And if they get it done for 2019, it'll likely be the end of the year.
I see late 2019/Early 2020 open. Just look at Avatar for a prime example. From start of construction to the opening "season" they gave, it will have been 3.5 years (Jan 2014 - Summer 2017).
We're getting off-topic though.

They would not open TSL and SWL in the same year. SWL will be late 2019 or early 2020 at this point.

The only thing it lends itself to is the sense of awe you get while standing in the outdoor queue, seeing these massive jeeps actually being "driven" like jeeps. It's an impressive view.
I'm pretty perplexed as to why this isn't opening until 2018. It seems that the building structure is complete since they have started putting up the exterior façade. Also, since this is supposed to be similar to what is already in Hollywood why would they still need another year to get this up and running. Look at how fast they got Transformers constructed and running; I don't understand why they can't do the same with F&F unless they are seriously altering the attraction...
According to @Teebin (maybe, don't really remember.. could've been @testtrack321 even) there were some modifications done from the original design.. so the delay could be due to the 3rd party companies not having their respective parts ready in time.
Similar to how (supposedly) the Jimmy Fallon ride system has been done for a while before they needed to install it, except the opposite.
Oh yeah, I got way ahead of myself. It was supposed to open in 17. Sorry about the mini freakout. 
@Teebin were you the one that reported that they were changing up some things?Oh yeah, I got way ahead of myself. It was supposed to open in 17. Sorry about the mini freakout.
In the last 8 months of Kong, I found out that F&F was on hold. I mused at the time that they might be reconsidering the ride system. Since then, it has been others on here that rumored that the ride system has been changed. After Kong opened, my knowledge base vanished due to non-bad things.

I would expect the system to go back to tracked, the payoff is so little it seems.
Especially in Kong as you enter the gate, they should of just transitioned into a guidance track. A rider is never going to notice that.
Maybe I wouldn't of had to wait in line for two hours if they did =)

Oh sure, people won't listen to the Dippin Dots guy or the bus drivers but we'll listen to a wall? What do walls know? I mean, yes, they have ears but still....
