DHS Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

[mary2013]

As some of you have no doubt noticed I’ve added yet another trip to my countdown.

I’ll be going to Disneyland August 24-25
I’ll be going to Disney World starting January 16th

I’d figure since rise is set to open this year I’ll make the Disney world one no problem but what about land? Will I even make the world opening? Thoughts? Insiders like @marni1971 have you heard anything?

PS: This is a long shot but would love a MMRR soft open as well any thoughts on this as well would be appreciated!

Land could be doubtful. Just.

Disney wouldn't open ROTR in DL and SWGE in DHS at the same time, would they?

Not last I heard.

 

[marni1971]

So a D23 preview and a Labor Day weekend opening then?

When’s Labor Day?

 

[Rteetz]

When’s Labor Day?

September 2nd.

Just to confirm maybe I’ll miss it in land, but in world I’ll make it?

That's the gist since RotR is rumored to be DHS before the end of 2019.

I am far from Orlando but have been hearing that the new Hagrid’s ride at Universal has struggled to stay open. If that is true will that impact Disney’s approach to opening Rise of the Resistance?

Hagrids is fine. It was running for extended durations due to demand so was missing it’s maintenance. They’ve had to have it open later since it was frequently running late into the night with no proper time for tweaks and fixes. Especially for a new ride.

Rise has had its own issues that are being ironed out. And unlike Hagrids should have plenty of testing. New rides also need to be eased into use and slowly have their capacity increased as the ride system, mechanics and human elements find their feet.

Every day is Labor Day.

Hmmm. The parks panel at D23 is on Sunday 25th, which would be the perfect time to open it to all those in that panel? Like they did with Fantasmic a few years back?

i just hope all 400 AA's are in good working order when it opens

The hundreds of interactive items in the Millennium Falcon all work fine

When’s Labor Day?

I’m there September 6th to September 10th (Labour Day is September 2nd) — had booked before the delay had been announced, hoping ROTR is open by then!

Are you talking about the ride vehicles going in and out of the elevators?

Still waiting on an official AA count for RotR. I think there was a MiceChat article years ago that said 150, and then a handful of reports saying 50+ storm troopers

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say there won’t be close to 400. Disney just doesn’t build AA heavy rides like Splash anymore. Even OLC, which doesn’t mind spending whatever it takes, didn’t put 400 in Sindbad, I don’t think.

Sindbad has a bit less than half that number

Not sure how anyone could take those numbers as real now. I'm pretty sure the Falcon was promised to have over a hundred interactive features. I guess maybe all 32 of them combined have hundreds.

If the leaks so far are to be believed the RIDE looks to have less than 10, perhaps less than 5. Which is likely right. Even the much touted Shanghai Pirates only has 6 or 7.

Remember there was a tweet about how tiny Oga's Cantina was by a very big Disney insider (name escapes me). He deleted it, but in reality he was fairly accurate. All of the rumors of grandeur have fallen flat so far.

That was kind of my point. If OLC has never approached that kind of number, Disney in the good ole USA certainly won’t.

And then there's the possibility that every pipe that breaks or container that shifts position due to either damage from the ensuing battle going on or from Kylo's dark side force abilities could be considered its own animatronic.
