I wonder what are the boxes going into the RofR ride?
I saw some writing on the boxes.

I think I found it for you. I remembered a conversation I had on Micechat years ago where someone graciously provided me this link...

Shout out to Deadwinterskies on Micechat.

EDIT: Sorry, i just checked the links and they are no longer good. Bummer

Double EDIT: found it on Youtube...

I'm so embarrassed. I've had this conversation a couple of years ago. I realize it now that I see it was Vera Lynn.

Thank you so much.

And I love the Hammond B-3 organ! But it sounds even better on the outdoor speakers.

Hardhat time - one of sources sent me these pictures of their hardhat.

Anyone think the opening day for Galaxy's Edge will be another 24 hour party?

24 hours non-stop for a brand new very complicated ride system? Not likely.

If 200,000 people actually show up for opening day, they’ll need to. They’d need almost 3 full days to get everybody on only one of the rides. I can’t wait to see how this all unfolds.

They turn people away when they hit capacity.

I’m aware, but still lots of people. At capacity, if everybody in the park tries to go on one of the rides, it’s over a full day of operation also.

Not likely. There is a reason why there haven’t been any 24 hour events the last couple years, the resort just can’t handle it.

Let’s be realistic, you’re not going to have 50-75k people all flock to SW:GE at closing.

For FoP, when it was at its peak with 5+ hours, they stopped people getting on the line before the park closed. So, if they see an eight hour line for a SW attraction, you can bet they'll be a CM at the end of the line keeping more people from queuing up.

They don’t need to go at closing. I think it’s safe to assume most people there opening day will go for Star Wars. So assume the park hits capacity and 60% of the people go to one of the rides by noon. That’s roughly 50k people going over there, the rides can handle something around 3,000 an hour combined. That’s 17 hours of operation, and people will want to get in line all day long. I think the park hitting capacity at noon is optimistic, it’ll be earlier than that, and people will want to do more than one ride. That means they’ll either have to operate for longer or cut the lines off very early in the day, at least for that initial rush. How they handle it will be very interesting, it’ll be hard to keep people happy.

...would have been nice to have a separate entrance just for Star Wars, just to keep the rest of the park clear. I don;t live there so I don;t know if that is feasible to begin with.

There will be a cutoff at some point during the day of letting new guests into the land. So while I expect them to keep the land open for an hour or two after closing, but I don't expect them to keep it opened 24 hours.

Edit: With an 8-9a opening and a 12a closing, that is already 15-16 hours of being opened. So with an the extra hour or two after closing of processing guests would handle the 50k people @The Pho is suggesting. They could even start letting people in early at 7a just to move people along.

SW:GE butts up against Disneyland Dr and the tram path. So while not impossible it would have required a lot more time and construction to make that feasible. Just something that the current infrastructure/berm is setup to handle.

There is actually a backstage gate access just a few yards away from the land with an actual sidewalk that leads under the Disneyland Drive and directly into the parking structure. marked it in yellow.

whether it can be used as an alternative exit has been brought up before but it doesn't seem like it would be a difficult possibility

Part of that is the tram path. So they'd have to reorient the tram path so as not to have guests walking along side the trams.

i just noticed that i drew the pathway a bit to low. The actual pathway is actually just north of that and has no connection to the tramway, I have used it before.


here i fixed it
