Hard to feel too bad for you
. How many times have you been on it? My count is 1 with Kylo in B and only 1 cannon moving.

Is it? It seems Harry Potter is way more complex to me.

My guess is the combination of the different systems in Rise is more complex. While the kuka arm system on HP was unique when it opened (I think) the ride doesn't seem that complex. It's basically Soarin'/FoP for a significant portion of the ride with a few dark ride/AA segments thrown in.

Soarin / FOP donāt have screens moving on a track in sync with the ride vehicle.

Haunted Mansion had animatronics moving on a track synced to the ride vehicle in 1969

Ah yes! Also while not a screen, original Figment had the turntable. I would argue that the original Figment ride was more complex than Rise.

No, but that's pretty simple to do.
I'm not arguing that Rise is super complex, by the way -- I've never even been on it -- just that while riding Forbidden Journey I didn't get the impression that it was a really complex attraction.

It is very complexā¦but the result left me thinking unnecessarily so. The HP rides at universal use some of the same tricks.
the main issues - for now - is terrible ip and very bad mechanical reliability. Both can and should be addressed sooner than later

You would think that Disney - of all companies - would be better at designing things to be mechanically reliable...when you pick up a new technology, you don't roll it out to customers until you're familiar enough with it to ensure that your end product isn't going to constantly fail.

I try to have more patience on this issue with Disney than āmostāā¦
they try to do things that stand outā¦cause they sure as hell arenāt into building new stuff to draw Every yearā¦or decade these daysā¦
butā¦I donāt see how with this amount of budget and time itās so faulty. And we are 2 years inā¦this isnāt ābugsā at this pointā¦itās heading to the path of yetiā¦
and that still sucks

I'm way more cautious than Disney...I used spend weeks testing new paints and inks on different materials in varying temperatures and sunlight exposures before I'd sell a finished product to a paying customer. Does it cost more money up front? Yes. But it eliminates the need for in-the-field fixes and replacements that in the long run are far more expensive.

Sorry for the rubbish luck. Do they offer anything to try and make up, in part, for the naff experience?

Consider the fact that while the vehicles are on a track, they are independent of each other and are basically driving themselves around (with computer instruction). There is even a separate loading section for wheelchairs where, upon instruction, a vehicle can veer off into that area, stop, load, and then merge back into the ride. That is pretty awesome.

While the boarding groups weren't perfect, at least it avoided this happening. ROTR reliability still isn't good enough to warrant a standby, imo.
