Disneyland's Rise Of The Resistance - Reviews, Criticism, Deep Thoughts

[Ismael Flores]

I asked a couple of CMs if it was testing at this point and what not. They were both talking like it was from a script "sir it opens January 17th". I clarified my question and again they said "it opens January 17th". I almost took it as an insult that I can't understand them or something LOL.

i saw someone ask if the ride was closed - obviously they do not keep up with Disney fanthom or the news - The castmember replied, traveler nothing going on here. The couple looked confused and then laughed.

lol thats funny. I suppose CMs get tired of hearing the question and assume everything asked about RotR is in regards to it's opening date.

I think Daisy Ridley is quite attractive. Y’all are crazy.

yeah, i guess they were in character and the whole thing is suppose to be a secret until the rise.
Problem is guests that are not aware of the in role thing end up not knowing something big is coming

I'm just glad when I went this week I didn't hear a single cast member awkwardly say "Bright Suns", "Til the Spires", or any other such nonsense while I was there - in the shops, cantina, attraction, nowhere. Glad to see that didn't even last 6 months.

But I DID get to see (kind of) for the first time Chewie and Rey in pitch darkness "working" on the X Wing behind a fence while very confused guests squinted to see what was happening in the dark. Brilliant, Disney, brilliant.

Now now, the OP might be a carpenter and appreciate a good flat 2x4.

Ugh, the Imagineering Episode showed even more of this attraction.

It looks great. I've been so spoiled.

It also answered @mickEblu's eternal question about the drop. It does look reasonably thrill-y. I had no idea that it is both an elevator and a motion base.

 

[THE 1HAPPY HAUNT]

No. But I am scared that you do. How many different ways are there to google the Falcon Ramp?

wouldn't you like to know?

Good to know!

Lol @ “eternal”

The best part about this is thinking how excited they probably were when they came up with this idea.

Transport Ship does at the very least tilt backward. See: the latest episode of The Imagineering Story on Disney Plus.

I'll be swinging by the park later tonight. Perhaps I'll check if they're testing today, and can maybe finally confirm an opening date for us.

The opening date is January 17th....

 

[Phroobar]

Guest: "What time is the 9:15 fireworks?"
CM: "The opening date is January 17th...."

Doesn't having cm's say an opening date for a "ride" break the attempted theming of the land?

Shouldn't they be saying "recruitment starts on the 17" or something?

Just saying.

Oh god, don't give them any ideas!

It’s part of WDI’s trend of “Storytelling through yelling in your ear” strategy we’ve seen on Incredicoaster, MFSR, GOTG:MB. Mission:Space, etc...

StoryYelling!
