It actually makes me worry about the Epic version too — this version tested too, after all. As more months pass by I’m wondering if this is a Top Thrill 2 situation…
Sure, but no ride is foolproof — eventually they’re going to have to have enough confidence to open the ride with the knowledge that it’s going to break down a little bit. You can’t open a ride with 100% certainty.This is also more of a protective move than anything as well....USJ has limited capacity due to a lot of attractions being reworked then add in this ride saying its open but having continually breakdowns, its smarter to work out all the kinks so it works well at opening rather than say good enough open it and have it down multiple days making angry customers.
I am gonna be praying to every deity imaginable for soft openings, LOL.I’m at USJ today!
DK is easily visible from Hippogriff and Hollywood Dream - Backdrop so I got to see it often. It’s definitely testing, but I didn’t see any test riders or even water dummies.
Also, the ride is LOUD from the Forbidden Journey outdoor queue. You hear a loud boom + what sounds like Diddy shrieking.
Excited to see if we get any news. That USJ twitter page seems to believe it’s opening November 5th because of some extended hours.
