Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[ChewbaccaYourMum]

I wouldn’t be shocked if the madness continued through New Years at this point. As time goes on the opening day rush will wear off. People won’t be gaming the system to ride 4 and 5 times in a day and it will probably look something like FoP which still gets long waits but no crazy 4am arrivals.

Please explain to me how I'm gaming the system? I got there early on Saturday. Got my boarding pass like I'm supposed to, got evacuated and based on how Disney wants to handle that situation, got my fastpasses. I got evacuated again when trying to ride for the second time, and got fast passes again. So am I not supposed to use them? It sounds like the way you're saying "gaming the system" like I'm doing something wrong...

The name doesn't really make sense. "Rise" of the Resistance? What are they doing to rise?

Again we see a completely incompetent Hux and Ren, which makes us wonder how the heck they ever came to power. Especially since we have gotten ZERO backstory on how the New Republic died and the First Order was able to take over.

Let us all hope they throw these terrible stories out of cannon and re-brand this ride as "Rise of the Rebellion".

You opened this post saying that "rise" doesn't make sense, but then included "rise" in your new name proposal.... huh?

In the same vein, it’s unlikely Disney would be giving out free tickets if it wasn’t for the good publicity they would receive.

Its interesting that this thing about the tickets keeps coming up as if it was the first time Disney has done this.
Disney has always compensated people by giving them tickets and or fast pass depending on the situation. i have seen this done in multiple cases in both coasts and its all about customer service which is something Disney known for.

I tried to search this thread but couldn’t get the search function to work properly, so I apologize if this has already been asked but what’s the thought for larger guests?

I have been on FOP six times, 3 times I had to make the walk of shame off and 3 times I enjoyed the ride. I know this is obviously much different but I didn’t hear someone say it’s a little snug. Just looking for another opinion

Yeah, we didn’t do anything wrong.

Actually I got the feeling the way they behaved was closer to how they are in TFA rather than TLJ.

I liked that. Hux was turned into a freaking joke. Kylo too.

Does the ride vehicle ever get "hit" by a blaster?
A physical change in vehicle motion alluding to impact or with a visual cue like a puff of smoke?

It's a personal seat belt (a la Dinosaur or Star Tours). I don't think it should be a problem.

Stormtroopers are shooting at you. What do you think the answer to that is?

I would hope yes. But Stormtoopers aren't exactly crack shots.

They hit the vehicle, not you.

They are literally rising into space so shove it. You can take your complaints to the Disneyland forum. Here in the WDW forum, we like everything except green milk.

I don’t remember anything suggesting our vehicle got hit. I remember the walls and AT ATs getting hit though.

True that

I will NEVER buy the Green Milk.

I will never understand the milks. Did no one taste test them? They are made-up drinks that aren't really described in the films. There is no reason for them to be nasty.

I actually like the Blue Milk. My dislike of the Green variant is purely on principal.

So, about those laser blasts shown in the promo footage....

 

[Magenta Panther]

Don't talk smack about Pigs In Space!

Okay, furry.

 

[Magenta Panther]

I think he is talking about Universal´s Epic Universe

Yes, and THAT is something I'm looking forward to!

Or that patent for laser blasts that were going to have them flying right past you...

 

[Coaster Lover]

So, about those laser blasts shown in the promo footage....

An exaggeration for marketing purposes (like the saber through the ceiling)? An effect planned but cut for budget? Or an effect that is actually built in to the current attraction, but not "turned on" due to not working as envisioned?
