READ POST 1 & 2 FIRST-Rise of the Resistance Boarding Group Planning and Information-*No Spoilers*

[Iowamomof4]

Boarding up to group 113 now at 6:11. Not too shabby.

 

[blobberhead]

Well so today didn’t go as planned. We were BG 88, everything had ridiculous waits so we rode the skyliner to Riviera and had a drink there. Then went to Epcot and had a drink in Mexico. After wasting a bunch of time our BG was finally called around 3:30ish. Got through the queue and halfway through the ride and then it died. Womp, womp, womp. We got GET to give us a FP which we will use on Thursday. Hopefully it goes better.

Why didn't you just go later that evening? It looks like the ride went back up

If this makes sense, but what happens to the 2nd person's App when 2 people try to get Boarding Groups and the 1st one succeeds at getting both of them passes? Does the 2nd persons App just say they already have a Group assigned or something like that so they can stop trying? I'm thinking more about what happens when your help from home scores a Boarding Group for you, will you know it right away or vice versa?

Yeah, if someone gets in earlier than you you will be notified that you can't join a BG because you are already in one

we had no idea when it would and we had been out since 7am so we cut our losses

Looking like 117 is the end for today - pretty good run today though - hopefully next Monday performs at least as well (he said for selfish reasons)

RotR wil go through testing tonight until around 12:30, they'll run it with people on continuously It'll be interesting to see if it performs as usual tomorrow

Are employees the riders?? Hope so I know a lot of them haven’t had a chance to ride.

Who will be the lucky people? Will some heretofore excluded CMs finally get a chance to ride?

Yes, their shifts have been extended to do this

Hmm... that's very interesting information! I wonder what they hope to accomplish by doing this particular test? I don't expect anyone to know, it just really makes me wonder.

This was how I did it every time time I practiced from home for the past two month with no problems. However, I updated the App two days ago and yesterday this method did not work. BUT, this morning - it did work! So I have no confidence in the App.

yes - exactly this. I have to open the app at least 5 minutes before 8. Then went to home screen - and just before opening went back to app, clicked on Find out More, my status and everything was still grey. had to close the app and open again which took 2 full minutes.

Phoning a friend as sometimes I do have a life and wasn’t watching - 117 was it for today, correct? I know @TheMaxRebo reported as such above, just double checking.

 

[Mollygirl21]

I reported earlier that we were evacuated from the ride today and given FPs. We went back around 7pm and the ride was down.

With no way to know how long it would be down, and we wanted to do Soarin before our FP for Epcot Forever, so we asked for a FP for tomorrow.

We are fortunate that we have park hoppers, no kids with us, and one more day in the parks before we head home on Wed. I really feel for the people who weren't as fortunate in any of those areas.

Wish us luck for our third try tomorrow!

If you have the scoop on how that testing went... Please keep us informed... Even if it's a bit OT. I'm sure most of us will want to know if RotR performed well.

This thread is too quiet this morning. Who’s up? Who’s in the park? Who’s practicing.

We need a nice chant.
Red But-ton! Red But-ton!

(off to do some finger exercises to get back in the practice routine)
