Diagon Alley Soft Opening Watch

[dm272]

Do you think they might do softs during that private event?

Studios is closing due to a private event. Nothing serious, but Potter training will probably be happening then just because.

Doubt it...you have to pay to rent out the park for an event, they're not gonna let those people get into Diagon Alley.

Softs are for GP who get lucky.

You guys remember how the 7DMT opened?

we're getting a '24 hours' at the Studios!

Unless everything is at sixes and sevens, I'd say those numbers would be very possible.

6/7? :look:

 

[GAcoaster]

June 6th was the target date I heard for softs...

6/7? :look:

I'll see you :look: and raise you :wave:

 

[Teebin]

^ Right. And Quint hinted and confirmed the seventh... so unless I hear a change is in the offing from Quint, I believe we're good to go.

I'm sorry, but this was too appropriate for this thread, in so many ways, not to post it

I've heard 6/7 from several people

Confirming hearing rumblings of something for the 7th of June as well. I'm not getting my hopes up, but...

Any word on how mock service is progressing? If the 7th is still planned for softs, I'm wondering what that means for the 8th. Continued softs or a day to reset and continue working out kinks? Sunday will be my first chance to visit in a while. Thanks to everyone for offering what they can.

Team Member previews will be before softs...wait for those to start and then softs have the possibility of being right around the corner

I'm going to the parks on the 7th, so should I wait around the London Waterfront and see if they start letting people in for softs or should I just enjoy my time doing other stuff?

 

[kimlovesfl]

Soft openings on the 7th, along with the crowds that Robin Thicke will bring? Ugh.

I'd put off that trip a week.

As of this moment, directive has not changed. However, based on my new knowledge, softs now seem unlikely for next weekend. Good point of reference: second wing MUST be installed first.

 

[Kevin38]

Has anyone else done the harry potter supplies search thing.
The last thing on the list is a ticket on hogwarts express
(june 18th) Does that mean there will be reservations available online ?

If opening is the 26th this contest would still be running

 

[freediverdude]

Ok, well today I've reached the point where I have to make a decision about my reservation starting the 11th, since we're about 6 days out from that. I'm assuming that by the 13th it won't be open at this point, so would it be worth it to change it to say the 15th and 16th? Or just change to the last couple days in June or sometime in July.

Safer to move it to July.
