Sounds solid to me. Should also manage MMRR to an extent. If they finally bring down boarding groups to an hour-long return window all day instead of just early morning, should keep people out of line from MMRR. Would you risk being in a 2-hour line for MMMR if you only have 1 hour to get to Rise when you’re called?

I think the obvious solution for this is don’t get in a 2 hour standby line when your boarding group is within 20 or so groups. The windows are very easy to manage your plans around if you just keep an eye on it once in a while to gauge how it’s moving along throughout the day.

Also hoping that MMRR is standby.

5th gate? Just build a new resort Bob.
I don’t understand why FastPass/Standby isn’t the ideal option here. 8/9ths of the rides at the park opened as headliners. 4 of them in the last 22 months. Treat em the same unless they’re constantly dumping the queue.

Or better yet, standby only.

I’m up for the whole park standby only as it would spread out the lines efficiently, but one ride of it in a park with 7 FP rides is not a good idea IMHO. It would certainly cause wait times to drop at the other attractions though.

It’ll have fastpass eventually but I think having SR standby only for the first 5 months worked well.

It certainly reduced standby times at other attractions.

I'm guessing the sign isn't being lit yet and that's why we don't have a picture of what it looks like at night?

Is it just me or is it a bit excessive to have a sign that large so close to the ground? You'd think they'd mount it higher so its more noticeable? Or make it smaller if they want it right above the doorway?
Edit: Or better yet, move it out to the front side areas like the GMR signs were.
Good point. But I'm glad the sign doesn't completely cover up the dragon design. It's a stunner, and helps retain the Chinese Theater's character IMO.

The location of the sign makes sense to me. It fits the 'theater' you're going to a 'show' vibe. It doesn't mess with the architecture lines (at least from photos). Man, it's been awhile since I've posted. ::waves:: hi everyone! Like everyone else, I'm really curious to see how the opening plays out.

Gorgeous sign but I hate hate hate the placement, just because the covered dragon. I don't particularly have an attachment to the Chinese theater or anything, but it's just a really strange juxtaposition.

Its sad that Micechat doesn't know Disney history.

This is Disney’s own words. And I believe they are referring to this being the first ride through experience.
Let’s not get locked down by petty semantics.

LMAO, I wonder how many of you have been to Hollywood and TCL Chinese Theatre. The entire area around Hollywood/Highland is a curious but grimy, tacky place.
I will say, I’ve never seen it like that in the past few trips though.
