Diagon Alley Soft Opening Watch

Update: Word has it that WB is on site in force today reviewing everything, with the sole purpose of clearing each item as ready for primetime.

Tomorrow night is a private event in Diagon for Comcast employees only. (clarification, it is probably a Comcast hosted event... for any of the VIPs from various entities.)

Another private event is scheduled for Friday night, also in Diagon. (anyone know what this is about?)

(sorry if any or all of this is already known, I just wanted it out there if not.)

Thanks Teebs. So TMs probably Thursday night and Friday morning, the maybe softs this weekend/next week?
 
Duh, sometime I miss the forest for the trees. Theoretically, the press will ride Gringotts, correct? Will they be cleared to review everything in writing or will there be restrictions. I really look forward to sharp reviews of HE and Gringotts.

VIP winners were told they'd ride Gringotts. Now I'm curious on your choice of wording...
 
I'll take any review at this point. Any kind of real confirmation that this thing has had humans on it that didn't help create it.

Is there a private event happening Thursday night? Or is it Friday?
