It's a really good looking sign.

I'm betting it opens Labor Day weekend.

Rapids churn in SeaWorld Orlando's Infinity Falls ride but still no open date set - Orlando Sentinel

Some great testing footage.

As expected, this ride was way behind. Even the CEO commenting that the delay was "disappointing.". This is another black eye for a park that has been pummeled in recent years.

Hopefully they can get this thing open by Labor Day.

Intamin strikes again.

From the footage it doesn't look like you'll get that wet from the big drop.

Love this shot of the ride.

Love this shot of the ride.

Oh wow, that's beautiful.

That rockwork style reminds me of the Giant’s Causeway in Northern Ireland.

That's not such a bad thing...I'm sure you'll be completely soaked by then.

Beautiful looking ride but still needs more foliage surrounding the ride path.

That’ll grow in time. They’re just trying to get the ride open at this point.

I mean realistically, how much longer though? I'm not sure how far along they are with the queue and everything else, but you would think that an announcement would be made soon if SeaWorld is trying to shoot for Labor Day Weekend.

Even short notice would get extra locals in the door this holiday weekend. The summer season is officially over after Labor Day.

Considering this is a "water ride", I would think that most folks would be excited to ride while it's still hot outside.

So I happened to stumble across this linked article while searching Twitter for information. It's an article from a Brazilian website. I translated it from Portuguese to English to read it.
The article reports that on Monday 20th there was a Visit Orlando roadshow event in Sao Paulo, where a SeaWorld executive reportedly said that it would open next week. Now to see if any official announcement confirming this comes later this week.

Maybe soft openings?

Maybe. I suppose we can only speculate till we get something official.

Sea World continues testing for Infinity Falls. Rafts were being dispatched at a 'loading' pace. Also all the rafts have been removed from the displays around the park. I really do think this could at least soft open some time late next week.
