Well thanks for the clarification on that.
Guess I need to seriously re-think my planned December trip.

@SWGalaxysEdge You obviously have some inside connections as well. Are you also hearing of this potential delay? It just seems like such a bad move to be ramping up advertising and having spots/specials on national TV that all give a date that is unlikely to be met.

Thank you for sharing! I loved it- but didn't want to share too much in case it violated some forum policy (I'm a newbie)

Not understanding why people are saying that Rise will be delayed...

I've heard it has started training on both coasts from trusted insiders....
I'm not sure it's still delayed.

Wonder why the delay in opening if it has CM's in costume... and high ups riding? Perhaps an extended soft opening period?

If it doesn't open on the 5th, I guess we'll have to be prepared to tack a day onto our tickets. The 13th is our last planned park day, with a mid-afternoon flight home on the 14th. At least the 13th is going to be Studios, so if there's any soft opens, we'd be there.

The issue isn't one of the attraction being unfinished (for CA at least), it is of reliability now. The attraction could open today, it just would be out unmodified ride vehicles and would have terrible capacity.
So they'll forge ahead towards the pre-determined opening dates regardless. There really isn't risk that it won't open, just how many guests it will reliably cycle and not run like Hagrid publicly for months.

That would be bad publicity if it opened like that. Only one chance to make a first impression.

I did ask about the other missions and there's still nothing as far as chatter. I have to only assume they are holding off an anything till RotR is out and "loved by everyone" lol

That is my understanding of the situation as well. Be prepared to wait! I do wonder if they’ll bring back XEMH to give resort guests a leg-up. It’s been considered but they are upset they’re spending so much in September and October when it’s not needed. In December I bet it will be needed.
If the ride can open at 6 am daily.

Let’s hope that’s how it goes so we get our TSR and new missions quickly.

I'm actually hearing more about CA being behind. They are using some of their resources to help get WDW get ready for 12/5 or 12/14 or whatever the date might be. I have not anything "bad" about CA like I used to hear. WDW has been fairly quiet which I am guessing is on purpose. Like someone else said, Happy Face to the public, Sad Face behind closed doors.
I did say it a big ago, but CA is still working on converting the ride cars - adding the ADA doors in the front. Last week it was 28 cars left to do (out of 38)

yeah I don't think Josh is there working on the ride cars. So it may be "done" to him.
Plus he got transferred to WDW (or maybe in process) so why is he still at DisneyLand?

..and I just saw something about Hagrid's getting shut down over bugs or something? How long is that ride running every day...10 minutes?

...oh they'll make an impression...just not sure if it'll be good or bad. lol

People expect December to be slammed. It’ll limp through New Years’ regardless.

It was closed the other days due to bees swarming. Since you cannot just kill them, they had to have a specialist come and remove them. (Other than that, its been running pretty reliable. Posted wait times have been down to 60-75 minutes and actual wait times as low as 45 minutes)
