DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[MisterPenguin]

That's what I said.


Not quite right. And you forgot white.

The white car is for loading and unloading prisoners only. The red car is for passing Kylo.

 

[easyrowrdw]

surely you can see why this is a little different than a magical moment.

and while I agree with you, there likely would be a lot of guests who don’t.

Certainly. It's not the same level, but I think it's the same principal.

And for the guests who don't, I think they're to blame, not Disney.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Anyhoo...

In the AT-AT room, are there two Finn AAs but depending which lift you take, you only see one or the other?

Yes.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Speaking of Finn...

Just finished a lengthy Data Pad game in which I helped Finn free resistance prisoners on the First Order Starship.

All the pieces of the backstory of the land and rides are fitting together nicely from the rides to the walkarounds to the Play Disney games.

What? White is just another loading color, and each car has multiple colors assigned.

Anyhoo...

Yup.

I don't see this on my app. The ride doesn't show up on the wait times list, but I can find it on the list of attractions. It just gives me basic height requirements and whatnot, though. I don't see anything about boarding groups (nor on the website). Any idea what I'm missing?

The home screen on the MDE app has a very large panel all about Rise. It's in there.

Can anyone explain how the first transport ship works. Ive heard that you enter and exit through the same door. How do they do that? Does the “ship” rotate so that you exit out the same door into the star destroyer?

Exactly right. Three ships on a turntable. Same gag for the cockpits of the MFSR.

Props to Yensid for accurately predicting this back in 2017.

Okay cool. Ive heard a few people mention how they are so thrown off when they exit the same door they came in. Does the door on the opposite exist just to throw people off?

Being head of Parks and Resorts also calls for being a hype man. At minimum, it requires appearing human. Chapek should not be on stage for these kind of events, or better, Chapek should be replaced entirely. Not only does it make the opening ceremony poor, it reflects poorly on the division because the head guy seems clueless and uninterested in the product. This looks bad to both fans and investors.

Were the drones worth it? What do you all think?

They were not integrated well into the ceremony. It just kind of happened. It would be like if Tinkerbell zip-lined out of the castle before HEA starts. As if two separate teams planned this out and didn’t work together much. College football teams do more exciting things with plane flyovers and parachuters, and they are not the worldwide leaders in themed entertainment. Compared to RotR, the lesser quality of this performance really stands out.

And to @marni1971 for saying the preshow would put a unique ‘spin’ on the stretching room.

 

[RobotWolf]

Is there any vertical movement during the flight?

Thanks for the reply. Mine doesn't have that, but I was able to find something after I clicked "Learn More" under the How to Access section of the Attraction details. I saw info saying a boarding pass was needed for Rise, but never could see what groups were going. I'll try again tomorrow and see if anything changes for me.

Are you sure you're running the latest version of the app?

This is the main screen when I start the app:

Then click on that and it brings up this:

Disney has got to be ecstatic about today. Great buzz, the attraction performed pretty well, probably better than some other recent first days, and that with no previews, and a team that probably would have liked a couple of more weeks to iron out the bugs.

The giving out of tickets to those who could not ride was a class move. Great job today TDO and WDI...

 

[Squishy]

How much times did it go down today?

 

[totchos]

Is there any vertical movement during the flight?

Yes, the pod drops a short amount and then converts to a sort of flight simulator.
