I went 10/26, Friday. My first time on RSR. It broke down when I was in the middle of the dark portion. I would guess we were there 10 minutes. The tractors weren't tipping.

It goes back to the earlier argument: Disney has been doing this for almost 60 years, they should know how to test an attraction and open it with minimal issues.Quote:

Personally, I try to not judge too quickly until I know exactly why a given attraction is going down. At most attractions, downtimes are usually not the result of the attraction "breaking"......they're the result of the system and/or CM's doing what they're supposed to do in a potentially dangerous situation. The question is how to prevent those situations in the first place, and how to fine-tune the equipment so that it doesn't overreact to situations that aren't dangerous.
I went on Sunday, October 14th. We went over there at 9:30 am and it was down. We did the rest of Cars Land & Hollywood Backlot. Returned around noon and it was down down. Finished the park, went to Disneyland, went on about 6 rides, came back at 4 pm, down. Went and ate at DTD, came back to see if RSR was up and running around 6:30. We never got to ride it that day. :(
I can't complain, because we've been on it about 5 times beforehand - but every day, it had broken down in the morning and we got lucky by showing up at the right time. My mom's a cancer patient and uses a Guest Assistance Pass for the rides, and every time a CM has given us an initial return time, it's been closed upon return.
I will give it time, because this ride is amazing and truly unlike anything I've ever been on.
But...I'm paying Disney premium prices for them to do it the right way...Quote:

From the FB page, DCA Today, posted at about 10:45 AM.

Due to planned work at Radiator Springs Racers, the attraction will be opened at noon today. This will not affect FASTPASS distribution.
When the park is closed I'd sure like to see how many CM's they have working on this attraction, must be a mad house.
See, they are working on it! Just be patient!
Again today.Quote:

Glad to see they are trying to address the broken effects.
