Sorry, big boy, some of us don't live in Florida and are just trying to piece together things we have read - on forums, you know, like this one - due to Universal's complete lack of communication about timing thus far. Some of us decided weeks ago to purchase tickets for a flight to Orlando (because the longer you wait, the more expensive they get) and are just trying to figure out one way or another whether there's a snowball's chance in hell of attending a soft opening or whether we should just plan on doing some Disney this time around. Some of us would like a little advanced knowledge about something, anything, prior to our upcoming trip, and with comments about the Gringotts ride of death and doom on the one hand, coupled with smarmy "Chill, noobs, announcement's comin' any day now, sheesh" comments from snotty Orlandians on the other, it's a little frustrating for those of us who aren't BFFs with people who work at Universal. Which is why we're reading your damn forum in the first place. So maybe a little more, I dunno, compassion? tolerance? hospitality? is in order?
And they say the French are rude.
J'en ai tellement marre de ces connards chiants. Putain!
P.S. Why even have a soft opening thread at all if it's so impossible to predict possible soft opening dates in advance based on TM date and opening date info? Just post a "No way to know nuthin'. Check #potterwatch, noobs" message and lock the thread if that's the case.
