So, the whole reason why I've been following this thread is because I'm really hoping to get on a soft opening ride when I'm there from April 5-8th. Do I have a chance? What do you guys think? Do you think it will be open by then?

I think anytime after April 1 is a realistic possibility.

I have nothing to judge that on other than what we've seen of late both with one of the walls being down on the western face that is across from BE our guest as well as the Disney parks go pro video they just released of an actual ride through… (I haven't watched it, I like to be surprised) and my gut.

If they are having some sort of media event at the end of April where all they are already touting advanced rides on it for the press, it seems very realistic that it would… The key word here being could… Be testing in time for the Easter break. Which is middle of April.

There are people with better inside information on timetables than me, but given the history of this company and the crowds that are expected for spring break, I hope to God it's in at least a soft opening or testing come then.

The other thought I have is that with the rise of the Internet and people who will stalk the opening of an attraction, soft opening and random testing may just not be happening anymore…

So the bottom line here Alyssa is a would not bet money on it but it very well could happen.

Why do new members keep posting in this thread as if they have info. that others do not? wdwmagic.com is the last line of defense in weeding out rumors and speculation (IMO).

We have so many VERIFIED resources here who have made no statements along the lines of some of these "alleged" insiders. When @Lee, @WDW1974 , @PhotoDave219, say something, I will listen. Until then, quit giving these "insiders" the benefit of doubt. Sorry to call the real insiders out but the tree of liberty must be refreshed with the blood of tyrants. Yeah that's a bit dramatic but I love this site and what it stands for and I'll be damned if we give these phonies a free pass on my watch!
We will continue to weed them (and their other accounts) out.. yes, we have 3 less accounts today cause of what happened here the last 2 days... As Limp Bizkit once sang TROLLING TROLLIN TROLLING TROLLIN... and the troll got busted... THREE TIMES!!!! But he is gone now...

As for this ride, expectations still tempered... Sure will look nice but not expecting anything grand...

From Team Disney Podcast (God forbid we should just post construction updates in this thread instead of the meaningless back and forth that has been consuming it lately).

Looks like shingles have started going up over the structure covering the queue outside the mountain.

Thats fine, I could care less. By late March-April you'll all see it. Maybe earlier if a cast member leaks out a pic.

Let me add, the inside is like 80% done. The hold up is the exterior and interactive quene.



Thanks @danlb_2000. This shows what I said days ago was valid. Hopefully, they finish it quickly.
