I'll preface this by saying I didn't read the other 298 pages but any clues on when this will open?

Sometime in 2018 is all we have.

Oh wow! I didn't think it'd be that soon. We are going in October 2018. I'll keep my fingers crossed

If set pieces are going in perhaps they are targeting Christmas. Might need the capacity due to Pandora.

My understanding is the current target for grand opening is 5/25/18.

Pretty much exactly what I would've guessed. Another Friday opening on Memorial Day Weekend which follows recent trend (SDMT, Pandora). Soarin Around The World and Frozen Ever After opened in mid-June last year too, so not long after.

Would that put SWL's target around December 2019?

In a very ironic date, I had heard Easter of 2018. April 1. . . . . . . .

Progress on Alien SS seems to be moving along smoothly. Then again, it's only a simply whip ride.

I thought Alien SS was going to be like a teacup ride? What kind of ride is this exactly? Any idea on potential capacity? Do the two sections not connect?

It's this ride, but Green Alien themed:

This was more fun that I thought it was going to be...to be honest...

Looks like a great ride to just chill out and be rocked back and forth with a nice breeze... if it weren't for all those nettling little things that get in the way. What do you call them again?... Oh, yeah: children.

Whip ride, exactly like Mater's Junkyard Jamboree in DCA just with a different theme. The two sides are independent. The one at DCA is 600 per hour, but that could change based on the length of the ride.
