Based on the progress, TBA should see previews for the attraction by mid April - early May? I would think

I have a conference the week of April 15 in Orlando, so my wife and I are staying a couple extra days to enjoy the last days of our APs (still deciding if we want to renew). If they announced an AP preview for that weekend, we'd be moving our flight from Thursday to Saturday immediately.

I may have missed this - but if water is running does that mean the interior is mostly finished? I would think they would need construction walkways set up in the flume until they were close to done.

Almost certainly, at least work near the flume itself. The water is running through the entire ride with the exception of the lift hills and drops.

That waterfall has a low setting that they would switch to either in the colder months or whenever a boat halted there for more than a few seconds. It doesn't really get people wet at that setting, and i'm fine with it remaining in such a case.

I'm more curious whether they've removed the soakers that would drench the boats between the first and second lifts. Those I hope they leave off, or again switch them permanently to the low setting they would often set them to so they don't reach the boats. I haven't spotted any of the pipes in any of the construction photos yet, though getting angles of them is tricky.

I am sure it's just not on yet... but I wouldn't be mad if that damn waterfall of doom near the end never turned on again....

It’s Dr. Facilier in waterfall form. Don't you disrespect Facilier Falls, little man! Don't you derogate or deride!

Y’all worried about a little water. Meanwhile I’m on Ripsaw Falls like

Do some of us seriously believe Universal’s latest announcement left Disney thinking, “GAWRSH! Better open something 3 months early, ah-hyuck!”?

They knew EU was opening next year. Everyone knows this. D’Amaro specifically rides Fear Fall to inspect the park’s progress. He thinks the Helios looks like Riviera.

The only reason this was accelerated was because MK desperately needs capacity and it was possible to condense the timeline. The only reason for delaying to late 2024 was for something to market then. They’ll market it this summer into fall instead.

I believe at least one person who likes to swing through trees might believe exactly that.
