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

[RobWDW1971]

But even if that wasn't the case, I don't see how it's the fault of the imagineers. Unless you want them to make bad rides, anything good is going to have strong demand.

True, and this ROTR process has also ensured we no longer have to hear people on these boards pretend there was ever strong demand for MFSR. An additional plus.

3pm and the first backup group (103) has been called.

Ha! The demand seemed strong last week. Everytime I looked the waits were too long for me to want to ride. We were at HS three days and I never did ride it. Then again, that I wasn't particularly bothered by not getting to ride it may not say much for it.

There's also lots of people who think Harry Potter is at Disney.

You mean it’s not?? Crap!

Pretty on par with Friday - group 159 at 6:18 (same group was 6:11 on Friday)

Apparently this was a thing early this morning around 8am. I was BG 46 today and this was not implemented at all, which was around 11am. I wonder if anyone here with an earlier boarding group can attest to this..

I will really hate if their solution to capacity is to ruin all the show pacing and reveals inside the ride

 

[tallica]

Sorry if already asked. Can you join a boarding group if you have fast passes at another park?

Yes, it is independent of fast passes.

Uh they do it across property why would they not? Theres no incentive for them. Movie is bombing on top of it so i assume capacity is going to take priority above all else.

This doesn’t increase capacity and is not intentional.

“Bombing” is certainly an interesting word for it.

$175 million for the first 4 days is hardly "bombing."

I know it doesn't increase theoretical capacity, but is it related to keeping dispatches ontime? An eagerness to send groups early to make sure there is no delay or cascade?

I would assume the operators have control over the timing of groups moving from each area and there just being minimums to run the show elements? Obviously this attraction is more complex than most others as there are multiple staging points (and groups) to progress through. But hopefully it's something within Ops control to maintain their dispatches w/o the need to 'stuff the room'

Like I said this is not intentional. This is a result of issues with the attraction delaying dispatches. This causes a backup into the hanger before operations has time to adjust the flow through the transport ships.

166 groups today. Solid showing. Can’t wait to get back there in a couple weeks!

 

[Crunchie9]

Pop resort left a message saying resort buses will start operating at 5:30am tomorrow - SkyLine is down until after 7:45.

 

[DreamFlightFlier]

Any word if that opening day merch is still around? Got me eyes on that first order transport toy...

 

[MisterPenguin]

Good recovery...

I'd say that may have been the case initially, but doesn't seem to be the case anymore. With the current system opening groups at park open time and ample backup distribution there doesn't seem to be a need to get up at 5:30 or stand in the rain in order to ride..

Unless they were to routinely open the park at a pre determined time, before the posted time, for a period.
