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

Way faster then that. I was denied at 7:00am and 04 seconds

There has to be a better way. The Marquee attraction oh, the number one reason people are buying a ticket to the theme park, and Disney can't even guarantee they'll be able to experience it.

I feel for any guests that travels to WDW from any distance dropping some sort of shiney Penny to get here to experience this attraction..... the anticipation of having to wait until the day of your part reservation to find out if you can go on the attraction.... the other disappointment when they lose the virtual queue Lottery.

You are absolutely correct. I come to this thread once every month or so just to see if this ridiculousness is going on. I cannot fathom how one builds a mega-headliner attraction like this, that you advertise to the world - and then only a select percentage of guests even get the chance to ride it, if they know all the secrets. Especially given that you have to make park specific reservations on top of it.

I guess I'm just old school...I fully expect a super long wait, heck, make me wait 3 or 4 hours if the attraction is that new and popular - but at least give me the option of waiting in that line, so the whole point of visiting the resort to ride the newest attraction isn't for nothing.

It's my favorite effect when it's working. I'm beginning to fear it may turn into this ride's version of the yeti and just never be bothered to be fixed.

Were working great two different days on my trip two weeks ago.

The first cannon will move, the second and third won't.

Guessing? Probably. the ride can probably see about 17000 to 19000 riders daily not including downtimes. I don't know how many they let into the park.

It's getting closer to 13K-16K per day based on boarding group distributions
