Thanks to all that replied, I guess we'll be getting up at o-dark hundred

It is fun in a weird way

Park is open 14 hours today. Seven hours in, we are about halfway through the groups. They seem to be learning just how many groups they can release.

Any idea where they maxed out today?

@trainplane3 Martin just spilled the beans on why they get better bridge erections!

What have I done

Approximately 120 based on a report of BG 103 claimed about 15 minutes before it cutoff.

What number BG are they on now?

64

What have I done

Oh no! I'm going to be turned in to a Ready-Teller, "I'm sorry, you're overdrawn." This is a nightmare!

 

[Rob562]

Just called my group 64 at 2:45. Finishing my Trandoshan Ale and then heading over...

I would prefer a later BG. It's all about how it goes, no way to plan really. My goal...just try to get one. The friend I'm going with just went for one day, got a BG no problem and rode! I'm so jealous.

YAY! I have a friend who has group 84. He is likely pleased.

Yep! At 73 now so hopefully he'll be in line soon.

looks to be humming today! Or boarding groups are smaller in size

It’s having a good afternoon. 45 more groups with an 8 pm cut off.

 

[CastAStone]

It has lots of cutting edge stuff... the difference is it's more like '1 ride, multiple fixed vehicles' where RoTR is like multiple rides, without fixed vehicles, and all trying to dance together.

IIRC Touringplans research showed MFSR operating at wildly different number over the many times they counted the guests exiting the ride, ranging from 50% to 90%+ of planned capacity. It’s a totally different setup though - a cycle loading ride repeated many times. If one pod breaks down it doesn’t effect the others (just like how if the left Dumbo breaks, they don’t just dump the queue). But let’s be clear - the data suggests that pods broke down all the time.

He's having a Surly Sarlacc while he waits.

What will happen if they get through the groups before park close?

 

[ToTBellHop]

Nothing today. If they keep going through all groups, though, it will operate better without next-day FPs. And they’ll keep releasing more groups per day.

The engineers rejoice that they get more than 8 hours to troubleshoot overnight.

Absolutely. There is no reason to open Standby for an hour. They’d be mobbed. And then people would start PLANNING to camp out from 4 pm on. Then 3 pm. Then 2 pm.

Perhaps 2 carousels vs 4? Maybe if things are light they only run one chess room.

I’m not able to show behind the scenes photos off as often as some here, but I wanted to share this image of the gentleman currently deciding how many boarding groups will be released tomorrow:
