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

[steveNJ]

Roughly 20 minutes or so with no slow downs/stops.

Cool, plus walking time to it, FP is 9:15 so if I get an early group and no stops it’ll be good

3pm - groups currently called 53-68.

Better than yesterday, but still seems sluggish - pacing is averaging just over 9.5 groups per hour for the day so far.

I'm flying in tomorrow to try to cram in as much Disney as I can in 2 days before this unfortunate shut down. Hoping to get to ride ROTR on Sunday.

Hopefully they will take all the cast members and keep running them through the ride while they are closed to be able to continue fine tuning operations!

I kinda wanted to do that myself! Are the hotel deals good?

$200 a night for the music resort. I had this trip planned months ago for my daughter's spring break, but had to add an extra night to at least get 2 days in before the parks close. I haven't negotiated compensation for my trip being shorten.

What!? That’s like new year’s prices.

It’ll be worth it for a last hoorah though!

That’s very cool! Apparently the same thing happens in the elevators in the AT-AT room.

also I saw on Twitter that Bek was down in at least one transporter.

For all the talk of me being bad luck, I’ve never actually been on the ride while it’s broke down. In 18 tries. Who’s bad luck now

Skipping pre shows yikes.

Backup boarding groups still available at 9am.

And still available at 9:21 AM. I'm both surprised and not surprised. It will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

Some news and notes while we waited. Chatting with an area manager of the ride and talked about they are still building ride vehicles, hence capacity is not where it’s at and also yesterday they were running at almost half capacity hence the low # of BG.

take that for what it’s worth. He seemed knowledgeable about what is going on (at least outwardly)
