News Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance to begin Standby September 23rd

[Purduevian]

No, that's why I said skip.

I don't like pre-shows. It's not a big deal.

Ahh so you want to cut in front of people that wish to see the preshows?

 

[celluloid]

All a move to be ready to sell that Lightning Lane.

We need Indy, Fantasmic and other offerings back.

Yes! But unfortunately that's not possible.

Screw that been on ROR just over 20 times glad I got those out of the way. No way in Hell I would wait in that mess I love the ride but no thanks. I will head to Rock n Roller Coaster or something else..

Outdoor transmission is basically zero. The only significant documented cases of outdoor transmission came from Singaporean construction sites, which weren't ACTUALLY outdoors.

And yet…it’s still stupid in this environment

200,000 cases and 2,000 deaths a day nationally…again…and expected to rise in the coming weeks

and it’s Flor-I-DUH


Are you like Christopher walken on this?

Would you prefer to just wait in more line? Pre-shows don't delay you from getting on the ride, they just entertain you more before hand.

The Avatar pre-show is the worst

That insane crowd isn't new and has nothing to do with Rise or the VQ. Three weeks ago, I stood in that exact same "insane crowd," except we were standing near the arch of Animation Courtyard getting ready to be led to Slinky Dog Dash.

The "insane crowd" is just how rope drop works. The only thing Rise-specific is how far back they position the rope.

But with VQ there wasn't this type of RP crowd because you already knew your boarding group.

I mean, I'm as COVID-conscious as anyone - everyone in my family who can be is fully-vaxxed, and my 11 year old will be camping out to get his shot once approved, we wear masks indoors wherever we go, etc., but he's right - outdoor transmission is essentially zero.

I'd rather focus my outrage elsewhere where it really matters.

It’s not a matter of outdoor transmission…it’s packing people in tight under the last 2 years of history Is stupid anywhere and always was.

even in low crowds…I didn’t like the snakes when I was there last…it just seems like outdated thinking/design

Of course, this is the day of our park reservation for HS. I was prepared to wake in time to try for a BG and to get the family out earlier if we got a low number. Still haven't gotten to ride as the only other time I tried (and got) a BG they stopped before getting to our number.

Now to decide if I want to adjust our HS day to one before or just [probably] miss out again.

Thread Disclaimer: I've only read page 1 so far

So we went ahead and changed our day, Managed to get BG 32 at 7am and got notification just before 11am (which was perfect timing as we got there about 10:30) 6yo niece loved it and of course wanted to ride it again. Had we not gone yesterday, we wouldn't have even tried for stand by today but I'm curious to see what the crowds there today do for the other lines. When we rode SDD it was posted at a 60min wait, but was actually only about 30 min. MMRR had shown 45 min and such (whenever I looked it was always less than SSD but one of the higher ones) but we didn't ride it yesterday.

What will be interesting to see is what the lines are like on Oct 1 with Early Entry. How much of an advantage will rope dropping as a resort guest be for Rise?

Does anyone have an update on when Indy is coming back?

 

[Touchdown]

Actually there was, because everyone got up at 7 and never knew when that 60 min clock would start ticking. This crowd now just goes to Rise first instead of Slinky.

You mean for the 50th?

is that the 50th?

That is the 50th but I was referring more to the resort 30-minute early entry, which starts on Oct 1.

Well that would depend on how many rooms are filled?

hint: not that many.

…for the 50th

I think you're missing my point...

The rope drop mob makes it look worse than it is, I think.

A 120 minute stand-by time? Given the attraction's popularity, I'm okay with it. As I've said, I'll take that over spending a ton of money to go to WDW and not be able to ride the newest attraction at all.

 

[tanc]

Interesting, seems like 2 hours right now. Heard it was 3 hours earlier

 

[Notes from Neverland]

Looks like the max posted was 220 minutes before it started settling down.
