It’s not… bad. Just not amazing. Not worth the budget. And wrong location.
IMHO of course.

The more I think of this, the more I wish they added more sets. If anyone has ridden space mountain at DL while they're doing hyperspace mountain you know about the near misses with various space craft as well as some laser effects. I feel like there could have certainly been some of that added.. instead we get a couple big globes. The ride is pretty good but it's missing some little things that could make it so much better.
I mean sure you'll see some people looking pale on the bench at the exit, or hovering around the trashcan, or kids crying need to be consoled, but the majority of people getting off the ride enjoy it. And you'll see all that stuff time to time at the exit of any of the mountains.
It's definitely unique sensations and it can definitely set some people on a bad way, but it's a lot of fun. There's a lot of positives about it.

We were at the park last week, and I thought I'd give it another shot. I hated it less this time, but it's still not good. That park could have certainly used that money for a myriad of other projects. It would also garner less complaints if it was in the correct park, DHS. That would have made room for Tron in Epcot. Life would have been slightly better, but it's mildly enjoyable.

I do have to wonder if a lot of reason why that is happening is guests not used to rides like that.

I don't get it;
are you saying that in "America"(I assume you mean USA, right?) companies are particularly good at squandering money as opposed to say Uganda, Indonesia, Germany, Japan or any other place?

Are you including the bit on the Star Destroyer as part of Rise's queue? I'm iffy on whether that should be counted or not since it feels like a part of the ride. I think the part of the queue in the Resistance base is pretty weak tbh, Smugglers Run's queue is a lot better.

oh you raise a solid point and we need to think this through better. Separating Rise's queue from "ride" (if you will) is not an easy task.
It's one of these 3 I believe:
1)Rise queue ends once we step on transport with the calamari dude AA and then the Q picks back up until we reach the trackless 8-person cars. But under that theory we would have a pretty unique sequence of: Q, Ride, Q, Ride........ and thus, the total Q would be quite substantial.
or
2)Q ends once we board the 8 seat vehicle which would make the queue extremely long and elaborate.
or
3)Q ends once we step on squid AA transport.
I don't know which of these 3 it is.
Maybe, I'm not sure.

Yeah, it's tricky. For a while, I thought it ended once you get on the transport. But then a friend brought up how clever it was to continue the queue through such an amazingly well themed & immersive area, which made rethink things a bit.
Buuuut, I still consider the queue as ending once you get on the transports.
The majority of people getting off the ride feel queasy.

That's unfortunate. I still maintain a lot of that has to do with the fact majority of Disney guests aren't ride people.

Which is why I unfortunately won't be looking to ride this anytime soon but alas SSE is more of my speed (I can handle TT and Soarin' as well)

Dizzy, maybe. "Majority feeling queasy". I think that's stretching it.
Don’t shoot the messenger. Not my words.

There's no doubt some people riding this may get queasy. Majority? I doubt it. Otherwise, you'd hear about people throwing up on every coaster every hour. You don't. Also, that doesn't necessarily make it a bad ride either. From what I hear, it's many guests' favorite ride.
Majority is over half. Which is the amount polled by ride operations after riding that reported feeling queasy.

And that is fine, I'm sure its a fine ride, but for me personally, its just another ride I don't want to ride to be wrecked for the rest of the day. Mission Space and Guardians are 2 that I won't ride so that whole side (with the wasted space of Wonders) is useless to me now.

I'm dubious. Dizzy, yes. Queasy, no. Was I briefly dizzy? Sure. Queasy, no.
Queasy: nauseated; feeling sick

Doesn’t bother me if you don’t believe it. I’m just telling it how it is.
Next time you ride go see how the trash can arrangement at the exit corridor has changed.
