Plus running the ride isn’t the same a doing full cycling testing. They’d need to test it with more than one train with all show effects in place.

When I think "wear and tear" in the sense we're talking about, I think to prevent the vehicles/Gondolas from getting scratched accidentally by something since it is an active construction zone after all. If they took a wrap off of the Potter cars, imagine how much dirt would get in there and possible damage.
Back on topic, this incredible attraction and ground breaking coaster is going to close so many times this summer due to weather it’s going to be great!
Just kidding. But seriously, IOA is the most frustrating park in the summer.
Also I love Harry Potter and I am so excited for this coaster and okay bye.
Try Busch Gardens on a summer day with lightning all day. Literally 0 rides can be ridden.
Based on a conversation I had today, I would add at least 90 days to that date. Merlin's beard.
That is a lot of days. Also makes sense as to why it hasn't been announced for definitely opening for the summer too
I know that's probably from ride issues, but I want to believe it's so they have more time to add more scenery like rockwork and enclosing the spike! (But I may need to start tempering my expectations on that.)
It's a good thing we don't shoot the messengers of bad news anymore.

Annnnd, there's why they never announced an opening date!
It's going to be a pretty lackluster summer in Orlando if neither major resort has anything new to offer.

It must be, for the most part theming seems to be on target as far as I can tell.
Remember: We're dealing with Intamin. People should have ride system delays baked into their expectations.
I'm less worried about that since it has less "stuff" around the track...
But then again Cheetah Hunt got delayed big time too, so who knows.
