Coming from a Rise attraction maintenance worker ,you really nailed this on the head. Almost looks like the layout screens from our computer system in the attraction. Good job : )
Fun fact: I have not ridden ROTR… yet… Awesome to hear you had a great time! I can’t imagine what is going to go though my head when I finally get to ride!
You should consider making one of these for Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. It would be interesting to see the engines going through their shortcut and joining up with a different group of cars.
This is very true and I have seriously considered it, but I made the decision to wait for the Disneyland version to open before I make any final decisions. I have made other simulations though, currently I have one for Indiana Jones Adventure, Roger Rabbits Car Toon Spin, Popcorn Revenge and I am currently working on Journey to the Center of the Earth!
@@Willbyh though this was cool you kind of missed the spots where the vehicles would stop along the ride path to stall for time when the vehicles get backed up
I would have loved to include this, but I have no way of finding this. If anyone wants to tell me I am very interested. I know of a few places where the vehicles can stop but being a trackless darkride there is no logical placement for for them to stop except where-ever they can. If you do have this information I would love to put it into the simulator though!
@@Willbyh well there is plenty of footage online of various places where the vehicles would queue up and there would be extra dialogue placed in that is used to fill in time like for example if the backlog of vehicles actually goes all the way back to the Escape pod sequence then after the simulated crash landing there would actually be a conversation between Finn and the R5 unit on your vehicle talking about how they are struggling to open the door and then there would be subsequent dialogue as they progressed closer to the stationary pod that has Beck in it however Beyond The Escape pod sequence I don't know where else the pods would delay in preparation for waiting for the next available slot probably another spot would be on the bridge where there would be some extra dialogue that would happen before the one female voice would show up
BRO I’ve been looking for this ever since I first rode it and it all makes I was fr always flabbergasted at how they did this and I believed the pre show in the ship was an elevator of sorts but it’s so much more simple. Thank you you got my sub
This is amazing and it gives me a new appreciation for the ride. I also calculated that assuming a dispatch occurs every 30 seconds, Rise of Resistance has a theoretical capacity of 1920 riders per an hour.
That sounds about right! It’s a fascinating ride. According to the logged simulation statistics of people running the ride which does include for the many sessions a starting up of the ride a pph of about 833. Which is much lower, maybe you can think of that as the first operating hour.
@@Willbyh I am super excited for that! I spent all day searching and nobody else seems to do it like you do in this video, which seems like the best way to do it!
At first I expected the ride would surely not be this compact with all the different shapes of rooms but they really did do a great job filling the space. Awesome to hear you liked the video
I was at Disneyland the last day before it closed for the pandemic and tried to get on Rise for my first time ever. I made it just before the pre-show room and the ride broke down. I was the very last boarding group of the day and the park closed shortly after that. Never got to go on it and I can’t afford to go back for at least another year or two.
Yeah. I know how you feel because I went through something similar like that when I went to Disneyland back in 2021. My family and I made it to the hallway before we got to the interrogation rooms, but something happened so we had to wait. Unfortunately it took too long, like right up to the park’s closing time, and we just left. Thankfully the employees in the ride were kind and they apologized for the inconvenience, and we were cool about it. Still, It was kinda of unfortunate that we ended our Disneyland adventure like that. Also I find it hilarious that the employees were dressed up as the First Order and they just let us go.
Back when I started this there were no layouts/blueprints out that were accurate but there were some pretty good guesses, so I had a base to work off and from then on it was a LOT of watching videos and figuring it out.
This is just delightful, jaw-droppingly amazing work. Some of the details (like the cast member-only walkways), couldn’t have been inferred, could they? I’m dying to know how you pieced this all together.
Most of it is just from watching video of the ride and figuring out how the puzzle could work. I spoke a bit to some people know knew things videos could not tell me. But never having actually been on the ride… (yes) I had to search everywhere I could. I had an extremely rough layout of the ride to base things off with many errors. Right before I finished I got to see actual layouts of the ride and confirmed I got mostly everything correct (the gun deck is at an ever so slightly different angle), I also took this time to draw faint outlines of the backstage areas and do finishing touches. Things like that cast member walkway came from someone telling me there was a walkway there and based on videos I could guess how big it was and where it went. Another thing was the direction vehicles face in the return tunnel and how they specifically travel to the maintenance bay. But yeah, there is a lot you can get from videos and hundreds of hours of processing how things could fit together. If you want to see more, I left some information in the description about the project. :>
@@Willbyh Appreciate the response; that all makes a ton of sense. Have you been able to experience the ride in person since finishing this project? Curious if knowing how it all works makes the experience less interesting, or ultimately more rewarding.
I have not… Though I have ridden other rides I know a similar amount about and it entirely added to the enjoyment for me. After looking at all the details so much I find I get a greater appreciation for how they pulled off the crazy problem solving that goes into designing a dark ride.
In the full tride through scene, follow the first transfer which aws only 6 guests on board. I'd like the sound of transport 2 better on the uplift. The very end didn't match: music was a little extend fo the back of the unload, but the transports at the front.
Hey! I don't expect to have a reply, but do you think it would be possible to have sort of the same simulation but for Disneyland paris' ratatouille ? Thanks a lot 😉
@MarsheMaIIow hmmm, I don’t know of a source for that alarm. I have not looked for a while, there may be some source out there though I doubt it. Good luck on your search!

I just rode it this morning and I was absolutely floored. I had goosebumps for an hour after. Absolutely incredible
Fun fact: I have not ridden ROTR… yet… Awesome to hear you had a great time! I can’t imagine what is going to go though my head when I finally get to ride!
@@Willbyh I cried
@@Willbyh ive ridden it more times then i can count, its a really good ride
I wish I could say that, I can say that I have the entire ride mapped I my head
When I suddenly walked into a completely different place from the first part of the ride I was stunned. I wondered how the hell they did that lol
Its an awesome effect

@@Willbyh I know what you have. I've played your simulations.

Thanks for your hard work, this was amazing :)
this is a really cool insight on such an incredible ride? your animation was also very satisfying to watch 😄

I need more videos like this, I need a whole genre of videos like this!!
well you’re in luck! I have more planned
@@Willbyh I am super excited for that! I spent all day searching and nobody else seems to do it like you do in this video, which seems like the best way to do it!
This is very impressive, great job!
Wow this is sooo cool! I've always been really curious as to how these rides work. Thanks for making these simulations! I've subscribed :)
Whoah, this animation is super smooth and clean; it really helped me understand how the ride works! Thank you!!
Knocked it out of the park. I'd say even better than what RideSims attempted!
So cool!!! Thanks for the layout!!
How beautifully done and explained. Wow thumbs up
This is awesome! Great job! Amazing how compact everything is.

@@Willbyh every time I wonder where the heck are they gonna find the space, they always shock me!
Dark ride layouts are an art by themselves

I was the very last boarding group of the day and the park closed shortly after that. Never got to go on it and I can’t afford to go back for at least another year or two.
Wow thats a pretty tragic tale. I hope you are able to get on next time!

what a cool concept for a video!
Wow that's some great and what I assume to be hard work. Thank you! :)
Amazing detailed analysis! :)
Incredible content! Truly amazing.
Amazing job with this! I was wondering how everything was laid out relative to each other.
Back when I started this there were no layouts/blueprints out that were accurate but there were some pretty good guesses, so I had a base to work off and from then on it was a LOT of watching videos and figuring it out.
INCREDIBLE

truly incredible
It’s incredible
Amazing. 👍👍
Amazing!
Thanks
can you show us how you make these simulation i want to make simulations to
I post a fair amount of development on Discord! willby.info/discord
Points for efficiency for a big crowd but how long would the waiting parts be if it was a full crowd?
I am not sure I understand?
Hey! I don't expect to have a reply, but do you think it would be possible to have sort of the same simulation but for Disneyland paris' ratatouille ? Thanks a lot 😉
It’s on my list of possibilities!
@@Willbyh that would be great thanks!
Just wondering if anybody knows where to find the audio for the alarm in the waiting queue. It's around 14:19 -14:26. Thank you :)
Like, the low pitch buzz noise?
@@Willbyh Yeah you can barely hear it from the people talking, but it kind of sounds like an alarm.
@MarsheMaIIow hmmm, I don’t know of a source for that alarm. I have not looked for a while, there may be some source out there though I doubt it. Good luck on your search!
@@Willbyh Thank you
amazing video, thank you very much
