Disneyland’s Rise of the Resistance Experienced Increase of Ride Breakdowns in 2022

Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

I was fortunate enough to finally be able to experience this attraction on a recent trip to Disneyland. Formally, Indiana Jones Adventure held the spot as my favorite ride in the Park, but Rise of the Resistance superseded it!

I LOVE this attraction but have noticed an increase in breakdowns since its debut. My son often checks the Disneyland app during the day and can attest that it’s a common occurrence.

Increase of Ride Breakdowns in 2022

The Orange County Register reports that ride breakdowns rose from an average of 80 minutes a day in 2021, to 122 minutes a day in 2022. This is according to Thrill Data metrics, which use wait times in Disneyland’s app to track ride stoppages.

So, what’s the cause of the 52% increase? Is the attraction’s popularity to blame?

The dark ride places Guests right in the center of the action, combining four attractions to create an 18-minute immersive adventure! Thrill Data compared information from May to December in 2021 and 2022.

 

When Disneyland reopened after the pandemic in April 2021, crowd sizes were limited. Lighter crowds tend to contribute to fewer ride breakdowns.

 

From May to December 2021, ride breakdowns increased from 37 minutes a day to 120 minutes a day.  In April 2022, a year after Disneyland reopened, Rise of the Resistance averaged 145 minutes of downtime per day.

 

 

Rise of the Resistance is one of the most popular rides at the Park. We rope-dropped the attraction, and herds of people were eager to start their eay at the galactic adventure!

 

Although it’s always disappointing to be unable to experience a ride, breakdowns are inevitable. We can only hope that Disneyland will make the necessary adjustments to remedy this increasingly common occurrence.
