Play Disney Parks app to offer new activities with the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance

The Play Disney Parks will offer two new experiences with the opening of Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance on December 5 2019.

With your Star Wars: Datapad, you can choose to support either side by selecting new jobs within the app as you move through the Resistance clearing and towards attraction. Look for the new Star Destroyer icon in your Datapad to take on these new jobs.

Distress Signal Received

If you choose to help the Resistance you’ll receive a distress signal from Finn, who is undercover on a Star Destroyer near Batuu. Connect and help him navigate the ship by selecting his path – and you may even free Resistance prisoners, reprogram droids and gather information on what the First Order is up to on the way. Depending on the route you share with Finn, you’ll uncover items and schematics exclusive to this assignment.

Infiltrate Resistance Recruitment

Meanwhile, First Order loyalists entering the Resistance recruit line will be tasked with surveilling and reporting back on the status of Resistance supplies. You will be able to communicate with a First Order officer as you make your way through, and with her instruction you may choose to scan crates, intercept transmissions or even plant tracking devices from your Datapad.

It could be argued that as you were already visiting wdw you were already paying for an inadequate product

Drives me nuts that people will pay an ILL price for a ride that is not working properly for most riders. Back in the day when Space Mtn was an ILL, I rode with the lights on and was granted a refund when asked. Last March, Guardians broke down and finished without music- I asked for a refund as a result and was granted. Don't pay for an inadequate product!

What: The Yeti. How: They take him apart and remove him through the access door installed solely for this purpose. When: I don't have an exact date, but I believe it was around 1-2 years after going into permanent B mode.. @marni1971 might have a more exact date. EDIT: If you are interested, there is a ton of information here. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/expedition-everest-effects-status-watch.171808/ This post is particularly helpful. https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/expedition-everest-effects-status-watch.171808/page-141#post-7514980

What? How? When?

The yeti is relatively low to the floor and has its own access door to remove it from the building - as has been done at least once.

Master Yoda49 minutes ago

The yeti was installed after the mountain was built. It has also been removed completely at least once.

How is that incorrect?

HauntedPirate54 minutes ago

1000% incorrect.

It's just some nondescript coaster themed to India or something. No one cares... right? :cautious:

Agent H54 minutes ago

No it’s literally impossible to fix the yeti without tearing the ride apart

Well, you know what they say - 'Never trust a YouTuber'.

the excuse for the yeti is always “nobody actually notices” or the family from Denver doesn’t care….. If your competitor is paying designers to construct jokes about it and then install them in a gift shop….. I think people actually notice and oh yeah…. That family from Denver is probably going to Universal anyways :-p

Well that’s what amusement labs said

No. The cannons are a)not trackless and b)assigned as show doors so far as the RCS knows, with all the relevant safety and ride envelope issues.
