Who has rode today? (Sunday 1/19)
Any effects not working? (@disneygeek90 posted a bunch with a spoiler tag earlier)
Trying to get an idea if my 131 is called, should drive back out to park or not bother (if too many effects are still missing).

I’m interested to see if the effects on the other track are running. Go check for me lol

other track? I wasn’t under the impression there were multiple rooms for any of this stuff, just the loading area.

I must say, I was surprised on my FIRST ride through Rise of the Resistance at Walt Disney World that I noticed the grey roof of MuppetVision peeking over the cliffs of the Rise queue as we pulled out of the building into the unload area. And I really wasn't looking for it - I'm sure most people never see it, but it seemed like it would have taken very little to cover it up.
With all the trouble the seem to have gone to with sightlines in SWGE I wouldn't have expected this one to be leftover.

I prefer alien saucers greatly. Better lighting, atmosphere, and the aliens talking is better than mater singing

i just mean all my issues were car position specific. The sitting down Finn AA, beck line, Kylo walk and ceiling saber could all be working fine on the side AT-AT car.

It's more the the vehicles split partway through the ride and end up traveling through different courses - those courses move through different sides of a shared room, into separate rooms that are identical to each other, and through separate hallways that are very similar but offer slightly differing versions of an experience. This starts when they each head up a different elevator. The vehicles do reunite after this sequence.

A few sight line issues were.... found... very late on in construction.
Mind you, you can see Anaheim’s steel support towers holding up the rocks from outside the land but in the park, and the Pixar Pals parking structure from in the land.

Sad. Guests should not be loaded if the ride is acting like this

I can't say I feel completely justified holding this one against them, but I was (very) mildly miffed last week when I went to take this otherwise cool-ish cellphone shot of Galaxy's Edge from the Skyliner and the unfinished Spires messed with the effect. Nothing a little Photoshop can't fix, but that doesn't help the view when you're a guest gliding over the DHS Parking Lot. Or driving along World Drive and Osceola Parkway on your way to the park. But hopefully trees will help that particular view, eventually, unlike Pandora which has made no effort to plant around its bus route-facing side.
On that note, remind me to bring my telephoto lens next time I'm in Orlando so I can try to get this pic for real!

I was greeting at the exit when I noticed this. It's very very obvious, but to be fair, it's not a position that guests typically stick around in.

It won’t be a problem once they demolish that building and extend Star Wars land into Grand Avenue to be an area based on the original trilogy.

Totally - I was amazed that it grabbed me like that on the first time through. I tend to be a stickler for thematic intrusion, but I seriously wasn't seeking it out and was mostly surprised it was there at all given how minor it was.
I found a glimpse of it in some Youtube footage - the photo is admittedly doctored to adjust the levels for viewing clarity, since the sky gets blown out in most video cameras given the indoor/outdoor nature of the unload. It is though, as you can imagine, more clear what it is when you see it in person, and they stare you right down the barrel of it since it's dead ahead as the vehicle faces that way through its continuous motion:
Now, this is the sort of thing I'm "willing to let slide" vs. something like the Guardians showbuilding at Epcot, which I've been outspoken against on these boards, but it does kinda seem funny that they didn't manage to cover it up since it IS so small. I know rockwork ain't cheap, but there was no way of going a little higher and ridding themselves of the thing? Or at least painting the MuppetVision building a more sympathetic color instead of the weird gray they repainted it in the advent of SWGE?
That . . . doesn't sound like anything anyone has indicated is coming. But if you know something we don't, feel free to share!
we are back

Witten will apparently do anything to not think about the horror of calling games again - even play for the Giants
Oh, and congrats - let us know what effects are working!
All in good fun, Giants fans
