I was boarding group 18 (arrived via my own car at 6:05am), got in about 6:45, now looking at stormtrooper garrison and they announced “interrogations suspended you will get time to come back later”.

So downtime today almost same as yesterday timeframe. Hopefully it’s back up and running as quickly. Was able to get boarding group 28 as I entered queue. So hopefully will get 2-3 rides out of all this today 🤩

In comparison to that headline, I brought to light a ROTR headline sensationalizing a ride breaking down which happens Every. Single. Day. Cherrypicking is bad, and it doesn't even work here.

This 'Hagrid's Delayed' is not a headline that is trying to stir the pot. Good media reporting should report news that explains and informs; it's the incisive and misleading content for views that's degrading public intellect and its understanding of fact. I'd reread the entire headline.

Being wrong is okay, and if you showed a legitimate counter, I would currently be reassessing my understanding, so that I could find the truth. Arguing for the sake of an argument benefits no one, so...

I'm pleased to know that it is a reputable news site. I like vetting articles I read but was simply showing how it could influence public opinion. After all, it was high on Google search. However, a more accurate headline that doesn't weaponize an insignificant fact would uphold that standard. It's not a cause for panic, but troubling that you see these two headlines equally.

I'm far from a Pixie Duster and I'm not knocking on Universal (they've made a killer ride), but my point still stands that for whatever reason, Disney's park headlines have been so negative as of late in an ironically good time. I mean they're managing crowds with boarding groups and giving them free park tickets if they can't make it in!

TL;DR The article alone isn't a big deal, but as a collective of headlines (even a thread on the forums), it's not something one should support by cherrypicking and misrepresenting using a narrative. My initial point raised about RoTR's coverage still stands correct upon further examination.

I appreciate the passion, however, and I have no ill intent.

They were just reporting the facts, not stirring the pot. If that were the only article discussing the new ride, I may agree bias. But they also had positive coverage.

Does anyone feel this ride needed a little more "juice" in the movement of the ride vehicles? I feel it's just a little too tame. If the ride vehicles had some of the quicker acceleration and urgency of Indy at DL or Spiderman at IOA, it would have locked itself up as the greatest ride ever created. I still think it probably is, but it's just not all that thrilling outside of the obviously incredible visuals and immersion. I just wish it did more from a motion/movement standpoint. I know, I know, they wanted to make it little kid friendly...

I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I think Disney warranted the negative reviews by only opening up half the land, especially when ROTR is such an essential experience. Disney should be held accountable for the negative reviews that initially came out about GOG. The negativity will pass especially with how good this attraction is. IMO It's a home run and by far the new best attraction in Disney, if not Orlando, but that is subjective.

I agree. Whoever made the call about opening the land without RotR should be penalized (cut in bonuses or something).
