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

[AshaNeOmah]

Anybody know the unofficial Skyliner times the last few days? I thought I had read 6 AM but aren't able to find it. The signs at the Pop/AoA station say 7:30 AM.

Its easy to do............Just have EMH in the morning for resort guests only (like they do now) and have the BG's booked when EMH hours begin..........If they sell out, then day guests do not get access to BG's..........If they do not, then days guests get access at regular park opening hours. They could do EMH hours 3 or 4 days a week so both groups would have a (relatively) equal shot of getting access when the park opens

That is one of the worst ideas i have ever heard.

When the last Kylo is broken, he instead flies in from the side in a TIE and shoots at you.

I believe there is a resistance ship fighting on you that's paired with the ceiling collapse. Is this an alternative to that?

192 will be hard to top!

According to Thrill Data, it was 193!

Are we still estimating that a boarding group is 100 people?

If so they got 19,000 people on the ride yesterday, roughly 25% of the park’s capacity. Not bad.

Skyliner wasn't going to run until 7:30. Got here at 6:10. Lines were halfway between ticket booth and security. Waiting on park opening now.

Edit: 6:32 Open, through the gate at 6:49, 7:01 BG 30.

 

[DCBaker]

7:25am regular boarding groups full.

 

[scottieRoss]

Got here about 610, park open at 632 and got boarding group 39.
Waiting patiently, but seems stuck on group 29 for a bit

Left our hotel 7:40. Arrived 8:10 at gate. Got BG 154!! Second time riding it since Sunday!!

We're gonna take the Skyliner to Epcot now.

Edit: also got a FP to ride ToT just now. Great start for today!!

 

[DCBaker]

9am and all backup boarding groups now full (25 minutes earlier than yesterday). Backup groups start at 122.

 

[AshaNeOmah]

Stuck on 29. We've got 30. And now it's trying to rain.

Great.

 

[AshaNeOmah]

Go to Pizza Rizzo to the left of the main GE entrance
there is roofed overhang/balcony on the 2nd floor where you can hang out with outlets.

We were there when they called 30. In line now.

Just got off... A+++. The best dark ride I've ever experienced, hands down.

Now to decide if I want to try it over the next week+...

I think it's a must do (again). We rode it for the first time on Sunday and were immediately very impressed. Today we went to HS around 7:40 to grab a (late) BG than park hop over to Epcot. We'll just go back to HS when our time is called as there's a 2hr window.

They haven’t got nearly that many on the ride.

The ride is continuing to mostly perform better-er. Not amazing (yet) but less bad days. The single best day by a long shot was yesterday. The worst was within a week after opening. The operational design capacity hasn’t been reached yet.

They haven’t got nearly that many on the ride and probably never will.

So a boarding group isn't 100 guests anymore?

It doesn’t seem to be.

(I edited my original post to never say never)

Changes to the WDW FP system are slowly creeping forwards still.

After this past trip, I wish they’d just outright remove it. But they wouldn’t be able to capitalize on no FP now would they?

 

[socalkdg]

I would think not although the Boarding Group system is way better. Can they do both?

You could try. Give 25% FP(or 10% or 50% or whatever they want to choose). You choose a boarding group that you would like to get. 1-150. Then at opening fill in the rest.
