Just the soft openings. The managers of Missio: Space stated that it will take until about three months after the soft opening before there will be a grand opening.

About the same timetable as Rock n Roller Coaster, which I beleive soft opened on June 7 and had its grand opening on August 14th. Though after about the first week it was operating at NEARLY normal hours.

If you want official, it comes straight from the mouth of Marty Sklar, who I would think knows a helluva lot more about this attraction than anyone else--he is actually working on it. He stated that the attraction will open in late summer--note that he said this to guests at the Cast Blast at Disneyland. The fact that he stated this for GUESTS means that we are not talking about soft openings, here. We are talking about the grand opening taking place in August or early September. This would allow soft openings, limited in nature, to start in early July. Sklar further announced that two of the centrifuges are complete, and note that one capsule on one centrifuge was done in February--so they finished two centrifuges in two months. The ride will be done by June. Further, note that you do NOT need a full cast to soft open the ride, with say one or two centrifuges operating. Then, as the new cast members arrive in mid july, we could expect the ride to slowly raise the capacity heading toward the grand opening in, probably, mid to late August. Again, the fact that Sklar announced to guests that the attraction will open in late summer means that the grand opening will be then--they do not announce soft openings to the public. Furthermore, the fact that commercials are being taped, Fastpass kiosks were installed, and that the entire cast will be together by mid-July leads me to believe the first soft openings can begin in early July--again, very limited, as in one or two of the centrifuges operating, but still existant. Even if the ride were opening on the last day of summer, in mid September, I would say soft openings would at LEAST have to begin by late July.

aren't you the guy who was swearing up and down that it would be open by last labor day, in the SPACE Developing thread? needless to say, any info i get from you will be taken with a big old grain of salt.

Whatever. I am only relaying what Marty Sklar said--and I didn't make that up. You can find his exact words on several other websites, if you want. Next time you want to at me, send me a PM--no need to waste everyone else's time. Disney DOES NOT announce soft openings. You cannot debate that. They DON'T. That is why they always have the "shhhh..." signs out for those. Any announced dates are official opening dates, and you can argue my reliability as a source, but you cannot argue Marty Sklar's--he oversees the creation of every attraction WDI oversees the construction of; he knows what is going on, and knowingly gave a time frame to an open forum, even ackknowledging that he knew all of the information he stated would reach the internet within hours of him saying it. If you want to antagonize me, fine, but it does not seem intelligent to question something coming from the vice chairman and principle creative executive of Walt Disney Imagineering.

In DogsRule!'s defense, prior to today, I don't think Disney ever has announced a soft opening date. It appears to be something "new" they did. Perhaps using lessons they learned from the "Test Track opening disaster". No need to "pick a fight".Think happy thoughts
i don't want to pick fights, i just have a problem with people taking opinions or educated guesses and stating them as absolute facts. it seems liket he more insistant these people are that they are right, the more certain you can be that they are wrong. thats all.

If I knew you, I would walk up to you and kick your a$$, but since I don't, allow me to share with you some of my feelings. I had a rather rough day yesterday, learning that my trip to disney world in early August this year will be my last for years, so I am ed off. I am insulted by your comment, and it truly does hurt, because you find reason to rub this crap in. I do not need that. If you have a problem with me, fine. Disney has never done this before, so none of us know what is going on. Steve even stated that he was confused because this has never happened before.
Do not call me "boy". You are not my father and if you were, I would probably shoot myself. Have a little freaking respect for people and get over your obnoxious self.

No. It's a "I've had enough of your crap, Bamboo. Get a life". For the record, he flamed me first. I think it was my right to retort.
