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

[UNCgolf]

1pm window has been open for more than ~10 minutes - at 1pm, groups were called up to 70 (2 groups more than yesterday)

So same technical issues two days in a row?

Or is it possible that demand for the ride is finally slowing down and all the people who really wanted to ride were able to get a BG in the morning set?

The latter doesn't seem likely, as even if that was starting to happen, the groups shouldn't be open for 10+ minutes right away. It would be a slower process.

An hour later, boarding groups remain open to join.

I don’t see why this is even a surprise? There were a streak of days months ago and even before the closure where the groups were open for minutes and even hours. Could just be another slow day (or days in this case) at HS.

Still available as of 4:15 pm?!? Am I seeing that right?

Yes - still open to join.

Why did they open a ride knowing most people won't be able to experience it? Is there any plan for them to end this ridiculous system in the future?

In my opinion, if they eliminated boarding groups and went with standby only, there would still be people who wouldn’t get to ride. It would also create a rush at park open of those trying to get in line right away. I don’t mind the boarding group system because I know I can attempt to obtain a group at 7 am at my hotel or home and then plan out how the rest of my day is going to play out.

Is it weird that now I'm almost giddy checking the app every few minutes to see if BG are still available and what group they are on? Is it possible that we are going to hit 200??? Okay, maybe that's a stretch but certainly a damn good day so far!

I'm amazed at how empty the parks appear to be right now. Practically everything at DHS looks like a walk on. Even FOP over at AK is only a 35 minute line.

I'm wondering if that's just because schools are going back and summer crowds are doing their annual thinning????? @lentesta any thoughts?

 

[brifraz]

Still open????!!! That's nuts.

Boarding groups closed for new joins tonight around 6:55pm.

Thank you for not coming again until after I leave. One less experienced user I need to virtually fight for a spot

Boarding groups closed for new joins tonight around 6:55pm.

My last check was at 6:53pm. Wonder what group number was being distributed at that time. Looks like they are at 169 as of 7:30pm with an hour and a half to go. Hoping for some days like this next week when I'm there!

170 is the last group of the night, called around 8:10pm (52 groups more than yesterday).

Last time Rise hit at least 170 was 6/13/21.

Considering how light the crowds are, this may have been the highest percentage of park attendance experiencing the ride on any given day since opening.

Considering how long the afternoon boarding groups were available, you could probably say that every single person who wanted to ride it today was able to ride it.

Rise ended the night with walk-ons - no boarding groups needed.

Hope that happens again on Friday when I’m there
