What type of numbers are we looking at this attraction doing operationally? If I'm going to ask anyone it'd be you. Unsure if it's been asked before.

When it works like a dream? 1700-ish.

When you say dream are you talking theoretical or within any realm of actual possibility?
That’s the projected possible figure. With Man and machine working in perfect harmony. Or something like that.

And it sounds like give or take around half the cars will be operational at opening. Yikes.

Yep, Episode IX has suffered from poor industry buzz* for almost two months. Word travels fast in Hollywood. It’s partly why Disney PR has been pushing the Mandalorian—a bona-fide success—instead of Episode IX. Episode IX opens in a few weeks, and the Disney spin machine is only talking about Baby Yoda.
*The problem with “industry buzz” in Hollywood is that it’s notoriously vague and exaggerated. “John Carter is terrible” (not true). “Only basement-dwelling chauvinists hated ‘Last Jedi.’” (My sister begs to differ.) Regardless of the facts, they repeat things in a vacuum chamber until they believe it simply because they’ve heard it so many times—which, incidentally, is why you shouldn’t rely on them for political info.
Bottom line, everyone is under stacks of NDAs and tries to sidestep those by simply using vague adjectives. You’re only going to hear vague positive or negative buzz until the facts trickle out years later.
Edit: Google “Star Wars Reshoots” to see the rumors. This doesn’t mean that anything anybody is saying is correct, but it does show the buzz is poor. I had posted a link on here, but I deleted it because someone thought I was posting it as fact, not as an example.

...Which puts it somewhere in RNRC territory.

Both of those were refuted by the director.

So the buzz for “Last Jedi” has been terrible for months, but we didn’t know how true that was until Iger got involved with the reshoots. That’s because the other thing about Hollywood is how everyone is under stacks of NDAs and tries to sidestep those by simply using vague adjectives.
The most recent YouTube vid about this came out five days ago, but remember that it’s mostly people repeating rumors they’ve heard. Facts are under NDA wraps for now, but will probably leak after the movie released.
I’m posting this as an example of how people are discussing Episode IX, not as a legit news source. I have no idea who these people are.
You seriously posting these kind of videos here. All these channels are posting false rumors. Stirring the fan base into a frenzy.
It’s rather low.

Fun Out-of-Context Things:
"Lucky to keep this above 1100"
"The few good days are the exception"
"Disney's Hagrid"
"You'd have a better shot in Anaheim"
"As you can tell, we are all loving the exec mandates atm"
"Pray"
"It feels like everyone and their mother has signed an NDA"
"The poor ops kids"

No, no, no! I was posting as an academic example that people are talking about it. If it’s possible that people misread that as fact or complicit agreement, I’ll take it out my post!

I would not believe everything JJ says. He is trying to sell a product.
Word on the street has not been kind to Star War ep.9
It's a shame by the time Return of the Jedi rolled around, Empire was considered a classic with some of the best lines, best characters, best music of all Star Wars. At the same time, Empire built upon the original Star Wars characters and made the audience care even more about them.
Hope all goes well with Ep 9 but it isn't looking pretty (should have stuck with the 50 page Lucas story treatment and worked off of that...my opinion)
Mandalorian is great and I'm excited about the future of Star Wars on Disney +.

I'm not sure that's correct. I've been informed it is being changed based on some "dyad" concept (I have no idea what it means) not screening well with the top Disney execs. I'm assuming that's Iger, but I think Favreau and Feige were brought in to consult. I know Iger has made it his mission to fix Star Wars before he leaves, even to the point that he watched ever Mandalorian episode prior to release, made actual notes, and had things changed at his direction. It's very far outside of the norm, but he has been in crisis management mode with Lucasfilm for about a year.
