DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

Just received a call.

"Opening going better than expected. Guest reviews are exceptional."

only broke down twice so far today? and second time was a short break down? That about right?

 

[Serverfarm]

wait...A Lightsaber Battle? I have to look this up.

Makes sense to have side entertainment if the ride goes down, more drones, more actor duels, walk around, enhanced music, fireworks and likely $25 baby yodas by Saturday.

Never forget "the jungle book: alive with magic". Talk about filler-meh entertainment.

Nonetheless sounds like an opening that's par for the course with competitor parks. So I figure ops will be happy.

Yes. Breakdowns have been rather limited. Thankfully it's all hands on deck for awhile.

it’s an amazing ride I’m sure. But

Front page Drudge and other news outlets story today is Disney’s $1 Billion ride breaks down 18 minutes after opening.

The Twitter morons have tweeted.

Maybe WDI shouldn't go with the lowest bidder?

 

[mikejs78]

Except those are quickly worked out with operations. ROTR still has Imagineering involved bug fixing. I don’t know why people just want to give Disney a pass on something that isn’t ready.

Except it hasn't really gone down much.. Honestly I'm waiting for the day when you say one nice thing about Disney.

 

[Orange is the new Red]

Happy to see that reviews of the ride are extremely positive, even from credible news sources. It appears as if this ride is blowing people's expectations away.

 

[ToTBellHop]

Well page rankings show it higher as the third highest clicked news site behind MSN and Google News. So I guess some morons do.

But probably not for theme park news.

Up to group 50!

 

[Coaster Lover]

From those in the know.... something Epic should match or surpass even this.

Fun times ahead in Orlando.

HP 3.0?

If you actually experienced this attraction you’d know that’s not the case.

Racers' breakdowns when it opened in 2012 we not Ops issues they were tech issues, same for Indy. I'm not saying Rise was 100% ready to open today in WDW, it wasn't, but breakdowns for E-Tickets on opening day, and in the first few months are normal.

If we were getting my Super Mario Galaxy Ride? Sure. I don’t think Kart will surpass this. Unless you were talking about something else.

The vast majority of the press has been positive. Drudge is known for his sensationalistic headlines. No matter what happened today he would have put up a negative headline. If it had been flawless but still closed down the boarding groups once they filled up he would say "Paying guests refused entry on Rise of the Resistance".

There seems to be a lack of quality control if the system breaks down with in a few minutes of starting up.

Let’s not forget the downtime Escape From Gringotts saw years earlier. Everyone was very quick to defend Universal for “raising the bar” back then!

Sounds like a comment from someone who's never been involved in building a complex system.

Sounds like certain posters on this forum

Isn't that what QC is suppose to do? Find bugs and have them fixed during months and years of testing? For it to break down instantly shows that someone didn't do their job properly.

So how many attractions have you designed and built?
