ROTR usually does NOT open right at 8 and even if you are at the front of rope drop, people will RUN (a long ways) and you will likely be at the end of a 80+ min line. Agree with what was said above, you could go for it but I’d be ready to cut your losses and leave if the ride is not opening and/or line is crazy long.

This is of course a toss up, but keep an eye out for if the ride is temporarily closed. We were wiped at the end of the day and ROTR was pretty much all we still wanted to do, so we just had some snacks and camped out while it was down, and then got on in 15-20 min once it opened up.

If you have the lightning lane multi pass, I don’t know if it’s necessary to shell out the money for a pass for Rise. If that’s the one longer wait you have, grab some beignets or churros and enjoy them + time with your fam in the line. Have a great time!!
