So then attempting 2 PM is somewhat risky it seems.
Groups just began being called again a few minutes ago - if no more interruptions, you could expect to be called in roughly 3 - 4 hours.
Yes, one party per car. Single riders & couples get their own ride vehicle. Capacity is probably best expressed in terms of ride vehicles / parties per hour instead of the more traditional pph way of viewing it... but any way you cut it capacity is likely restricted to just a couple hundred pph.
I haven't seen any real guesses of Studio's daily park pass capacity (10k? 15k? @marni1971 has said "shockingly low"), but I'm going to take an educated guess that Rise can't be accommodating more than an average 5,000-6,000 guests in a given 10 hour day. When I was sitting around Echo Lake securing my BG at 10am, there were many other parties in the area attempting the same... and while many were successful, clearly some were not.
I think if you follow the recent guidelines in this thread and are mindful of the clock, you're a step ahead of much of the crowd. Not many people that have come through here report failing at pulling a BG, and when they do it's issues related to My Magic or a device crash... not the process. I easily pulled a low BG # on my first attempt. I'd stop short of calling it a 'guarantee' though, there's too many variables outside of your control, none the least of them Rise's continued shaky reliability.
Not a bad educated guess. Your overall park guess is a bit high though

Has been down again for just under an hour, so unless things turn around, it will be very close.
That is the million dollar, or $125 per person, question.
I agree with a PP that there is a lack of people on here saying they failed to get BGs, bit if they are gone in 13 seconds, there MUST be many people a day that are left empty handed.
And I doubt GS are giving refunds, or let you go to another park, once you lose the lottery.
There really should be a hard limit on APs for the ride. Like once a month or something.

Yep, just got the message. Which is sort of weird because there’s only 18 groups ahead of me and still 2.5 hours until closing.
Ugh, sorry! It went down for another 45 minutes and just started calling again.

So went today and went like this... 10am - YAY! Got boarding pass. 1:10 - BOO! Got called, ride went down 1:45 - YAY! Ride is back up - everything except probe droid display working (also, I'm sure its me, but it seems the cars are going faster between sequences). BOO! - Ride goes down, but I'm already back into the unload area but not quite at unload. YAY! They gave me a fast pass anyways. YAY! Used it at runaway railroad instead LOL

Were they running two RVs or one RVs per dispatch? I saw some videos from today that they’re only running one every cycle.

First time rider. I have a party of 5. Should I try to reserve them all at once or in two smaller groups? We are going on 9/22, a Tuesday, and expect the crowds to be down a little with school back in session.
Due to a recent update, as long as your party are all linked to you in MDE and have tapped passed the turnstiles into the park, they will be auto-selected and included in your boarding group when you complete the virtual queue process.
So, everyone in the party can be trying to get one, and the first one pulls everyone in?
