News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Standby Line and Boarding Groups at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[RSoxNo1]

Any word on the actual efficiency of this ride? Non-covid restrictions is this running at peak capacity? My understanding per @marin1971 was that only really had one day pre-COVID where it hit all its numbers.

I have a bot that keeps track of Rise's reliability and it hasn't recorded a single downtime (>= 15mins usually) since March 10th. So it's almost been a full week of splendid reliability!

Of course if there was no restrictions on capacity, I'm sure we'll be into BG 200 these days. The current ceiling of BG is comparable to December 2019, but that was with extended hours and lots of downtime. Therefore, my estimated guess is that it's currently running at the highest capacity currently allowed/able to with the current park hours 'til 8pm.

Keep in mind, parties of 1 or 2 hurt the PPH as they reserve a whole row for themselves. Dispatches are about 2 RVs every 30-33 seconds from estimates on various POVs (my own estimations/observations).

Edit: These are just assumptions that BG-size hasn't changed drastically over the course of its operations the past year..

I just saw your Edit, do we know for sure if the BG-size has changed? Paging @lentesta @marni1971

Regardless, it's a testament to reliability if breakdowns are far and few now (as it seems)..

BG-size only really affects what BG is being called at the end of the day now

I’d like to compare notes. We have more than 30 mins of downtime on ... Monday? We could be wrong.

I can check.

It wasn’t close to hourly capacity when we counted last month.

Ah yes, I see it now, from ~9:32am - 9:58am.
I mistakenly grouped it with the the (usual) delay from the initial BG callings at around 8:40am then at 9:00am.

It looks like there was ... something ... around group 25 on Saturday? One group was called in a span of 30-ish minutes?

But yeah, overall, it's been running okay starting on the 11th. I haven't checked yesterday.

It wasn’t close to hourly capacity when we counted last month.

The highest number of guests we've ever counted coming out of ROTR in an hour is 1,566 around 9 a.m., on 9 March 2020 (so, a year ago).

On 18 Feb 2021, we counted 946/hour around 3 p.m. I think they were calling around 18 BG/hour, so ballpark-y, around 53 people per boarding group then?

I'll have the team get a count when they're at DHS. Should be in the next couple of days.

 

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 8:40am (1-10). Groups started calling at the same time yesterday.

 

[lentesta]

@RSoxNo1 Around 1,048 riders in the past hour on ROTR, approximately 20 BGs, so around 52-ish people per BG today?

 

[DCBaker]

1pm slots filled in roughly ~9 seconds - current groups called up to 83 (1 group less than yesterday).

This is super interesting, thanks for the extra work. I think we reasoned pre-covid groups could be around 100, so 52 seems to track when taking the distancing into account.

 

[DCBaker]

188 is the last group of the night, called just after 7:05pm (2 groups more than yesterday).

 

[RSoxNo1]

Are you measuring that based on dispatches or actual guest throughput?

Unless I’ve missed a date I’ve got January 4th 2020 as being the most successful day to date, I dare say a combination of lack of down time and long park hours.
