This week is one of the lowest attended of the year, right? A lot of schools in the Northeast started today

Seems like it. GOTG: CR had some record breaking highs today as well, which indicates so.

It's a good attraction.
However, these Disney youtubers crying when it first came out was (once again) acting. It doesn't warrant any tears of happiness. It's just a good ride. I went into with far too high expectations.

The last and maybe first time I was really Wow’d by an attraction was when I rode Indiana Jones as a 12 year old in 95. Part of it I’m sure was that I was 12 but the attraction really did feel groundbreaking in a way that ROTR did not. I would wager that POTC, HM and even Star Tours were more ground breaking and had more of a WOW factor when they opened.

Our family had varied reactions. 18 year old son is big into all of the new Star Wars stuff and thought it was the best ride ever. I grew up with the original trilogy and don't care for the new stuff thought it was just ok. Wife is not a Star Wars fan at all had no desire to ride it again. My wife and I both had no idea what was going on during the ride. Our younger 2 kids liked it but it wasn't their favorite. Everyone in the family would much rather ride Cosmic Rewind or Flight of Passage.

You had NO idea what was going on? Did operations have you skipping the preshows?
Not sure, it was the only time I ever rode it. It was 20 minutes before closing and it had just reopened after a lengthy closure and it was pouring rain. And we had paid for LL+ and were worried it wouldn't reopen. Our son said parts were in B-mode. All this combined made for a confusing experience.
I think the whole Galaxy's Edge really needs some understanding of the sequel trilogy to get what's going on. It really doesn't stand by itself. I think Pandora did a better job of making it stand by itself without needing to have watched the movie.

It’s a great ride. I think it’s greatest strength is just it’s scale/scope. But for true Wow factor for me it wasn’t quite the same as experiencing Indy for the first time in 95. And I’d wager people that rode POTC, HM, Star Tours and Indy when they opened feel the same way. People had never seen the practical effects in POTC/ HM. People had never ridden a simulator. Especially one themed to Star Wars. Then when Indy came out people had never ridden a moving simulator. The ride system was so unique.
What does ROTR do that we’ve never seen before? That’s why I say it’s greatest strength is it’s scale.

Good video showing how bad things go wrong when multiple holds happen due to congestion at unload.
The cannon room has about a 12 sec footage that loops endlessly. Then when the holding pattern stops, an instant screen wipe resumes the scene with the Resistance ships coming in for the attacks.
This certain long pause causes the Kylo scene to be out of sync (delayed actually) compared to the RV's movements.
This also causes the escape pods to not trigger. So the screen, sound effects, bgm, lights, etc. all remain stagnant as if you weren't present in the pod yet even thought the drop still occured.
This is obviously a nuance/bug in the ride's code, as there already been plenty of videos showcasing the holds, but doesn't cause things to get out of sync and not trigger certain scenes/effects. Hopefully it was logged and can be debugged and fixed eventually. Being from IT, this is something I would love to work on haha (and those cannons!!).
Pretty cool regardless!

Best news ever. This is up there with HEA coming back for me.

I heard something similar recently.
FWIW - Everything except the cannons seemed to be working last Friday post-Ian shutdown. Got to experience both paths, Kylo AA was in A-mode, probe droid OK, Finn AA's working. The only blip was BB-8 wasn't working in the first hologram room, but was going the second time through (different room, unless one room has BB-8 and one doesn't).

I've been told they know what to do, but it needs a budget or as I was told, "that sweet sweet Individual Lightning Lane money".
That being said, I'm not holding my breath.

In my wife's opinion, she's no longer a fan of RotR since GotG is now available. We've been riding RotR since the day after its official opening and it's not been kept up operationally, so its lost it's luster for us. The three preshows are just a pain now to endure when you know something supposes to happen and it just doesn't (ooh look at the scary stationary probe droid that somehow fails to recognize the two transports full of prisoners a few feet away). We'll just spend the time on Slinky and Midway Mania before lunch and then start our hop at 1pm. Back to half a day park for us.

Rode RotR yesterday. Everything was functioning perfectly except for the canons. Even the probe droid effects were on.

Has it been discussed that the double escape pod door doesn't seem to be functioning anymore? The first one still closes but the second doesn't, meaning if you turn around you can your drop/motions.
I could only find evidence of it by turning 360 video to the rear:
Edit: Never mind, doesn't seem they were ever installed in WDW, only DL.

As long as people keep paying and ILL sells out every day why would Bob Cheapskate care?
