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

[Purduevian]

I'm sure you're right -- but I think it's still a bit of a D move by Disney, which surely has sufficient resources to pay people to work on these issues during the 10-12 hours the park is shut down for the night (or the park is open, but RoTR is down, for EMH).

It's not always about money or time. Sometimes things shut down because 28 things happened an a very specific order or at the same time. This error could happen 5 times in a hour and then not again for a week if you fix it using the quick fix above. This error might be repeatable in the short term because 26 of those things are still actively happening, the goal of the long down time would be to figure out what those 28 things are, how they are interacting, and why it is causing a shut down. On the other hand a simple reset or clearing of the system might make the ride work great again with no errors... but no one knows when those 28 things will line up again OR what happened in the first place.

You're assuming those fixes can be done in one night.

I was comparing time spent during an afternoon of presumably-scheduled-downtime (e.g., today, if the theory as to why so few guaranteed boarding groups were issued is correct) to the amount of time that could be be spent overnight. (In other words, instead of shutting down the attraction for 4-or-so hours while the park is open to perform pre-planned fine-tuning or repairs, work on it for 8 hours at night instead.) I certainly don't mean to imply that everything that's wrong with an attraction that keeps going down, every day, for multiple hours, could possibly be fixed in a single night... or even a single year.

Try removing from the mde app on your phone. I had issues with my parents' profiles on the website with the same error message. I was able to do do it on the the phone. On Android, that is the bottom right most button (hamburger button) > My Profile > Family & Friends List

Thanks for the tip! I think I finally got rid of the one that kept giving me the error message.

1pm - moving along a bit better now. Current groups called 32 - 53.

I'm going to bet the downtimes are not pre-planned. I think it's more of, we are giving ourselves more time to diagnose and fix assuming the ride goes down today.

I was lucky to get BG20 today. I followed the tips from here and this is the first time I got less than 50. Thanks guys!!

I rode after it came back up and Kylo seemed to be in A mode on our track. (We went forward to the interrogation rooms) We started out in the room on the left thats out of sync, but when that room went down so they had to move us to another interrogation room on the right side. Everything ran smoothly after that and all the special effects were working. Yay!

Final regular boarding group (63) was just called at 2:08pm. On to backups!

S

Surely there's gotta be some explanation. I would just love to know what it is.

Superbowl parade today, and they are all going to visit parks, including getting on ROTR. Since I’m sure that would be multiple entourages and not just 2 or 3 people they are probably spacing out to make sure they can do it today.

3pm - the momentum continues with current groups called 54-74.

 

[ImperfectPixie]

Do we have any idea of how many backup groups have been distributed on these days that have had such a low number of guaranteed groups? Do we know if the group size was changed?

Thrill-data site tracks all of this.. except for group size. No one knows.. only speculation. Hopefully Len's group will give us a data backed estimate soon.

 

[DCBaker]

4:55pm - no movement for just over the last hour. The last new group (85) was called at ~3:48pm.

ETA - groups started again with 86 being called around 5:10pm.

Currently sipping a bourbon in Columbia, SC when I get the notification that my boarding group has been called (I was sure with the morning sluggishness, it would never get to 87 today!), I guess the technology to ensure you are in the park doesn’t quite extend this far, not sure I’ll make it back in the one hour window

 

[HolleBolleGijs]

Got this push notification today. They must be anticipating a lot of early birds who think the park is opening at 7 a.m. tomorrow.

This was without even joining a BG this morning?
Gotta love technology sometimes.

To be fair, I was there this morning, just got there late and got a bad group number and decided to hit the road instead of wait around 9-10 more hours, haha

I thought it only looked that your admission ticket was used through the touch point?

There's nothing to see here people...move along.
