This is a continuation of a post about accessibility of Rise of the Resistance. I have not ridden it, so the information is from watching many videos and reading other people’s experiences.
Many portions of the attraction include lights of various size, brightness and intensity. The lights are mostly random and not rhythmic or particularly fast. Colors were mostly white, red and green.
The ride includes a walking portion, which is wheelchair/ ECV accessible. It includes 2 ride vehicles and 4 ride systems. The other post was about the first ride vehicle/system, which is accessible and can be driven right on with a mobility device.
After being ‘captured’, the captured rebels are ushered into holding areas and separated into ‘interrogation rooms’, which are accessible. Some of the hallways are small and/or narrow; other are very large. The entire process looks very realistic and intimidatin.
While in an interrogation area, your group is rescued by a rebel group and brought into a boarding area for small transport vehicles for escape.
The escape vehicles are trackless 8 passenger vehicles, each with 2 rows of 4 seats.
A transfer from wheelchair or ECV is required into the ride vehicle. The side door is able to be opened to make an easier transfer or sliding transfer.
THIS is the ONLY transfer. Guests will be in this same ride vehicle until the end of the attraction.
It looks like about a 6 inch step over the side to get in and out of the vehicle. Seats appear to be about chair height. I have not seen any pictures or videos that clearly show restraints, so can’t comment about that. If there are restraints, it looks like seat belts, rather than bar. There are no over shoulder restraints.
The individual vehicles are independent of each other. They can and do move in any direction, including backwards and sideway.
The videos make the motions look random, but they are probably in reaction to things happening in the room, so most are probably not as random as the videos show.
The motions appear to be fluid and fairly slow, not jerky or fast.
This vehicle has 3 ride systems -1) the trackless, flat movement, 2) your ride vehicle going into a lift, then back to trackless flat movement (some thru narrow spaces).
3) An elevator with a drop. First reports said there would be a 40 foot drop. I haven’t seen any reports that detail the drop actually is. My guess from watching the videos is that the actual drop is much smaller and is augmented to look farther by the video you can see outside the elevator window in front of you.
After the drop, your ride car goes back to trackless flat motion.
Before the unload point, it makes a turn which means guests will be getting off on the same side of the vehicle as they got on.
We have no reports, but it appears wheelchairs/
ECVs/mobility devices will be brought from the load point where guests go onto the vehicle to the unload point.
I will add more details as I get them.
