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

How does one "practice" this? I just watched a video of someone obtaining a BG and am seeing they are typically GONE in about one minute.....should I just resign myself to touring without this on my plan?

You resign yourself to getting to the park before it opens! A minute is a long time if you're paying attention!

You practice by essentially seeing how your hardware best gets you to an active "join boarding group" button at park opening time, which you can do even if you aren't in the park and/or don't have any tickets. It gets you used to how the process works and how your hardware might behave (I say might because there have been reports of things going awry in the parks) and what buttons to tap and when.

... At this point I realize that my commentary is very far afield from getting boarding groups, and so I shall cease. I may start a separate thread on failure modes.

Personally, I like having the break down info & chatter on this thread...

Me too. When I get bored at work I come here for entertainment. Now, I might not be laughing when it is me stuck in line next week but until then....

NOW showing BG 47 - 58 so we shall head into park NOW.... BYE!!!

This week seems like it’s oddly rough for the ride. This is what day 3 where we keep having major down time.

We've had about 3 hours of down time today so far. And yeah, yesterday and Wednesday were both rough after 2pm with about 4 hours of downtime.

 

[brightlined]

Seems like things have been rough since I left on Tuesday afternoon. Would it help if I went back? Should I set up a GoFundMe? I'm more than happy to make this sacrifice.

That's a lot of phones being dropped in the attraction and breaking the ride

Riiiighhttt.

 

[ironband74]

Well, we just hit the last of the regular groups. We've been operating 2 hours continuously. Hopefully they can keep it together...It could still be a slightly above average day!

Assuming no breakdowns, it has a chance to get into the mid 130's. If I had to put money on it, I would not bet on that, and would go with around 120 as the final result.

 

[ironband74]

Hmm...a 26 group spread. They're doing ok for now.

First off, thank you guys so much for all the advice and updates.

question: my husband and I are going March 5th. We have a park hopper ticket for the day AND tickets for the Pixar after hours party at CA that night. When it comes to deselecting once I have hit “join boarding group” will having two tickets for the same day affect us? If so, how can I fix this?

Thanks!!

Just make sure you select your park hopper ticket and not your party ticket. If you are sure which is which them all selected then on the next page it will ask you to remove who is not their by individual ticket and you will click remove from party at that point then go forward.

Well, she had a good 3.5 hour stint, pulling over 50BGs...but she just can't seem to stay on her feet today...

And we're back up!

And we're back up!

Amazing! A quick control thrust, and he's back on course!

Man, what a day for this ride. I felt so bad for my friend and her family getting escorted out but they ended up riding later and said it was amazing.
