Directly into the hangar, it sounds like. Really confusing story wise.
Yeah but how? Doesn’t the shuttle take you to the hangar?

They’re taking people through a castle member door behind the shuttle.

It dies, but there is a door to a backstage hallway from the outside area between BB8 room and the shuttle.

Wait - the shuttle ain’t real?
Well I knew that lol I’m just trying to figure out how it works
The more I read this thread the more I want to move to Orlando.
Sounds like a nice Saturday.
Go ahead and do it! You only need to submit a mug shot.

It’s on a turntable.
I’m still trying to figure out where you enter and how when you skip the shuttle. “Directly into the hangar” could mean several different things. Do you still see the storm troopers?

If you were exiting the shuttle into the hangar normally, people bypassing the shuttle would be entering from somewhere to your left and walking straight across the hangar. So yes, they'd see the troopers. They also walk straight through the BB8 room without stopping to see the show because that preshow mostly just sets you up for the shuttle.
And one random thought, I'd assume that if one particular shuttle cabin couldn't be used for some reason that the ride control system can factor that into the timing of the preshows. It would just mean a longer wait every third preshow group.

In my opinion - the designer of the experience (imagineers) should have the power to say no the attraction has to close if this is not functioning.
IF the attraction can run without a pre-show, a proper b-mode should have been designed. For example, a b-space transport that’s just a themed hallway with a some lighting effects and a audio that says you’ve been captured so that you exit into hangar having still been captured.

Sounds highly preferable to walking through backstage areas

Hi all, I'm new here - is there a thread about RotR's operations that doesn't allow spoilers? I want to get tips on how to get on board (preferably earlier in the morning - I saw people suggest fully closing the app before getting a boarding pass?) and also to see generally how the ride is doing operationally, but am trying to avoid spoilers where possible.

I agree. I didn’t want spoilers before I rode either. The problem is if you don’t know a few spoilers you won’t know if you’re getting the full experience or not. :-/
This would be that thread - usually people try to use spoiler tags, but the longer the ride has been open, the less than seems to be happening.

Got back from my trip yesterday. Didn’t get to ride this thing because of the stupid virtual queue that put us in boarding group 137 or something and it never got to us, but apparently it got to that number fairly early the day after we were in that park. We only did one DHS day. We tried showing up early too since it was a 7:00 am opening but that still wasn’t good enough.
