Once your BG is called and you get over to the ride, how long is everyone waiting in line to get on it?

I’m curious as well. I’ve heard it’s 30 minutes at WDW (as long as the ride doesn’t breakdown).

No clue until they start to board

It started at group 12...

 

[dieumeye]

Looks like 15 groups called (12-26) in the first hour the ride was open. That seems good.

I just got off the ride. From getting in the line to getting off the ride was about 35-40 minutes. The line was steady moving and we didn’t stop much. There are benches throughout the line though for seating if needed.

Wow... just wow start to finish it was amazing, 100% immersive. Easily surpasses flight of passage in WDW as the best attraction for me

In the last half hour 5 groups, so there is a pre-load condition. Watching to see the rate over the next hour, but if we assume 10 groups called per hour over the next 14 hours... they should get to boarding group 150 if there are no big breakdowns.

Data Points I believe - Correct if wrong:
5:45: Gates Open for scan in. FP available to get. Mobile orders available too
6:38: HUB opened
7:45: Rope Drop - Lands opened
8:00: BG opened
8:00:52 Backup BGs start at 82
8:09: Backup BGs filled ~142
9:00 First BGs called 12 (guessing 1-11 were CM/Internal/Media?)
10:00 1st hour: 15groups called

We have heard from those that got BGs. I want to hear a roll call of those that were in the park at rope drop and did NOT get a boarding group. Hopefully most got at least a backup group.

This is simply to gauge the success rate in getting a BG.

 

[Go💛Go]

10-14 Boarding Groups per hour is a great rate.

On Twitter you can follow the data:

Just got home. I was ome who kept refreshing at 8am and got nothing. When I exited back to the main page, still got nothing. Had to cycle the app, then got access to the boarding groups and got Backup group 110. Bummer.

Let us know if/when you get on

 

[asumom]

Have we heard if anyone inside of DCA could get a BG?

No, you must be in Disneyland

 

[asumom]

My concern as well. I love EMH at DLR. I hope they don’t allow joining of boarding groups during it.

They said no boarding passes during emh, only available at official park opening

 

[DisneyDork1969]

Oh Yeah....there are vacine/stem cell protesters by Harbor entrance...with big signs...all dressed like Star Wars people....UGH!!!!

 

[BlueRibbon]

You still have a decent chance for tonight.

A new hope has arisen!

The park itself is not very crowded-feeling. We haven’t gone back to SWGE yet, but overall, I’d call these light crowds, and there’s still lots of FP availability.

It will be interesting to see how crowds develop over the course of the day. Normally, the Friday afternoon/evening of a holiday weekend would get busy. Will people come if they’re not going to get on ROTR? Is the perception going to be “it’s crazy, stay away” because of the pictures circulating from Main Street this morning? (plus NAMM?) Maybe people will come for Lunar at DCA?

While the crowds this morning showed high demand for ROTR, it remains to be seen how well it punches up attendance overall.

To that end, I’m guessing they’re reaaaally aiming for all the backup groups to ride today - they need that hope to keep people coming if regular groups are gone in less than a minute.

 

[DisneyDork1969]

Let us know if/when you get on

With 10-14 groups averaging per hour, groups thru 150 will be able to board today, if no problems...

 

[ironband74]

I probably shouldn't have said anything. It's been stuck at 26 for over 20 minutes. My bad...
