Ask 100 individuals what the most effective theme park journey on the earth is, and whilst you won’t get 100 completely different solutions, you’ll get sufficient to make it clear there isn’t any actual consensus. That stated, there are just a few sights that can steadily be at or close to the highest of any checklist. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance is actually one among them. It was heralded as the most effective theme park sights ever created when it opened, however extra not too long ago, it’s been getting some flak.
Not too long ago, there appears to be a wave of negativity surrounding Rise of the Resistance, and one Disney YouTuber took to X to debate his frustration. His feedback on the journey have gone viral, which factors out that the attraction continues to be fairly spectacular, and it’s nonetheless a particular expertise, assuming you’re not a Disney content material creator within the parks day-after-day.
I don’t get the random hate that Rise of the Resistance is getting these days. It’s an outstanding journey, in all probability prime 5 of all time. These criticizing “rerideability” appear to be on the park day-after-day and any journey would get boring day-after-day.I’m going on it each 4-5 months and LOVE it. pic.twitter.com/xETEBGvT1YAugust 26, 2025
I don’t actually perceive the argument that Rise of Resistance has an absence of “re-rideability.” The identical could possibly be despatched for almost each darkish journey, and actually almost each theme park journey that there’s. The types of sights that add selection so that every expertise is completely different, just like the a number of choices of Star Excursions or the music choices on Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, are the exception, not the rule.
And Rise of the Resistance nonetheless holds up right this moment. It is the most effective journey at Disneyland and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, a minimum of till the Muppets take over the Rock ‘N’Curler Coaster.
Epic Universe has two completely top-tier darkish rides in Harry Potter and the Battle of the Ministry, my private favourite, and Monsters Unchained: the Frankenstein Experiment, our managing editor’s favourite. That stated, I might nonetheless give Rise of the Resistance the sting over each. Rise balances animated characters, units and screen-based motion collectively in a means that the opposite rides don’t, and does so whereas supplying you with a whole view of all the pieces round you.
I actually don’t journey Rise of the Resistance on each journey to Disneyland or Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The attraction routinely has the longest line in its respective parks. As such, I’d guess most individuals, even those that frequent the parks solely journey it from time to time, but it surely’s nonetheless a completely unimaginable expertise. If it doesn’t blow you away, possibly that’s a you downside.
