No idea but apparently they have hands and there's more of them. A lot more.
Was thinking... if merch knows about it but ops doesn't.. and there's no reason merch would know a schedule ahead of ops really.. what if it is just for the lockers and the ride itself wont close but the shop will?
And then the lockers will expand into the shop?

That could make sense. Fix the locker situation. Then, if it's true the 3D conversion just takes a night to do, they can implement 3D sometime after.

Problem is the stairway down from unload to the shop.
Tonight I'll post two photos from walk through videos walking into Forbidden Journey castle.

Mike: That may well be the best forum member avatar scene ever. I laugh every time I see the "Thanks Shanghai". A constant reminder. :thumbsup:
If they would just pipe some AC in there it would go a long way to fixing the lockers.

10 days huh....
I can't help but imagine Kong would at least be planned for soft openings to ease guest capacity and more importantly guest complaints. Which is why there are no hard dates yet. They could be gunning for late April into Early May for all we know but one team is probably on hold until Kong is on routine soft openings. Now in 10 days what can be done? Well I'd imagine they plan on working 24/7 to accomplish as much as possible during a downtime. He is a quick list of possible things we could see after that 10 days of downtime plus whatever prep work I'm sure they start on before the fact.

- 3D Conversion
- Changes to Show Lighting
- Fix the FREAKING LOCKER ROOM!!
- Introduce Express
- Install Glasses Washroom onsite
- Screen and projector updates / replacements
- Exterior and Interior Paint Touch ups
- Finally finish the Dementor finale (BIGGEST WISH OF ALL)
These are the items the worker drones are buzzing about. That doesn't mean that the rest won't come to be. I just don't have ears in those areas.
Things that are confirmed to be changed:
Locker Room
Castle Tour Lane Queue flip (castle tour will see more of regular queue)
Lighting fixes
Touch up fixes
New queue elements.
I was very adamantly told no 3-D...

Wow, the info on this really varies. Seems to be no consensus, short of the lockers, outside there in Insider land.
I think this is either a case of false insiders or figuring out where the insiders get their info from.
