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

[gerarar]

Today is plagued with a lot of issues as last night it seems:

Only running one transport on track B route. No preshows. B-mode in various scenes.


Sad as it’s just a few days away that the attraction will be celebrating its one year birthday..

Dear oh dear.

 

[wdwmagic]

Ouch, not good.

The air blasts don’t function if Kylo is in B-mode.

Thanks, I kinda figured this was the case.

It’s always one step forward, five steps back with this ride.

Does anyone have any news of progress with this ride’s maintenance/reliability?

We’re nearing the anniversary of this attraction and it’s harder to get on it now than it was a year ago.

2pm slots filled in ~5 seconds. Current groups called up to 38 (same group number as yesterday).

80 is the last group of the night, called around 6:20pm (6 groups less than yesterday).

Two days in a row where they didn’t call groups one hour after official park opening. I wonder what’s wrong, could it be the preshows again?

I heard from someone who was there on Monday that they blamed the start delay on the morning thunderstorms (Skyliner was down as well). They were afraid they wouldn’t be able to ride before needing to leave for the airport. Fortunately, they got BG 20 and were able to ride and make it back for their ME bus pickup time.

7am slots filled in ~10 seconds.

Well we got group 83 this morning. Is that a record for highest group in the morning lol? Considering the last two days have finished 86 and 80 we’re not feeling too confident.

 

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 9:40am (1-10).

I really hope they are trying things out at DLR RotR. With the park shut down for the foreseeable future it seems like a golden opportunity to work on programing and sensor issues without fearing the need to open back up at 10am. I'm sure there are minor differences between the two rides, but lessons learned should be able to carry over to DHS.

 

[JT308]

It’s been down/queue empty for around an hour so far. Got to 32-40.

 

[DCBaker]

2pm slots filled in ~6 seconds. Current groups called up to 49 (11 more groups than yesterday).

 

[DCBaker]

90 is the last group of the night, called around 6:40pm (10 groups more than yesterday).

 

[JT308]

Group 83 got called around 6. About an hour on to off with muppets extended queue. Everything working, except the 2nd and 3rd cannons.

 

[DCBaker]

7am slots filled in ~9 seconds.

11:15am - groups have yet to begin being called today.

12pm - groups have yet to begin being called today.

Still surprised on-site guests are not given a (slight) advantage over off-site tickets either. Why not release a block of boarding groups exclusive to on site guests at 6:45 - would that work or just make issues more complicated? Unsuccessful efforts forfeit the opportunity to grab a group at 7 but can try again at 2? This is slowly turning in to the Haley's Comet of attractions.

 

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called at 12:10pm (1-4).
