I was just joking around when I said 6/10 but it was actually only a week off. If they do any soft openings you have a good shot of seeing one. Good luck

It doesn't seem to me that there would be any need for a soft opening other then to relieve some of the crowd pressure. The don't need to public test the old one, we all know what that one was and they can sit in the bench and see how it develops on screen as well as we can. The also cannot have a soft opening for the new ride before it is opened in China. That would be a violation of the agreement since we would have seen it before they did. So, I wouldn't hold my breath on it. It would be nice if they went ahead and showed the old one in digital, but, like I said they don't have a real motivation other then crowd control.
But a soft opening would be a good test of the new theater, and the crowd flow through the queue for three theaters instead of two.

My thoughts exactly. Now whether or not they will...we'll see I guess

That area looks just right for an enhanced M&G.

Well, it's either going to work or it isn't, wouldn't you think? I doubt that they will tear it down and start over if it doesn't work as planned, but, I probably wouldn't hurt to get an idea. I have no idea about what is involved with re-programing the show. If it's simple then they probably would be wise to do that. We all seem to think that it is a piece of cake to plug in a new show, but, I have my doubts. That is a lot of technology happening there and it's probably more then a simple flash drive. I won't be able to go in the near future so even if they do put the original back in for a couple of weeks it won't do me any good anyway.

Isn't that true of any new or refurbed ride? I think the soft openings are a chance to tweak the technology and mechanics of the ride, but just as important it's a chance for CMs to test out crowd flow, dispatch and the queue. Loading the ride should be the same, but there will be changes to the queue.

A friend in a different forum said that she got a FPP for Soarin' at 9:30 AM on the 17th - so they must be available...
Tough. It's in use.

What moved down to Tier II as a result? I'll be booking FPs in a couple of weeks, and I'm trying to figure out what the tiers might look like.

I got my two FPs for Soarin' immediately when released last week. I have one for 6/20 and one for 6/24.
I just checked for 6/20 are here is what is still available. I am a bit surprised.

Man, how great would an Alien M&G be?

The added capacity is going to help a lot. I think there will even be a decent number available in the morning for that same day. Different story for Frozen of course!
