Did cms get their previews yet? Usually that happens first before AP and DVC.

Posters upthread said media May 5 -6 and C33 on May 7.

I'm a little surprised that people haven't figured out a few more story elements. Between the concept art (even back to some of the earliest pieces) and the UOE building layouts, a lot of pieces are there that some may not have put together. Maybe a good starting question is when do you "leave" the UoE Building/Exhibit?

People aren’t digging into this. I think we “leave” the UoE Exhibit in the main preshow. That room was always referred to in leaks as the “transformation” room. So maybe it starts as part of the exhibit and then boom we are teleported to a different more industrial location in space with the guardians. That explains the different design ashetic of the the second half of the queue/loading area.

I don't think you're supposed to wait till it opens or know your facts before trashing it repeatedly on here, shame on you for having optimism

Don't be trash talkin' Carousel of Progress! I love that attraction... Best in the Park (behind the Tiki Room). And Walt, YES WALT, had his hand in it and the Tikis.

There are a lot of videos out there of people trying to leave before it's over which causes a hard stop on the show and a haranguing pleading to stay seated.

There’s no accounting for taste.

Maybe they need to move over the seats from the old stitch attraction.

Am I wrong in thinking that we've only seen about 1/4 of the queue area, sure on twitter I saw a map stating this was a small pat of the queue area?

Not even 1/4.

 

[Gaston's gal]

There's a possibility that AP preview/DVC Preview invites could go out this coming week folks!

Where did you hear that? I am both so I will want to watch for them.

Not even 1/4.

Thought not.

Will the CMs be "Xandarians" or Earth-based?

 

[matt9112]

This has always seemed to me to be a new take on the Space Mountain genre. AA's don't seem to be necessary to that experience.

500 million dollars.

How much did mako cost?

Will the CMs be "Xandarians" or Earth-based?

I'm wondering the same. I feel since we haven't seen a preview of new name tags, I'd assume they'll be earth-based.

 

[Coaster Lover]

Where on Earth (or Xandar) did the 5 billion go?

Must be the executive wash room that they built into the gravity building. Solid gold toilets, red wine water fountains, and having Yo-Yo Ma on retainer to provide continous live ambience music don't come cheep!

My wife saw a video clip of the vehicle rotation (old video, I believe). She’s already concerned about motion sickness on the ride.

Damn so close! What's the odds a lay-person like me could catch a soft opening roughly a week before? We leave on the 23rd May. Is there usually soft openings before known opening dates where random park goers can jump on?

Really wish this could have waited until after October.

Shame, but thanks for the detailed info anyway. Hopefully the ride is terrible then
