How has testing been going? I've seen some rumors that the ride hasn't operated longer than one hour at a time. Is that true?

Unfortunately, this is how all “trackless” rides turn out.

The plot with Pink hair lady involves sending people to the planet in shuttles, because the First Order isn't tracking small craft. Hacker guy literally points out a window at them and the first order is like "Would you look at that...wish one of our million + troops looked out a window at the thing they have literally been staring at for the past 48 hours."
It fits the argument because the realism of the land depends on suspension of disbelief that a rebel base and first order stronghold can be that close...never mind that all ships land and take off vertically, making the Falcon (like the most well known ship in the galaxy) and XWing completely obvious to anybody taking off or landing from about 25 feet up.
Star Wars has never been a "clean" and tidy" movie from plot standards, but Disney has really kicked it from "bad judgement not shooting an escape pod" to "It takes the most inept and clueless people in galaxy to not have a single person in a fleet look out a window."
Yeah...I get that the ships all being there is cool, but it also makes almost zero story sense in any way that can be properly explained.
Overall, its fine...whatever...in a theme park.

I have wondered for a long time if there's a solution to this problem, or if it's just doomed to remain this way. It seems too specific a problem for insiders to have actual knowledge about testing and possibly remedies. Hunny Hunt solved it by just having random paths... I understand that isn't really possibly in RotR. I wonder if this could actually be solved by continuous 3rd shift cleaning, or if it's just a lost cause to begin with. Any sort of coating the floor could take to remedy it? I do know having the pucks in the floor also adds to the problem, can't add too much to the floor and lessen the distance between receiver/transmitter.
Don't believe everything you hear on the internet.

I can't wait for ride reviews/uptime reports next week, lol.
I mean I LOVE FOP, it's my favorite WDW attraction now, but the "bones" of it are very standard. This feels like it goes way beyond any recent attraction, stateside, for Disney in the sheer amount of stuff going into it.

Hunny hunt also has a blue floor which is supposed to represent water. So the darker swirls actually give it a more ‘watery’ look.
But I myself have never understood the amount of hype trackless is getting. Sure, now you can have multiple variations, and thats cool! But the argument of “surprise” the rider where they’re going, is not at all valid. Still super excited tho, and hunny hunt and mystic manor are two of the best rides in the world imo.

Anything with a track feels like a ride. Lack of track makes the experience more real.

I don't know. Have you been on Aquatopia at DisneySea? That one also has tracks you can kind of see through the water and you can also see the other "boats" moving around, but that doesn't mean yours will go the same way, so you can see another boat going toward a waterfall and be like "oh we're going to do that next" then realize instead you're going toward a whirlpool, etc.
de-cloaking scan to detect the shuttles. Not out the window. https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/597e5b91-4ea1-405d-b8e0-79392321a4c9

Truth be told - at least to be fair - if people are staring at the floors on their first rides, we have a much larger problem...

The first ride through is as important as the 31st.
Regardless, everything matters in a designed space. Yes, that includes the floors and the ceilings.

Point being, after they have ridden it, the “surprise” about where they are going being revealed by track marks on the floor is greatly lessened.
And as I said, if people are focusing on that, and not everything going on around them, the ride is in more trouble than that.

Ratatouille at DLP has suffered badly from floor marking over the years. The geek in me finds this a frustrating reality, but I’m 100% sure most guests don’t care. Their eyeline is directed to exactly what Imagineering wants them to see, which isn’t the floor.
The LPS RVs in RotR have a big honkin' droid in front of you. So, if you want to see where you're going by looking at the tire tracks, you're going to have to get out of the RV and look.
