How intense is Rise of the Resistance?

It can feel intense for many families, and not just because of the ride motion. Expect dark scenes, loud effects, sudden transitions, and a story that keeps the pressure up through much of the experience.

Is Rise of the Resistance too intense for younger kids?

It can be. The 40-inch height requirement is one sign that this is built for bigger riders, and the atmosphere may feel intimidating for kids who are uneasy with darkness, villains, or loud effects.

Is this a good pick for motion-sensitive riders?

Possibly not. Some riders who do well on other attractions still find this one overwhelming because the intensity comes from both movement and immersive storytelling, so use extra caution if anyone in your group is motion-sensitive or sensory-sensitive.

How much time should we budget for Rise of the Resistance?

Plan for this as a major part of your Hollywood Studios day, not a quick stop. The attraction itself is listed at about 25 minutes before you add any time in line.

Should we prioritize this early in the day?

Usually yes if it is one of your top goals. Since this is a major headliner, many families are better off deciding early whether it is worth giving up a significant chunk of the day.

Is Rise of the Resistance a good rainy-day attraction?

It can help in bad weather because it is indoors, but it is not a quiet reset. You may be out of the rain, but the experience is still loud, dark, and high-energy.
