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

[HoustonHorn]

So I know crowds are down, but the reports of so much in B-mode raises a question - are the running the attraction with more in B-mode, and is that part of the reason for the high number of BGs getting on?

I don’t think it’s really related. The prior two days had everything working and still made it into the 180s. I just don’t think that if certain effects are down (like Kylo) they bother to try and fix mid day. They’d rather just keep it running than have to shut it down to fix.

I think that’s reasonable for everything other than when the pre shows are down.

7am window was open for ~14 seconds.

 

[MagicFantasmic]

Got group 43! Hope things are kinda working

 

[DCBaker]

9:45am - groups have not begun calling for the day yet.

 

[Overlordkitty]

Got group 4! Thank you all so much for all your advice, it worked!

Now they just need to start boarding....

 

[DCBaker]

Groups began being called just after 10am (1-7). Groups started calling ~62 minutes later than yesterday.

 

[Overlordkitty]

Ride is currently down.

 

[DCBaker]

1pm window has been open for more than ~10 minutes - at 1pm, groups were called up to 38 (30 groups less than yesterday).

Given how few groups have been processed, it's pretty impressive there's still groups available. At this rate they'll be lucky to get to 130.

Most as normal - just final Kylo in B mode when we were on at 1.

 

[DCBaker]

Boarding groups closed for new joins at 2:35pm.

 

[MagicFantasmic]

Yeah Kylo at end was B mode which was cool since I haven’t seen his b mode clip yet.

 

[DCBaker]

154 is the last group of the night, called around 9pm (37 groups less than yesterday).

I had the worst ride ever today (BG 19). No pre-shows at all, walked down hallway (someone asked why is there a door with a window showing a car parked. They were very confused). Audio in car cut in/out. Plus the usual 1 cannon and Kylo in B mode. Basically 60% of the ride wasn't in operation. >When I worked Pirates we had only 1 animatronic "lead" - if the auctioneer went down the ride was down. Period< Even worse I found out the reason no pre-shows is one cabin out of the 3 wasn't working and so they decided to run poor show rather than 2/3 capacity. It used to be safety, courtesy, show, capacity. Now its safety, capacity, courtesy, show.

This kind of thing isn't going to fly when they're charging people an additional fee to ride. Just skipping the preshow alone is enough for a refund.

The disneyland one was running great a few weeks ago. I thought they had worked most of the kinks out by now.

This is very concerning for my first (attempt to) ride tomorrow.
