Exactly my point from earlier. That is why I believe these are cgi AT-ATs and not the ones in the show building.

He is not the only one. I pointed it out earlier in this same thread.
WRT the AT-AT heads. The original beams could have been to hold the head in place while an articulated arm is put in, then cut out.
Just like the extra long support beams of the spires which was used for scaffolding, and then when the scaffolding was being removed, the excess was cut off and patched over.

A question... will ROTR have a single rider line? I’m sure it’s been said somewhere in here what the ride vehicles look like but was curious. And not wanting to go through many hundreds of pages of conversation

Could be. But why would they intentionally do that?
So if you've ridden Transformers, then... you know what it will be like.

By all accounts, this ride is most likely going to be nothing like Transformers. I'd hope it isn't. Terrible attraction.

Oh this is great to know, thanks. So both rides were built with a single rider line, to be utilized at some point? We are going in January, myself, husband and 2 little girls. Only my husband is interested in the rides. So this is great news.

In that picture there's just one AT-AT, could it be possible that the other one is designed and built differently to allow movement? I'm not saying it is, merely guessing that it could be.

Yeah, it's normal to build huge figures out of I beams, just to then cut the heads off and install movement later. YOu know, because getting some motors up there later, large enough to move those heads that stick out on a moment arm with some pretty massive forces would be easy. Probably 1/2 hp or so.

That's terrible.
It’ll be similar to Transformers in style and execution. And Rat. And MM.

I'd rather hear that it is similar to Spider-Man (the Uni one, not the future Disney one).

I think Transformers is a decent ride and definitely a good standard for a screen ride.

IMHO of course but Spider-Man is a far superior version of the same basic tech. Transformers is fine but it suffers from being too frantic and the robots are too indistinguishable to recognize too much of what is going own unless you ride multiple times. Spider-Man does a better job of setting up scenes and giving them payoffs than TF does.
I don't expect ROTR to really be like Transformers in that regard anyway, so I'm just splitting hairs with my comment.

DIS unplugged have actually been invited in to see parts of the attraction at a sneak preview, here's their review

I gather Lutz’s claims (if he even wrote the article) that WDW was foolish to announce a 12/5 opening and that it will be a disaster at opening were an exaggeration. It’ll have issues and downtime like any new ride but should be ready to open. I wouldn’t expect anything more clunky than Hagrid’s opening season, certainly.
I always got the impression that folks at that other site, VerminTalk, were jealous whenever WDW got anything that could be deemed as preferential treatment and took it as an opportunity to smear WDW. There’s no question in my mind that, for SWGE, we got the superior product and rollout. They win on Marvel, though. If they don’t cut phase 2.
