Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance opening reports and using Boarding Groups at Disneyland

[Phroobar]

One can hope during this closure period they can work on getting ROTR running better.

Disney has decided to hire monkeys to fix ROTR because they are immune to the Corona virus.

My trip is March 21,22,23. I am not wishing for anyone to get the virus. But I won't mind if irrational fear
keeps the lines down!

Pretty sure on those days the lines will be empty.

Just to chime in my experience yesterday. I got my boarding group probably a few seconds after 8:00 AM and was assigned #92. I forget the exact time, but we got on probably around 3 PM.

For all the talk about reduced travel due to the coronavirus, the park seemed packed yesterday.

A lot of schools were canceled this week so maybe that came into play. My spring break got pushed up a month early the other day. I believe many universities decided to take the rest of the month off instead.

I overheard at least a few people in lines say just that. School is out, and people are being told to stay home from work, so hey, let's go to Disneyland! The crowds were noticeably lighter after the closure announcement yesterday, but the rain may have contributed.

According to ThrillData, Rise of the Resistance hasn't had a single group called today. The ride is on track to have its worst day since opening. This isn't a good sign since the park will soon be heading into its busy spring break season where students and families from around the country make their annual pilgrimage to Disneyland.

I really hope Disney gets the rides reliability issues sorted out sooner than later, today really demonstrates the ride wasn't ready for prime time.

I am giving you Forest Whittaker eye right now.

Ummm...you do know the park has temporarily ceased all operations, right?
Due to a little thing you might not have heard of yet - it's called COVID-19!!

umm you may want to check to see if things are flying over your head there.

The app has even more bugs now too! I can't even access the boarding group screen!

Since they are going to be cycling rides during the closure (according to someone on this forum - sorry, I can't remember who said it now), are we optimistic that Rise Before Dawn gets its act together for when the park opens again? Can they use this time to fix whatever issues it seems to have? Or are the issues related to moving guests through the thing?

 

[Phroobar]

It will still have a lengthy turnover for each day. That won't change but I assume guests. They can simulate guests with those water dummies and such but nothing can compare until you have real guests. Also, every attraction has downtimes almost daily. Just none are talked about as much as rise.

In many cases water dummies follow directions just as well as the average AP holder.

I'm not sure there's ever been a ride with a bigger gap between capacity and demand than Rise.

Water dummies are FAR less obnoxious than your average AP. Never had a water dummy interrupt a private queue conversation to add an unwanted fun fact a two year old could have Googled.

Your right. They may be smarter than the average AP.

What's a "water dummy"?

Are you leaving me open for a joke aren't you?

Here is what it really is.

Oh ok. thank you.

 

[DLR>WDW]

I kinda miss the boarding group drama...

 

[DrAlice]

So.... Rise before Dawn is changing their Dawn procedures in Florida. Whenever DL can open, I wonder if we will see the same change here?
