Rise of the Resistance BOARDING GROUPS Superthread Part 1 *No Ride Spoilers Please* *PLEASE READ POSTS 1-4*

[ironband74]

Spread is 11-50 now. Last time I ever saw an ROTR spread that large was the day dhs had a 2pm open.

Yeah, even taking front loading into account, that is a large spread.

They seem to have slowed to a group every 4 minutes.

Spread 12-52. That's 40! Wow. Anyone in the queue? I may go over there in the evening to see if they keep this up

 

[ironband74]

What will be interesting is to see if we suffer the same fate as DHS, which peaked just as our coast opened, and has been in a steady decline ever since. One theory is that they sent all the best mechanics and engineers from their coast to ours, and eventually some or all may go back. Another theory is that wear and tear have come into play and that they are now having to replace some elements which have worn out.

Not sure, but definitely watching what is happening over there as well.

That does include most of the morning front load. We should see that fall off by about 10:45. Still...impressive.

Thrill-Data only runs 5 minute checks and they had been relying on DISers for more precise details. I hadn’t kept checking this morning to see when backups stopped.

On the backup stuff they seem to check more often, but I don't doubt that they confirm the timing with additional data.

Nice!

iPhone or Android? Carrier?

Also, without spoilers, can you say if the attraction is fully operational or if anything is in "B" Mode?

Also, did you see any Jawas in the vicinity?

Ridiculously busy today with Large groups of Cheerleaders everywhere. Good day for a single 53 yr old guy like me just to people watch, rather than walk around trying to go on rides w/o fast pass.

Boarding group 62. Our internet must have been really slow. The people around us all got between 12-30. We don’t care though. DD is crying With happiness because we got one. Lol

Did your husband make it?

I
iPhone XR on Verizon
Everything on the ride seemed to be working fine, except some audio and visuals did to match up in a certain first order scene. It was only noticeable if you looked for it.

Jawa sighting...Someone get on the comm link with the Mando and head this thing off before it gets bad...

@socaldisneylover I think that’s definitely a spoiler. Please consider editing.

I’ve been trying to follow all the tips and rules the past couple weeks but I can’t seem to find which way is best for a group of 5:
1. all 5 log into MY own DL app and all try at 8am
OR
2. all 5 of us have our own account with all 5 of our tickets scanned into each account and everyone try on their own account?

thank you!

Perhaps just a pause to allow queue to thin?

Both have worked for various members of this board. There does not seem to be a clear cut "winner"

Both work equally well. #1 is easier. #2 you need to make sure that you all have the same tickets scanned. Either way, I suspect the server doesn't see the two situations any differently.

Perfect thank you!

At 56 for 30 minutes now...if this is a queue thinning...it's a long one.

Anyone on the ground who can confirm we're down?

Yeah, I thought I saw it pop to 57. I guess I was too optimistic

@ironband74 ~ Thanks for your insight! Very informative and I will pass the info along. We had always been trying to figure out why it seemed so randomized.

One theory is that they sent all the best mechanics and engineers from their coast to ours, and eventually some or all may go back.

When WDW had the major problems at RotR’s start-up, they flew in trackless ride specialists from Tokyo DL.

They did it very quietly and it was only noted by entertainment CMs because the group of 20 were given priority at all character meals and wherever else they wanted to visit...even backstage during a Fant performance. That’s how important it was to attempt to get RotR running relatively smoothly.

Perhaps DL has done the same?

Don’t like spoilers, but this one has been part of the advertising for months, so hope nobody is offended. Just rode, and the laser through ceiling never happened on mine.

@socaldisneylover I think that’s definitely a spoiler. Please consider editing.

I have been seeing that light saber scene since last summer in the previews. I have a hard time seeing it as a spoiler FWIW. Mods can decide.

In fact I would be really bummed if that scene was broken when I went on ROTR for the first time. Didn't know they could run the show without it so this post from @socaldisneylover actually prepared me better without being a spoiler (for me).
