Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[Steph15251]

Frankly, from what I’ve seen and heard about this attraction, Horizons and Journey into Imagination were more logistically cutting edge when they opened for their time period. Obviously, an attraction built in 2019 has more impressive tech, but considering that Horizons featured 54 AAs, two IMAX (“Omnimax”) screens, multiple levels, and a pick-your-own ending, that level of immersion and cut-no-corners approach has rarely been surpassed since then. Even Indy Jones uses painted flats, while Spider-Man and Potter rely on projections.

IMO,I think it depends on what way you see it.Horizens was my fav ride at Epcot I was sad when they closed it and I really miss the ride ,but I never look at it as cutting edge but when you are a kid you do not think of those things.for me I do not care if something is cutting edge or not.

MFSR, like Batuu, suffers from once you get your photos in front of the Falcon, at the chess table, and in the cockpit, there isn’t a great desire to return.

Personally, I love returning to the land. Its funny to see people interact with the stormtroopers and to stand by Oga’s to see their reaction to the Falcon for the first time.

My DH may have had a tear in his eye when he saw the Falcon for the 1st time. He loved GE and would quite happily have spent hours there just wandering around.

Do all of the Westworld Storm Troopers have a head movement or are most of them static figures?

It should also be noted that with Nien Nunb and the Mon Calamari figure there will be 3 of those (1 in each rotating cabin).

yes, good point. One for each cabin

Probe Droid! Anyone notice the probe droid from one of the most recent Rise of the Resistance videos? You'll encounter it after the "Disco Room" in one of the first floor hallway corners. photo: Disney

Excuse me? You were so convinced that they were not even going to be in the same room





Besides, the camera and youtube don’t film/show in the same refresh rate as the human eye. A fast spinning blade will look very differently with the naked eye versus a camera.

It looks like I expected... not great. It’s impossible to tell if they are behind something or not.

 

[Hawg G]

It’s more akin to a modern day IJA.

Of course, it isn’t anywhere near as groundbreaking as Indy, even 20+ years later.

You can’t judge that because you are looking at a youtube video with a maximum framerate of 60, with the posibility that Disney filmed in an even lower rate.

Indeed. There’s not a lot that’s groundbreaking unlike IJA in 95. It’s the amalgamation of dozens of already seen tech and techniques that I hope will make it greater than the sum of its parts as it were (though the parts are pretty good to start with)

For example, are trackless vehicles groundbreaking? No, but other than Luigi’s little dancing ride, this is their American premier! Lots of stuff will seem groundbreaking though it may not technically be.

Kong is trackless at Universal and Antartica ride at Seaworld....so not the American premiere

Ok.

True. Antarctica is also LPS as opposed to embedded sensors / wire.

My mistake, this will be their Disney American premier.

My feelings on MFSR... It's a "one and done." The queue is better than the ride.

That's not low for a ride with no FP.

Considering it was 105+ last week, it's low.

If that’s the metric then every ride is stinky and has low waits because wait times are longer on New Year’s Eve.

These comparisons are silly. It’s the first ride to open without fast pass in 20 years, so it is hard to compare to any recent ride. People complained that it was so hard, and is still so hard to get on flight of passage, so they change the system, and now, apparently, it’s a failure? Again, they had hoped for better, in terms of response, but it is still being well received. They have admitted that they messed up the opening. We will see what rise does to change that.

I remember a small number of very vocal individuals complaining that flight of passage was very underwhelming. What do you think is the general guest view of flight of passage?

 

[Steph15251]

For me I feel rides do not have to be ground breaking to be great.At this point of age they used nearly all the ride tech out there.Most of what they can do these days is improve that tech.

Comparing wait times is a poor metric, but then - I'm not saying it IS a metric. Just that the wait times have dropped from last week's very busy period over this week's somewhat slower one. So yeah, horses for courses.

But MFSR still stinks.

I don’t know that you’re going to like what’s to come in the years ahead, unfortunately...

I beg to differ. RotR looks awesome. So does Rat. And GotG. And Tron. Jury's still out on MMRT (but it's filling the shoes of TGMR).

Heh. I’ll be curious to read your views of the finished products.
