Haven't really read through much of this thread, but there seems to be a lot of conflicting info. I have been to MK 3 days a week for the last 12 weeks. I have seen unmanned testing, final construction details, wall removal, extremity clearance testing, engineer timing riding, cast member testing and riding, all trains cycling unmanned, emergency stops, rain testing etc. A few guests have been picked at random by management at other attractions, and asked if they would like to ride. Otherwise the likelihood of any traditional guest "soft openings" are slim to none. A very slight chance during the 24hour and wouldn't surprise me, but that is CM rumor. Any guests going to the queue up until the 24th will be turned away, and most likely after the 24th to the 28th as well. I am amazed by the guests that come up to the queue area, ask to ride, are turned away, and are incensed and pouty, despite the sign saying May 28! Where is it written that management is required to allow rides before the scheduled opening date? May 28 is only 13 days away, and that is the day it is scheduled to open. FP+ is available as everyone reading has probably already scheduled theirs. The ride is quiet, mild, butter smooth, and the carts swivel in the chassis in the turns as advertised. The rockwork and landscaping is beautiful, and Imagineers tell me it is the best scenic work they have ever done. Vercoma did Barnstormer and EE, and SDMT is a mild, tame blending, including the latest wheel technology, with low speeds and fairly low drop elevations.
