but not sure yet what time. We went to opening day of Galaxy’s Edge in the afternoon and it wasn’t busy and the wait for Smugglers Run wasn’t bad at all. I would go in the afternoon again, but I’m worried that the ride may be down by then, lol.

We’re also thinking of going Wednesday night to see if we can see the X-wing drone from a distance. Is it known what time the opening ceremony is?
