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

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 8:40am (1-13). Groups started calling at the same time yesterday.

I do wonder what % of seats are currently being filled in each vehicle? A solo rider, a pair, and a group of 3 all take up 3 seats. A group of 4 (which I would guess is the most common group size?) takes 6 whole seats.

Why would a party of 4 take up 6 seats? Would they not just take up the entire row of 4 seats, thus another party of <=4 taking up the other row?

I think you may be confusing the seat configurations, it's 2 rows of 4 for 8 total seats.

Whoops! I was thinking it was 3x3 in each vehicle! not 4x4! So, 1,2,3,4 all take 4 seats and 5,6,7,8 all take 8 seats!

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.

What do you have there for hourly capacity? If it's around 1,600, I could buy that.

 

[lentesta]

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

Counting people exiting the ride.

I only saw the first one move, but we were the last car in line. Not sure if all 3 were moving.

My ride last week was just one cannon. Previous trip in September was zero. So I was happy to even get one.

The 1pm BG drop lasted about ~14 seconds. At the time, up to BG 85 was called (+2 than yesterday).

Currently, at the time of writing, up to BG 139 called at 4:32pm.

192 is the last group of the night, called around 7:05pm (4 groups more than yesterday).

 

[DCBaker]

Ride 52 completed. I have nothing else profound to say

Maybe this has been asked before, but I’ve been messing around with the virtual queue the last two days here in Chicago. My trip isn’t until November but I want to understand it better so I have the best chance to get a boarding group the only day we are at Hollywood Studios. The first time I tried yesterday at 7 I was greeted with the red message that boarding groups were filled. However today I tried at both 7 and 1 and I was taken to a different page that said I didn’t have a park reservation. Immediately I closed that out and tried again and then I got the red message. So does that mean it was trying to assign me a boarding group?

Correct - that means if you had a park reservation, you would have been assigned a boarding group.

Thank you for the clarification!

I am amazed with the shear luck that I have had in being able to get a boarding group. With the exception of one time, every time I have been to Studios since ROTR opened, I have been able to get a boarding group. Today, we got group 18!
