- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is a technological marvel. This is the headlining attraction at Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios. This is a highly complicated experience merging highly-themed sets and multiple ride systems. This is why it's not only Disney's masterpiece, but it may be the world's best ride. I will explain why in this review. Please note, this will include heavy spoilers.

The cast members for this ride clearly love their jobs. When I rode it for the first time, and we entered the Star Destroyer hangar, everyone was snapping up photos like crazy. The cast member’s response? “Once you’ve finished documenting your failure, please follow me to be interrogated.”
It’s these little bits that help sell this experience for me, and why I think it’s the greatest theme park attraction ever constructed
I like hitting the buttons in the hallway and seeing their reaction.
I rode this last December. My second favorite ride at the resort, only behind cosmic rewind.
I prefer this to Cosmic Rewind, but both are awesome.
Me too!
Another detail that gets missed or overlooked is that depending on the actual time of day outside, when you are falling from the Star Destroyer in the escape pod, the time of day on the video screen matches the approximate time of day outside. So if you are riding at 2pm, when you fall, it shows a daytime scene of Batuu. If you are riding at night, the Batuu scene will be dark with lights on the buildings.
Also, during your review, you said "You have a quick and turbulent journey through before you crash land on Pacara" however, while you are headed for Pacara when you take off, you are intercepted by the First Order, and end up crash landing back on Batuu.
Ah ok, thanks for clarifying you land back in Batuu.
My 3rd Favorite Ride Of All Time After Steel Vengeance And Radiator Springs Racers
Completely understandable.
One thing I like about Rock and Roll Rollercoaster, and Smuggler’s Run is the single rider lanes.
The one on Smugglers Run is fast, but I don't use it often since you always get stuck with engineer.
The greatest dark ride ever created hands down & one of the best theme park rides anywhere in the world. ESPECIALLY the first few ride thrus
It's incredible.
This is my third favorite ride at Disneyland after Indiana Jones and Haunted Mansion. Indiana Jones is just peak theme park attraction immersiveness mixed with thrill and Haunted Mansion has a perfect theme with a so much detail I notice something new everytime I ride it (not to mention the holiday overlay that keeps the attraction fresh during the year). Rise of the Resistance is such an incredible experience throughout.
There are so many amazing dark rides at this park.
All I know is that the stormtrooper’s aim is as impeccable as ever.
Always
Best ride in the world. It is quite literally the full package
It's exceptional.
It looks cool not gonna lie, even though I haven't ridden it yet, but I still don't think that it'll beat my current favorite ride at Disneyland Space Mountain in my opinion. Personally I think that space mountain is king of Disneyland. But I'll just have to wait and see when I actually get the chance to ride it
I prefer some of their highly themed dark rides over Space Mountain myself.
It’s the best ride Disney has ever made, but it’s not my favorite-not even in the park-Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway is my favorite at Studios.
That's another awesome ride, but I prefer Rise.
The things I would do to ride this again for the first time
Same here.
Haven't ridden Rise of the Resistance yet, but if Disney built more rides like this, my opinion of Disney parks would be way higher.
This ride is a masterpiece.
Amazing ride. Star Wars is still so popular. It's a great franchise. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It really is!
The breakdowns make waiting in any kind of standby wait for this unbearably stressful. It's just such a lousy feeling to suck an hour out of your day only to have a breakdown happen before you even make it in the queue building.
Even using a Lightning Lane is nerve wracking as I've had it break multiple times pretty much exactly when I get into that line. Then when it reopens the LL backs up so bad the same problem of not wanting to risk the time in queue because of the breakdowns
I've been lucky to never have it breakdown while I've been in line, but I've heard horror stories.
Is there any rollercoasters you prefer over this dark ride? If so then which ones do you prefer over this.
I prefer only my top coasters over this. I'd take this over all but like 2% of the coasters I have been on.
@@CanobieCoaster And how many coasters have you ridden as of February 2024
I agree. Unfortunately, however, it appears the canons have gone the way of the Yeti on Expedition Everest.
I thought they haven't been used in years, but I've seen some reports swearing they have been used. But they seem extremely rare at best now.
Not sure if this happened to you, but I got both A-mode Kylo (first time) and B-Mode Kylo (second time) on the very same day
I've had that happen.
Surprised you didn't mention it, but the doors at 15:20 actually lead to the maintenance bay.
I didn't realize that's where they went. I suspected it might given the layout I found.
@@CanobieCoaster There's a good simulation on RideSims that I recommend checking out. When you remove cars that's where they go, and vice versa.
Will you ever go back to Lagoon and ride primordial this year of 2024?
I was wondering the same thing! That thing is absolutely incredible as well!!
I'll be back eventually. Just not sure when at this time.
Love this ride experience. But I must admit, it's been less enjoyable since 2020 because it's less immersive.
If a cast member still desires to wear a mask, that's their prerogative. But Disney needs to reassign those cast members to other attractions. Nothing takes me immediately out of the off-world ride experience than a First Order officer giving me orders through a mask.
That's not intended to be a knock on the individual for wearing a mask, but on Disney for lacking the self-awareness to permit things that ruin the immersive experience.
I don't think it ruins the experience since plenty of people in Star Wars wear masks.
