Overview
- The coaster reopened around 11:15 a.m. Friday after it did not open with the park, returning to operation following several days of instability.
- Reports track multiple multi-hour and full-day outages from August 28 through September 3, including full-day closures on August 31, September 1 and September 2.
- On-site observers documented a stranded ride vehicle at the coaster’s second launch and an open electrical panel during the multi-day shutdowns, suggesting electrical or control-system issues though no cause has been confirmed.
- Disney has not issued a public explanation and the My Disney Experience app and website sometimes continued to list normal operating hours without a refurbishment notice.
- When the ride briefly reopened this week it posted long waits of roughly 60–120 minutes, which pushed more guests toward other Hollywood Studios attractions and altered crowd patterns inside the park.
