Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Should be? Sure. But it's not like they've demonstrated that ability in the last 64 years... Their history is replete with opening day chaos...

But given what @marni1971 and others have said about the reliability problems and rushed nature, the problems are not limited to opening day and will extend past it for at least a while.

This was an intentional decision to open a not ready ride.

The boarding group thing helps mitigate the chaos. Since we have group 27, there’s no point for me or anyone else not in the current group loading, to even go to that area. So the rest of the park is fairly chill (knock on wood).

How many in a boarding group? Just your party or you and a bunch of strangers?

What kind of tattoo is Chapek getting? I picture Tinker Bell with dollar signs as eyes.

I meant TARRED but just noticed the spelling issue, which actually worked out better to set it up for you

So the question is did WDW open it too soon? Should they have pushed it to January also?

From the rumor I heard, yes. I forget where (being either twitter or here/otherforums) but I remember a post saying that either ops/maintenence or WDI suggested the 14th as the absolute earliest day to open for reliability/problem solving reasons and Chapek saying no, they were keeping today as the opening. They knew there were issues and went through with it anyways

So Chapek is essentially the Mayor from Jaws? 'Those beaches will be open for this weekend"

I know. But I thank you kindly for the assist. Sometimes you just have to jump on a joke quickly before somebody can edit their post.

Over/under on how long until it crashes down again? I hope all those people get to ride it but if the ride is having issues i feel bad and upset for those who got up early and paid for a full price ticket only not to be able to ride the brand new ride.

It seems like you want this to go badly.

There are many here who want it to go badly.

From what I remember reading a couple of days ago, yeah pretty much. It sucks too, because its such a good ride and its gonna get an undeserved reliability rep that could've been solved by just delaying it. But then that wouldn't help fatten up the holiday crowds now, would it?

Correct. What is a bit unfortunate is that the ride is perfectly ready for previews. If they were now starting two weeks of previews nobody would complain about downtime. Instead we will just have to be really patient. Most of us are rational enough to handle that but I do feel bad for the cast members who will have to deal with less rational, entitled folks. Hopefully the kid with dirt on his face from last night has a thick skin.

no idea what the sizes are, even CM are not told. Disney likely gauges throughput of the ride, expectations of downtime, crowd size and adjusts accordingly. I jumped from 1 to 3 out of the 5 bars needed fairly quickly but had since stalled

 

[BoarderPhreak]

Woohoo! Ride TWO!

No. I actually like the ride. It looks fun. But its just common sense at this point that WDW opened it too soon and It is for sure gonna go down again. I feel bad for all those people. Disney should have their $hit together when opening an E Ticket of this magnitude.

I can't even imagine how bad it is there and how bad its going to be for the foreseeable future if they don't have some magical breakthrough during maintenances nightly attempts to fix it every day. I have a friend starting an attractions CP in January and I can only imagine the pain if he ends up in studios and its still having issues

Here's a photo of the current situation in front of the ride at 7:45am, posted in the Opening Day thread.
This pretty much sums it all up.

But......I thought Star Wars was dead you guys!? What happened?

 

[jrhwdw]

RTV1 got a full ride!!!! They loved it!!!!!!!! Lag in the AT-AT room for some reason.
