How many people can ride Rise of the Resistance in an hour?
With these numbers, the theoretical hourly ride capacity would be 1,280. Compared to other new attractions, this is about the same as Na'vi River Journey but less than Flight of Passage's 1600 and 1800 for Smuggler's Run.

Though it may be hard to imagine nearly 2000 people plunging through the haunted halls of the Hollywood Tower Hotel each hour, the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror has an exceptional hourly capacity. Guests are pulsed fairly continuously through its two ornate pre-shows and directed into the hotel's boiler room.

Some, such as Pirates of the Caribbean at the Magic Kingdom, can carry more than 3,000 people an hour. At the other extreme, TriceraTop Spin at Animal Kingdom can handle only around 500 people an hour. Most rides fall somewhere in between.
The best times to get in lineIt's simply not worth it, according to Disney Tourist Blog and WDW Vacation Tips. Instead, get in line for the ride from around 11:30 a.m. until noon, when wait times will drop due to park-goers lining up for lunch instead of rides and attractions, according to Disney Tourist Blog.
Local TV news WFTV initially reported that Reedy Creek Fire Department had been called to rescue guests stuck on the Twilight Tower of Terror ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios. According to the report, 28 guests were stuck on the ride for 45 minutes.
Tower of Terror includes sudden, fast drops in a dark, enclosed space which may be frightening to some guests. Also, if you bring any bags or backpacks with you, keep them closed and tucked securely between your feet. The drop sequences will cause them to shift around or fly up.
Rise of the Resistance can be scary at times for kids, even ones who love Star Wars. The interactions with Kylo Ren, Stormtroopers, and the First Order can be a bit intimidating. The ride itself can also be too much for some children, since some areas of the ride are dark and there is even a drop.
I therefore recommend waiting to book Rise until the return window is at least 11am or later so you can make the most of the morning otherwise. That may mean you need to wait to book Rise a bit later than when you enter the parks. Set an alarm on your phone to check back so you don't miss the ideal hour!
