Disney's New "Star Wars" Ride Wins Raves, Breaks Down
When it comes to the initial buzz for Disney's (NYSE: DIS) new ride, it's fair to say that the Force is strong in this one. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida officially opened on Thursday morning, and the reporters, bloggers, and celebrities who got a sneak peek of the high-tech attraction earlier in the week were putting out glowing reviews across the board.
There were some initial reports of downtime in the days leading up to the grand opening (something that happens often with new bar-raising attractions in the industry), and the new Star Wars-themed ride lived up to the expectations of a bumpy debut. Rise of the Resistance opened nearly two hours earlier than the park's slated opening time to accommodate the massive crowd of early risers, but within an hour experienced the first of what will likely be many prolonged outages. Reliability can be a galaxy far, far away.
