Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance has been plagued by downtime since it opened, and this is not the first time it had extended downtime resulting in a (near) full-day closure. It is one of the most technically complex rides at any Disney Park. Still, this stoppage was much longer than the average of 30 to 90 minutes.
You will be immersed in a galaxy far, far away.Another way to say this is that you don't just ride Rise of the Resistance, you EXPERIENCE it. For 18 minutes from start to finish, you're transported to another time and place. RotR is truly unlike any other attraction at Disney World.
If you want the best time to do Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in the first half of the day, line up around 11 am. The posted wait time will still likely be triple digits, but it's typically falling at this point rather than rising.
For those who want to ride Rise of the Resistance multiple times, a Park Hopper ticket gives you the most flexibility during your vacation. Although you're only able to purchase an individual Lightning Lane selection once per day, you can always wait in the standby line if you'd like to ride it again.
If You Were On the Ride. If you are physically on the ride (as in seated in a ride vehicle) when it breaks down, you will likely receive a Lightning Lane pass to return and re-ride it later in the day.
So, how much did it cost to build Rise of the Resistance? Disney has not released the exact cost for the ride, but estimates have ranged from $200 million to $450 million — and that's for each version of the ride, not a total for both.
If you do nothing else but ride Rise of the Resistance during Disney After Hours, you can probably expect to ride 6-8 times. At an average cost of $20 to $22 per Individual Lightning Lane during daily operation, you can probably get pretty close to making back your money on the Disney After Hours ticket.
Rise of the Resistance is much smoother, with a small drop at the end when your escape pod jettisons from the Imperial Cruiser. Most of the ride is a trackless vehicle on a smooth concrete floor.
Disneyland's Rise of the Resistance fills up fast. Why you may still score a seat. Fans and experts estimate that Disneyland's popular Rise of the Resistance attraction can serve about 1,100 to 1,500 visitors per hour, with a maximum of perhaps 1,900.
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.
Is Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Scary? That all depends on what kind of rides you like, but in general, I would not say that Smugglers Run, no. It's a flight simulator so expect lots of bumpy movements and sharp turns throughout, but this is also somewhat affected by whoever the pilot is.
B Mode, unfortunately, hides the Kylo animatronic behind a slab of steel. Instead, guests are treated to a video of Kylo flying just outside the ship. The storyline itself is not affected, and Disney does a great job of covering it all up. If you have not experienced RoTR you may not notice this.
