Some data on your chances to ride Disneyland's 'Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance'

As someone who hasn’t been to a theme park in decades, I have a question. Are people buying an expensive Disneyland ticket to spend all day in a line they may not get to go on? Or do they take your number or give you a buzzer to let you know when your boarding group is coming up in the queue so you can spend the time until then enjoying the rest of the park? If not, why not?

Disney doesn’t do that. If you’re in the line you get to ride unless the ride is broken. This is about letting more folks in the line in the first place, and is AFAICT only happening at Disneyland, not DisneyWorld, in part because the latter has a much better technology for fast-passes (essentially always-on boarding groups) and so on.
