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

Woohoo! That means photo ops with Chewie and Rey are next

You nailed it. Chewie and Vee (sp) just came through.

I still don't understand how this thing seems to hum on the weekends and continues to spurt and stutter during weekdays, after a month of operations, and the crush of the Xmas crowds. You'd think that if it had done as well as it had to this point that the major problems would be ironed out. And why only on the weekdays, not the weekends?

Okay I’m gonna say it, since no one has before: are the cheapest of all fruits, hence why they always give them out when the ride stalls.

Get rid of Chapek and we get organic

Ride's been back up since 1:30pm. BGs called up to 32 currently.

Wonder if Batuu East will fall behind Batuu West again today. Current Score is 32-23 with East in the lead.

That's just demonstrably not true. I've clicked "join boarding group" from sitting at home. It turns red for everyone once groups open.

I get what you're saying, you likely just happened to pull into the lot as they opened the park, and therefore groups. My point is there is no "in range."

Remember, this was early Dec when the Boarding Groups were open/opening before the Park opened.....they corrected that issue early on

Well one had a 4 hour head start, so therefore we are already behind...by a lot..

This analogy is amazing.

 

[disneygeek90]

And just like that Batuu West takes a 36-35 lead.

We're moving so slow it's hard to tell if it's down or not.

..and rhymes with 'eye.' Commonly short for 'Violet.'

4pm and the groups are moving, but very, very slow - groups currently called are 34-46.

 

[Twirlnhurl]

My theory on the operational reliability of the ride on weekends VS weekdays is that on weekdays, the programers are trying new things. But on weekends they don't work, so ops runs a more conservative operation that is more reliable.

 

[DCBaker]

6pm - groups currently being called (and are still being called past 6pm) are 47-71.

Backup groups don't start until group 81.

 

[disneygeek90]

Looks like they’re pushing past 6pm again, but they still aren’t to the backups.

They really need to clean it up on the weekdays. Whatever they’ve been tryin ain’t it lol

 

[DCBaker]

Looks like they are done calling new groups for the night (last group 79) - 1 group left of regular groups before they would have gotten to the backup groups.

 

[disneygeek90]

Looks like they are done calling new groups for the night - 1 group short of backup groups.

Pretty weird they’d pull up one group shy of the guaranteed.

 

[jaxj21]

They're clearing the queue right now

 

[disneygeek90]

I’m usually an optimist but pretty disappointing that 2 of the worst 3 days boarding group wise have been in the last week, and yesterday’s 2pm open wasn’t anything to brag about either.

I have some friends going for the first time Friday. Hoping they have better luck that the past couple days. I did give them some briefing instructions lol
