I watched the vlogger Paging Mr. Morrow the other day, and he had reservations for Olga's Cantina and tried to ride RotR first. The ride went down (of course) and he was stuck in line for an HOUR AND A HALF and couldn't leave (because his massive mother rides a scooter and you try to make your way out of a narrow queue in one of those things) and it stayed down and he still didn't get into the ride and missed his reservation and went down to Olga's and they couldn't fit him in. I think they gave him a coupon or something.

Then he went back and managed to get into RotR (his mom stayed outside just in case) and the ride was in B mode. Wow, totally worth it. Totally. :cautious::rolleyes:

From Old Key West this morning. We were trying on three devices - inside on WIFI, inside on Verizon Cell, and outside on Verizon Cell. Outside won the morning.

Do we know how many groups were distributed? I believe 184 is the new high water mark for an 8 PM closing, right?

Park close is at 9pm now. The highest group called since reopening was 198 (5/31 and 6/2), but that was around the time there were less people per group than there has been recently.

Since last Sunday they only distributed 180 groups and finished those, I'm curious how many groups they distributed yesterday. Obviously, since I'm here now and headed to HS for the day and night, I'm hoping that they 'run out' of boarding groups again and I'll have a chance to ride a second time in a day!

I know this is DHS thread but thought many on here would be interested.

Got back from DLR yesterday after spending a couple of days in the parks. Day one, we got BG 35 at the 7am drop. Got evac'd on first ride attempt as we were going under Gun 2. As we entered the Gun Room, only Gun 1 was moving. 2 and 3 were stationary. 2nd attempt a few hours later, we were evac'd in the Kylo Lightsaber Room. We made it all the way through on the third attempt.

Day two, we did the VQ for Web Slingers. About 2:15pm, we got Backup BG 307 for ROTR. Kept an eye on the ride through the day and there were several shutdowns. However, late in the day they moved pretty quickly. My wife and son were done for the day and left the Park, so I went to wait it out with three entry codes. About 8pm, BG 307 was called. I rode two times and was in line for the third time ready to board the shuttle and it shut down. The fireworks were starting and I got a few good pics and video of the fireworks show over the blue x-wing and Battu Spires. Didn't care to hang around to see if it came back up before closing.

So, three shutdowns in six ride attempts. Not sure what to say about that except maybe I was unlucky.

Also, the Probe Droid did not seem to be working properly either as it never turned around and was scanning the wall behind it. I am going to have to go back to some of my videos from Jan 2020 to remember what it is supposed to be doing.

You were likely more unlucky than average, but it’s not odd to walk up to the entrance and see the ride is down. It happened to me on Friday and yesterday. A smooth run today, but final Kylo was in B mode.

Edit: I just noticed you were talking about DLR but I guess I’m not surprised the issues sound identical.
