…you know…this never occurred to me?
Some opinions are better than others. I’m not in charge of picking the “winners”…but that statement is a fact.

You forgot the 12 second sim at the end…
it’s not fast…and “trackless” in this case doesn’t vary…which makes it kinda irrelevant.
And “you don’t care what it’s about?”
its Star Wars…perhaps you’ve heard of it?
Perhaps they ripped half the trees out of Disneyland for extra waiting areas prior to opening…cause it’s Star Wars. And no other reason?

I get it. You don't like the ride. Many do. Move on.

What makes you think it’s about me?
…it’s not…it’s about some attempt at objectivity. I miss a lot…but I try.
“Many”…can you loan me “many dollars”? I’ll pay you back in “not many” days
how many times have you been on this thing?

It's faster than Small World, isn't it? That's fast for me. And I want trackless, never tried it, so even if it's irrelevant, it still sounds neat. I don't know what they did to Disneyland to build that thing, but one cannot look at the past, but rather make the most out of the present. And in the present, after $1 billion, we have RotR. You can ride it, or you can mourn over what could have been done with $1B. Best option: enjoy RotR the best you can and never look back at the trees that got ripped out.
I don't know what "the 12 second sim" means. I'll figure it out when I get on the ride. I'm planning on going in 2 years.

There's always a chance that Rise could go down, so I wouldn't recommend waiting until the very end of the day.
The 15 minutes is also probably more representative of the current crowds than anything. That being said, the recent obsession with rope dropping has diminished its benefits while maximized the benefits of park-closing.

People keep referring to ROTR as a "ride". It is much more than that, it's an experience. If I went to HS one day and could do nothing more than go on the ROTR experience I would still leave happy.
Anyway, I'm trying not to give away any secrets for anyone who has not done it yet but have any of you come up with any wisecracks or something to say to the First Order officers as they eye you up and down? I tried using the Jedi mind trick on one by waving my fingers like Obi-Wan Kenobi did in the movie when they were questioned by the stormtroopers about the droids and I said something like, "These are not the humans you are looking for" but he didn't fall for it.

Let's just call it fixed path since there's no randomized movement. Thoroughly scripted movement.

Splash Mountain, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, and Kilimanjaro Safaris.

What is the rating here? Ride? Wait times?

Ahh sorry. Everyone here was arguing FOP vs RotR with their personal choice and I was attempting to give a more objective rating based on Touring Plan's ratings. They don't give a ton of information on their methodology except: "The following list shows attractions with appeal by age group. Attraction ratings are on a scale from 0 (very bad) to 5 (excellent). Click on the header links to sort!"
I have my own feelings on RotR vs FOP, as many on this forum do... but no one really cares which one I like more. Instead Touring plans giving RotR a 5 and FOP a 4.5 shows me that in general people really like both rides, but prefer RotR to FOP.

I finally had the chance to ride RotR earlier this month.
On the IP: I personally found the first two films of the new trilogy to be quite nice whereas the final one I thought might be their worst movie ever. I understand why people view something like the new trilogy to be soulless, but it's still being made by thousands of artists who truly do care and and I think universally finding it soulless to be unfair. I also find them generally better made than the prequels. I really connected to the characters and thought they had really beautiful moments and character developments the first two movies.
Anyway, when it comes to the ride, RotR is the most immersive ride I have ever been on. Even if you don't love the new movies, I find it truly remarkable and exciting. I won't spoil it, but I haven't been so delighted by the entire experience of a ride, starting with the queue/pre-shows since the original HP ride. And I think RotR surpasses it in many ways (although no ride compares to wading through Hogwarts to me).
I liked SR too actually, but agree it needs randomized adventures and I don't know why they didn't put in efforts so that the actions you take, even if only a few per ride, can alter how the story progresses. If each ride had a few twists and endings that varied based on how your team did, that would be amazing. Maybe in the future? Maybe when they build some integration with the Star Wars hotel?

Touring Plans’ methodology for ride ratings uses feedback from both users of their app / website and the Unofficial Guide.Ahh sorry.

Yes, although it's worth pointing out that the "Our Rating" is their own editorial rating of an attraction, and then the specific demographic ratings are based on their surveys.

I wonder, do the entire rope goes straight to Star Wars Land? or still the majority go for the TOWER OF TERROR?

that and the animatronics of the main cast look hideous XD
Funny, considering how good the Mon Calamari and robot ones look XD
