“Rise of The Resistance” Ride Dates Announced

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Hollywood Studios

Galaxy’s Edge, which is set to open in Walt Disney World on August 29th and opened in Disneyland in May was always scheduled to open in two phases. The first phase opened with the ride “Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run”. However, the long awaited ride “Rise of The Resistance” never had a date set to it for its debut. Now that wait is over!

According the DisneyParksBlog;

“We’ve got some exciting news to share today with the galaxy. We’re opening Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance Dec. 5 at Walt Disney World Resort. If this date sounds familiar, many of our fans will recognize it as Walt Disney’s birthday. What better way to honor the ultimate storyteller than by introducing the most immersive and advanced attraction ever imagined in a Disney Park.

When it opens, Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will blur the lines between fantasy and reality and will put guests in the middle of a climactic battle between the First Order and the Resistance. Guests will be recruited to join Rey and General Organa at a secret base. Along the way, they will be captured by a First Order Star Destroyer. With the help of some heroes of the Resistance, they break out and must escape the Star Destroyer, protect the secret base, and stay one step ahead of Kylo Ren.

As soon as work is completed at Walt Disney World, Imagineers will head back to California to complete their mission at Disneyland Resort where Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance will open on Friday, Jan. 17.”
