DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[mergatroid]

I imagine "Harry who" is the latest buzz phrase around the execs.

The smallest details make all the difference. In the interrogation room, the shadow they added (circled in white) to accompany the stormtrooper/general hux makes it seem much more real.

For good reason too.

While I haven't been on Shanghai Pirates, I have done the rest of the "best rides in the world" (Mystic Manor, Flight of Passage, all three HP attractions, etc.) and while they range from INCREDIBLE (Mystic Manor) to pretty good (Forbidden Journey) none of them even hold a candle to this.

 

[Animaniac93-98]

FP eventually yes. Single Rider no.

I can't imagine how Single Ride would work. You need the build up to understand what is happening in the ride.

Unless they make a joke out of it where you think you're skipping the line, only to get captured in a different way by the First Order.

"Thought you could find a quicker way to escape undetected, eh? You Rebel Resistance Scum aren't very clever, are you?"

I think the on ride portion of Mystic Manor is better, but the whole experience with multiple shows before the ride is what tops it here.

MM has a pre-show (that I honestly had no idea existed until I saw it in person), but it's more on par with the HM stretching room.

Adore MM on-ride, but the tech and scope of this is just on another plane of existence. I can't believe they pulled this off.

I agree. While the HP rides and FOP are awesome, they don't compare to this. I think its just the scale and the complexity of it all thats mind boggling.

*On a side note* The scene where Kylo is almost sucked out of the ship before the drop shaft is incredible. The movements and the difference in the scene from one moment to the next is crazy.

I REALLY hope they use air effects there because yes, I was blown away by seeing that in video too.

 

[danlb_2000]

Wow, so the videos pretty much confirm my expectations for this ride (and then some). Looks great.

Two quick questions. First, has anyone seen any videos that captured the "mid air" 3-d laser blast technology in the patent? Seeing the holes and Sparks on the walls is cool and all, but I haven't seen the blasts in action yet.

Second, how sung are the RV's, both horizontally and vertically for knee space? The seat belt looks pretty much the same as MFSR and Star Tours, I just want to make sure uh....larger guests will still be able to ride.

Was there ever conformation that the tech in that patent was actually used in the ride? The laser fired by the walkers appear to either by a light in the ceiling or projection mapping.

The hair of the passenger in front of the camera man was being blown around from some wind. Not sure if it was that or just the movement of the vehicle.

*Update* Watching another video, there is definitely an air effect when the wall is blown out. The Attractions Magazine full ride through at around 3:05 shows it.

Nobody will hate the ride...it's a great ride.
People might wish other characters were in the story but that's it.

I wish Disney would have created two versions of Batuu showing the age of the land and how long it’s been around.
1. Disneyland could have gotten OT Batuu with Han Solo owning the Falcon and the Escape from the Death Star ride.
2. Disneyworld gets NT Batuu as we see today.
That would have been awesome. Everybody would be happy.
I can dream...

I kind of thought it was a weird fit for DL from the beginning.

I always thought SWL Anaheim was the last best hope for a third gate anchor.

I imagine "Harry who" is the latest buzz phrase around the execs.

For the next few years probably. Or when both versions are running reliably.

 

[RobWDW1971]

Amazing! Thought the pacing and diversity of scenes/effects were tremendous. The music, effects, action, story, all great and the entire experience is undeniably Star Wars. Now THAT is an attraction. Can't wait to ride it in person if that is what it feels like watching a video.

In this scene they use the roof to show the blasts but in the first encounter with the stormtroppers where the blast you, it is that fan style machine.

Amazing! Thought the pacing and diversity of scenes/effects was tremendous - going under the guns shooting out into space was awesome. Now THAT is an attraction. Can't wait to ride it in person.

I'm shocked by your reaction, tbh.

 

[KBLovedDisney]

Wow. Um....yeah. Okay.

 

[rsm]

Three weeks ago Disney had three major SW players: Mandalorian, RotR, and RoS as unknowns for how they would be received.
So far 2/2. Things may be looking up.

 

[ABigBrassBand]

Do any CMs or insiders know how they'll be handling DSA entry on this? It would be a bummer if disabled individuals have to miss out on the entire 18-minute experience.

 

[totchos]

GMA just posted more footage of the ride. Also, they show the cast walking into the ride at Disneyland.

 

[LSLS]

Yes, he did.



Fine, maybe not a collector in the sense of going to conventions, etc. and buying rare figures and such. But he collected the new action figures for a few years, wanting every one that came out. But for the past couple of years he doesn't really want them, not because he doesn't want the figures anymore, but because he thinks the new ones are junk. And he's disappointed in that fact because there's a few characters from TLJ and Solo he doesn't have.

As far as other merch, we got a bunch of light sabers around TFA and Rogue One - but now we are saturated on those and don't feel the need to buy any more. How many light sabers does a family need? We practically have enough to stage our own battle of Geonosis...

Was going to keep going, but it doesn't matter. The important question is not do the toys now compare to the old toys, it's when someone walks into Walmart, are they picking up a Finn action figure or a Luke one. That's what I mean by looking at toy sales. What is selling. And not completely what is selling a month after the new movie, but what was selling like 8 months ago.
