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

[MickeyCB]

And I wonder if they will announce when it goes on line. Or do we have to walk around with our nose in our phone. SDD was a hoot while refreshing.

Did you get to ride today?!

Announcement went off at 9:59 saying there’s a technical issue with the BG process this morning. (I’m back yes)

Back again?

Managed to get the illusive group 1 yesterday at the delayed 12pm drop.

Who cares? guests were waiting in 8-9 hour lines for frozen when it opened as well.. Flight of Passage had 3-4 hour waits for a long time as well.

The problem is that ROTR is much less reliable than those attractions. And when it goes down, the standby line either has to 1) wait it out or 2) be dumped out and given a pass to return later. Neither option is good, and it's a huge operations pain.

(Also, FWIW Frozen Ever After never had an 8-9 hour wait.)

Standby was considered for RotR with the mother of all overflow queues, but VQ was considered less risky at the moment.

45 minutes in and no groups have been called yet today.

Managed to snag group 18. On a Galaxy 5s no less

 

[DCBaker]

Groups started being called around 11:10am.

10am slots filled in ~8 seconds.

How much lower can this be realistically be pushed? Will be soon need to subscribe to a bot service to guarantee a BG? Groups being open for 8 seconds is beyond insanity.

And we're down.

[DCBaker]

Around 2:10pm, groups have begun being called again.

 

[DCBaker]

80 is the last group of the night, called around 7pm (5 groups less than yesterday).

Everything seemed to be working well this morning.

Don’t leave @gerarar hanging. Wet noodle status is always required

And are we just assuming probe laser never works so “everything works” excludes this?

The “wet noodle” has been working since it got fixed all those months ago I’m pretty sure. Only stops working when the whole scene goes into B-mode.

Probe droid laser and the blaster effects in big room are the only ones that still need fixing I’m pretty sure. Plus some RVs still experience the audio issues when entering big room (confirmed as of yesterday still happening).

Correct, plus the blasters. Final Kylo was in A mode and we didn’t experience the audio issue. So almost everything

I think the probe droid was working on one of my rides a couple weeks ago. Or at least partially working? I know there was something happening with it on one ride, but nothing on the other.
