Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

I managed to get on it tonight before the breakdown. It is very good. Also very, very complicated.

Breakdown on Media night. Perhaps the most important takeaway on ROTR.


Under over on whether it’s down more tomorrow than up?

@lentesta Would you rank it up there with the best of the best in Orlando? FoP? Spider Man?

Disney can't win with you, can they?

Did you see the X-wings? We’re they as meh in person as on the live stream?

My travel agent buddy couldn’t ride tonight. Broken down.

Bummer!!

It’s a legit question/concern. It can be the best ride ever made, but if it’s down when you want to go in it after waiting multiple hours, well you tell me...

Wonder if the Boarding Groups will be initiated tomorrow. I got Oga reservations Thursday and Friday, so, I have guaranteed entrance to the land.

It looks amazing but theres a huge issue. In two weeks the new movie comes out if kylo is redeemed (becomes good) or is killed (or finn or poe) the whole story feels suddenly dated?

I’m at the media event now. After the opening ceremony, I walked over to the ride, and they told me to come back later. I came back 45 min later and they said it’s down for the night.

Ohhh! It's broken down for the entire night. Funny how that works, almost like someone mysterious jinxed it.

Which now entirely explains the weird and stilted language Mr. Chapek used in the opening ceremony where he ended by not inviting the crowd to experience the new ride, but instead invited them to go shopping and "live your own adventure" in Star Wars Land instead.

They must have known that the ride was broken when the ceremony was happening, so they switched to the "Ride Doesn't Work" script and programmed that into Mr. Chapek's sport coat circuits just before he went onstage.

Did they at least have the blonde twink fighter pilot available for photos instead of a working attraction?

eh, you could make the same argument for harry potter & the forbidden journey. people don’t seem to mind.

People have had no problem labeling Hargrid as the best ride even though that ride had terrifying & disappointing waits.

Same can be said of Harry Potter rides.

ROTR takes place between TLJ & ROS, so just gotta accept that

Vader was redeemed yet he’s only a villain in endeavor he’s featured in.

You know if WDI and Universal Creative didn’t like your resume, there’s always SeaWorld.

I mean you have to admit the new Sesame Street Land, hits all the right notes with the kids, the parade is decent and there summer night laser / fireworks / rave show is pretty darn good.

I think most people can just accept the rides and movies are not exactly the same story and just one possible extension of it. Iron Man ride (in Hong Kong) is really fun just the same even after you know his fate in the films.

I watched a video ride-through at the Site That Shall Not Be Named, and eh. It's all very slick and pretty. But please tell me why I'm supposed to care about Rey, be scared of Kylo, or give a damn about The Resistance. I cared about the Jedi, et al, in the OT because I cared about the characters and what would happen to them. The razzle-dazzle effects were the icing; the characters were the cake. Compared to the OT, Iger's Star Wars is just a bunch of woke empty calories. Again, meh.

Do I care about any of the characters on Pirates or Mansion? Nope. Still great rides. Still love the pirate ship attacking the fort scene or the graveyard scene. By the way, I’ll take Rey over whiney Luke any day.

Personally I believe the Iron Man Experience is one of the worst attractions ever produced by WDI.

However, yes, I do agree that films and theme park attractions can coexist despite differing routes with the IP.
