Here’s a look the entrance sign at (sorta) night.View attachment 870536View attachment 870537

I do like the sign - but the rocks still feel like an odd choice

I’m having flashbacks of getting locked out of Tiana’s AP VQ and watching empty boats cycle. Hoping for better luck Sat.

We got a boarding group for today at the 1pm drop, but it’s been down all day since then due to the storms. Doesn’t seem they even brought it back online after the storms cleared, it still says “boarding paused.”

EDIT: minutes after I posted this they opened back up. We were sitting at home in our lounging clothes lol. We quickly got dressed and rushed over. In line now.

I'll be honest yall... i was really excited for this. After riding it, its a better test track, but its still just test track. And the brakes at the end still jerk you around.

Wait until you ride Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin when it reopens.... Its gonna be Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin.

Mind = Blown. I know.

With rocks. Big or small, that is the question.

If you are heading to the passholder previews, note that Cast Members were asking guests at the exit this morning if they wanted to re-ride, and, if so, were sending them to the single rider line.

I got a push notification saying I could ride if I wanted to so if you are in the park you might get lucky. Rode twice.

I like it! Probably my favorite version of the ride experience. I was hoping for more from the waiting area - no pre-show or anything.

Hopefully they have some surprises for the post show when it gets installed but probably just more cars.

For AP holders only? Or is it a soft open type situation?

Yes - AP only - and only those who got the notification. They asked to see both.

What did you expect? They weren’t building a new ride. They did what they set out to do, build a better/improved/updated test track

Its fine, they did a refresh as part of anther 10 year sponsorship renewal.

I am surprised there is not more going on in the exit area.

It seems like a wasted opportunity for gm to me.

Based on the rate at which the rocks are getting bigger, here's what I project the sign will look like on opening day:

Come opening day, it all, sign included, will be gone and have been replaced by a giant bolder.
