Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway marks the end of Disney's Hollywood Studios' long, expensive expansion. Now, it's time to show whether the strategy paid off.
Attendance was up in the last three months at 2019 at Disney's U.S. parks, but its theme park division will take a hit after the coronavirus outbreak led the company to temporarily close its two Chinese resorts.
There are plenty of times when the Disney hype machine can spin out of control. But when it comes to Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance, every bit of hype you've heard is true. All of it.
The change will shift other rides at Disney's Hollywood Studios into new FastPass+ tiers, with the exception of the new Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
The new operating procedure may allow guests onto Hollywood Boulevard early, but none of them will be able to snag a spot in the virtual queue until the park’s advertised opening time.
Crowds were so big for opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance that the "virtual boarding group" had reached capacity for the day before the park officially opened.
