Shanghai Disney Resort Moving From Three- to Four-Tiered Pricing Structure in June 2020

Slow news day huh? Must be because it's Star Wars tonight!!
...or my day is just crawling

yeah, i think a lot of attention with Star Wars opening and then also the change in Boarding Group process for Rise of the Resistance

 

[sachilles]

Certainly looks like RotR has turned a corner this week in terms of break downs and the speed/capacity of the attraction.

In another thread someone suggest a software update/patch for the ride was to be release this past monday, and that seems to coincide with the improvements.
It seems break downs have been minimal and speed has increased daily since then.
The variable is boarding group size which we don't know. If its been consistent all along then this is very good sign.

Reports on twitter saying it caught fire. WOW that would be nuts for this attraction to go down for a period of time during the busiest time of the year.

EDIT: Now saying "fire alarm" so maybe no fire.

If i am not mistaken there was a fire alarm issue last year or so when it kept going off

Looks like they only speculate fire alarm due last years issue. Still lot of hear-say as to what's going on currently. Have one friend mentioning all of Pandora is evacuating now, which I can't confirm yet.

They’ll evacuate both rides for a fire alarm in either of them. The entire land would be very different.

If it is ALL of Pandora I would think we are looking at a much bigger problem then fire alarms.

Looks like same person is saying on twitter "flames were bursting out of the wall"

lets see what confirmation we can get. I am sure @rteetz is all over this

 

[sachilles]

Both rides are in the same building. So an issue like a fire alarm would affect both rides.
Not good. Finally get RotR figured out, and something else throws a monkey wrench at operations.

Twitter suggests a guest had seizure, family member panicked and pulled fire alarm on flight of passage.

 

[Spridell]

According to MDE app it is back up and running with a 210 min wait.

Looks like it wasn't fire but if it was guest with seizure hope they will be ok.

Guess Rise of the Resistance couldn't stand Flight of Passage taking some of its headlines, so they have added mid-queue access to bathrooms as well:

While we were in line during an "extended" downtime, CMs came around and took people from the line to the restroom...and it was said that they were employee restrooms. I wonder if these are the same ones?

I wish these had been available last week!

Oh, me too! We paid the extra $10 for the Skyliner metal refillable mugs (we were on the dining plan). I would have much preferred these beauties! We just checked out 5 days ago!
