From the other thread, the preshows were down the first hour or two today, but they still chose to run the ride.

That’s what I was afraid of :-(

Just read it. Skipping the bb8 preshow and the transporter ride (and the stormtroopers room? Or do you enter that room somehow?) really takes away from the attraction.

From what I've read, when they're bypassing the preshows, they escort people directly through the BB8 room to outside, and then hang a left before the shuttle to a backstage corridor that leads to the left side of the hangar bay.

I rode Rise today. I liked the preshow better than the ride, the cast were incredible. Maybe I expected too much from the ride and had no pre show expectations.
Boarding Group 85 had every element of the preshow.

I agree. The ride itself is less impressive than Spider-Man, Indy, etc. but the entire experience is good because of all the surprises. To me the best part is exiting the transport ship and being in an entirely new immersive experience. That’s the part with the biggest wow moment.

Finally a video of a stop!
All the lights dim, and any videos, like on the windows, freeze. Interesting the siren still plays as if you're about to board the escape pods.


Yeah the flailing arms look a little silly, but damn it’s super impressive how fast and fluid this animatronic is. This video shows it off really well since there’s just so much going on in a normal ride through.

It was one of the scenes in Pirates

The fog mist screen? That was an effect that was removed on both coasts for other reasons afaik. Pirates is plenty fog filled the last couple times I’ve ridden. Pirates is a great example of physical effects... lighting, water cannons, sound, and fog all coming together. The ultimate would be real fire at the finale.

It almost looked like adhesive on new windows. Like sticky.
Got a Pic today- there's now a scratch too

For people who've ridden Rise... do you think this ride is a little too much for expectant mothers?

My sister who is pregnant opted to not ride. But the first thing I said when the “drop” happened was that she absolutely could’ve gone on. Even Kilimanjaro Safaris is a far more intense ride experience. But, obviously, do not take my word for it. The sign outside cautions against expectant mothers riding, but the drop was very mild. Similar to Pirates or Frozen, imho.

A great big ‘ehh’ from me. I appreciate the scope of the experience very much, but the ride itself was pretty lackluster. Many rides are better. Lot of hallways with piping and ductwork scenery lol.

Glad the Star Wars crew enjoys it tho. You deserve it :)

Remember, the same crew said a 4 minute movie with you on a motion base was the most mind blowing thing ever. 30 years after BTTF opened.
