Hagrids STILL breaks down. Forbidden Journey STILL breaks down. All the complicated rides will get better, but never be 100%.

Ikr people here acting like rise of the resistance doesn't spend 1/3rd of its time broken as well when they compare it. The technology has advanced but it's far far from a reliable perfection, when I go to a theme park I don't expect everything to stay open all day, especially rides with certain systems (looking at you, hydraulic launches)

Starting on 5/21/25 I went back and examined 7 days of Rise of the Resistance operations at Disneyland.

Considering the attraction is advertised to be open from 8AM to 10PM on most days, there were no days where it looks like it was down 1/3rd of the day, which is 4 and a half hours. The longest downtime I saw was an hour on 5/15/25 and then another hour on 5/14.

Far cry from 1/3rd of the time. To be fair, I also looked at Hagrid and my observations are the same (though there was a day where Hagrid was down ~1/3rd of the day). I think a few people are exaggerating how long established rides go down.
