Rise of the Resistance Begins Testing Interrogation Room Group Indicators

There is roughly 80 seconds between when you’re assigned a color and when you’ll have to recall what color that is. 80 seconds is way too much time to remember your color, so the First Order has installed group color indicators in the interrogation room for you and your party to stand on or around. Here’s a look!

I understand the need for something because no one bothers to remember their color in my experience, but having large colorful marks on the ground breaks immersion.

Folks can't remember a color 80 seconds later?

Seriously - that was my first thought.

We've been 'tested' on our color during that brief wait time - that seems like an effective alternative. maybe this is more for non-english speaking?

People don't pay attention. They chat with who they are there with or tbh I'm not a star wars fan but the attraction is enjoyable. I have a tendency to tune out or stop paying attention to stuff. I keep looking down at the ground to see what I'm standing on. I do the same on fop but find it much easier to remember a number than a color so maybe they should have done row numbers instead. Especially with all the attractions that use numbers. I think that would have been far easier.

Special Event Equipment, Tents Installed in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom

While Disney hasn’t specifically said what the equipment is for, there are no special events planned for regular guests in the near future, and the National High School Cheerleading Championships will be renting out Magic Kingdom after it closes on Sunday, February 13th. The equipment install is likely for that after-hours party.

The colors are fine on the floor and needed. I still can't figure out why they went with grey/orange and not just red/blue/yellow/green. KISS.
