That's odd since they have two Rey rooms.

They wouldn’t collide but when the sequence got a little off timing the ride would stop. I think the issue now has a solution so maybe after they go down for rehab one day we may see them work again. Time will tell.

I thought the same. They just had the doors open on the right side room and had a CM hold everyone and then release them to the transporter.
Seems like an interim fix or b mode would be to have the guns retract or recoil backwards with the base still remaining fixed in place. It'd be a complete rebuild but still seems like they could still find a way to animate it while remaining stationary.

I don't know if it is possible but instead of having the transporter randomly back up for (now) no apparent reason, it should pull in next to a cannon to avoid being seen and then back out and continue. The way it is now makes absolutely no sense at all in the context of the ride story.
They also need a complete wall to block the finale Kylo when in B mode. It's not that hard to see the AA there.

I like that idea, maybe one could hide and the other pass and then hide and pass? Could be fun. The programming could be kind of hide and seek - would be a clever use of that space.

Great thread from a CM on the most common ROTR breakdowns.
Was mostly surprised/interested by this piece of info as it was mostly known that the rides were constructed the same except for their queue space, but maybe that had an impact.
But I do think a lot of breakdowns happen due to guests dropping items (hats, glasses, etc.) during the ride portion. There was a livestream some time ago where someone's hat flew off in the final Kylo scene with the wind blowing, and that triggered an E-stop. It's probably why it's very common that the CMs tell you to take off any "head-gear" before the interrogation starts.

It's safe to say that's obvious. If those sensors fail, you get a whole vehicle full of lawsuits, if not worse.
I wonder when, and how, they realized something was up and chose to turn off the effect. I hope they can fix it.

If that were the determining factor the ride would be closed. You could say the exact same thing about the sensors for any of the dozen show action doors or the four vertical conveyors.

By turning off the gimmick entirely, they don't have to worry about it anymore. At least that's my line of thinking

Is it not the same system that is preventing your vehicle from colliding with the vehicle yours is paired with? Or the vehicles you pass at the beginning?
I highly doubt that fear of collision is why the cannons are disabled. Rather, what they DO add is another point of failure to create downtimes that is not technically necessary - whereas the vehicles have to be paired together and pass each other in the first scene.

What I've heard is such a weird but specific issue with them. Since I haven't heard anyone else mention it, I'm not saying more. I really want to know if it's the case but I know everyone is super quiet when it comes to discussing the problem.

The reason is just spaghetti code mixed with safety regulations on things entering the ride envelope leading to lots of errors.

Wow this seems like it would be a waste of resources. At least as it would pertain not ROTR if they did it right and didn't cut corners. The rest of the land minus a few areas like Kylo's ship I can envision being done for relatively cheap. Wish they would get things right the first time and/or stop wasting resources on lateral moves and re-themes like they have been doing at DCA since 2016.

I think Kylo Ren is the best part of the ST, but the swap of Ren for Vader in RotR would make it worth it alone.

I have ridden this a few times lately and each time the lightsaber that pierces the elevator roof has had no light or the effect has been turned off completely. Is this just my luck or has this issue been frequent lately?

So, had a friend say something I thought was interesting today. Basically said Rise of the Resistance is total garbage. He's been in line multiple times over the years, and only made it to the end of the ride once. This is more of a casual Disney fan (doesn't have passes even though he lives in Florida, and takes world trips a lot). Really was upset that his family who came down to ride it didn't get on, and it was late enough in the day they didn't expect it to be back up and operating that day. Thought it was a very interesting take from a casual perspective on the state of the ride.

Management seems fine with my advice. Which is the one time I can say that.
