What happens if you buy lightning lane and the ride is closed?

For example, let's say you pay for the Individual Lightning Lane option for Rise of the Resistance in Hollywood Studios. The ride goes down, so you're not able to ride it during the time you were told to return. You'll get that experience redemption and can just go back later to the ride once it opens again.

That means if you get on line for Test Track at 8:59 p.m., you may walk off it at 9:30 or later, meaning you'll walk through the Park after it closes.
