Is there a standby line for Rise of the Resistance?

Virtual Queue Basics Basically, instead of standing in a regular standby line, you'll try to get a spot in a virtual queue that holds your place in a virtual line with other guests. If a ride has a virtual queue setup, that means there will NOT be a “standard” queue you can just stand and wait in.

Lightning Lanes are a newest version of a way for guests to “skip the line” for some top attractions. A Lightning Lane is a secondary queue that gives guests priority placement on popular attractions. Almost all popular Disney World attractions have two types of lines: the regular standby queue and the Lightning Lane.
