Wait...But didn't Millennium Falcon: Smuggler's Run open without any issues?
Looks like Disney handled their opening for a new land much better than Universal did for a new ride. Yes, I know the real test is June 24th for Disneyland and who knows what it will be like Opening Day at WDW. However, waiting 10+ hours and not having the opportunity to ride would seem like a much bigger PR nightmare.
Clearly the reservation system worked at Disney for that opening but this was also just one ride not an entire land
Also, the old ride was torn down and new one out up in less than 2 year - or what Disney calls "the timeline for a parking garage if we push it" - so not surprised there are a few hiccups
Also illustrates a reason why perhaps Disney didn't push to get Rise of the Resistance open on day one if there were some technical challenges - be even worse if there were the reservation windows and then the main ride (or at least co-main) isn't working .... Rather have not everything - but what is open be in top shape and working nearly flawlessly than those potential issues
