Requires a transfer!? So RotR DOES have guests get out of their vehicle mid-ride!!!
right...that's what I have been saying.
For the record, I’m of the opinion that any report of “mid-ride disembarking” is mistaking the shuttle preshow (which is technically a vehicle of sorts) as part of “the ride”. That’s all the transferring I’m expecting. Anything beyond that would be a very unexpected and very unlikely surprise to me.
Yeah, there is no way we could expect guests to transfer mid-ride.
People (especially today) are... I'm trying to pick a non offense term... "dense" and not alert.
They're often a physical mess too.
I don't expect much out of them, and I'm certain Disney is aware of that.
One boarding is more than enough of a psychological and physical workout for most to manage.
..why does me saying "I talked to someone working on the ride" have zero weight in this matter?
They directly told me there will be a transfer. I asked specifically because my wife is in a wheelchair and its hard for her to xfer.
He said that was the way it is made and CM's would be there to help.

I’m glad this one has been debunked. It sounded like a terrible idea at the time and it sounds like a terrible idea now.For the record, I’m of the opinion that any report of “mid-ride disembarking” is mistaking the shuttle preshow (which is technically a vehicle of sorts) as part of “the ride”.

There once was a rumor that mid-ride guests would be getting off one ride vehicle and transferring over to another ride vehicle.

You make all Disneyland guests sound like Jabba the Hutt.Yeah, there is no way we could expect guests to transfer mid-ride.

I just assumed this is what you meant in the first place. For clarification, most of us here do not acknowledge the shuttle to the Star Destroyer as anything more than an elaborate pre-show. A few years ago MiceAge got all excited about “disembarking mid-ride,” which now we figure was just an exaggeration of how the queue works, and which is why we tend to dismiss that particular wording.** RorR Clarification ** - Ok I rechecked with my contact and I was wrong about how this works.
Beginning of the ride/queue, we walk. ADA stays in their chair.
At about the middle of the ride, we all xfer to one of the 4 loading stations, getting into the 8-passenger vehicle.
This is where ADA needs to xfer to the vehicle.
Everyone stays in the vehicle until the end.
Everyone leaves and ADA xfers back to their chair to exit.

This fits what @marni1971 has been saying for years: the RIDE itself is relatively short because WDI considers all the show scenes in the pre-show to not really be PRE-show at all, but part of the attraction proper. (Wouldn’t we all consider the HM stretching room to be part of the actual attraction? Not just pre-show?)
Your source may say it’s “about the middle of the ride,” but I’m pretty sure they mean about the middle of the attraction experience.
Yeah, the ride itself is still the size of Shanghai Pirates. It's definitely not small. In fact, it dwarfs the actual show space of DL's PotC.The ride being short I think in context to the hugeness of the queue. I don’t actually expect it to be that short based on modern E-tickets. Yes based on Pirates, but nothing will ever be that long again.
