I'm saying that I would change the entire facade if I had the choice, but what's done is done so no point in me getting worked up over it.So you're saying...it's fine.

I (obviously) don’t understand this logic at all - what point is there to discussing anything about Universal, positive or negative? Or Disney? Of course, we are told that Uni reads these forums (it’s an article of absolute faith in HHN threads) so negative opinions may actually register somewhere, however minutely.I'm saying that I would change the entire facade if I had the choice, but what's done is done so no point in me getting worked up over it.
If it's happening, it's happening in an unusually quiet way of testing since nothing is up on UOTeam unless they just plan on springing it on TMs. It's possible they let people know inside of the attractions division that a form of softs will be happening, potentially paid softs?Few folks on social media seem to be saying Team Member testing for Minion Blast starts tomorrow.
I do not expect anyone to talk about it online, or share pics/videos, but is encouraging that testing seems to be happening outside of commissioning team.

This would not be unheard of. SeaWorld just did paid softs for their Surf coaster and Universal has done them in the past for VB, but that's all I know of for sure. This is just me trying to theorize what they would be doing for a soft tomorrow.
Hope this is a “We are getting more confident on the system, let’s try it out!” And not a “Let’s see how sheit it is and how much more work we have left to do”Few folks on social media seem to be saying Team Member testing for Minion Blast starts tomorrow.

Casper, please.I (obviously) don’t understand this logic at all - what point is there to discussing anything about Universal, positive or negative? Or Disney?

I’m sorry to rant at you, you’re a great poster. It’s just that, silly as it may sound to some, I think theme parks are genuine works of art and vital cultural artifacts worthy of serious discussion (on a discussion board, for instance) and academic analysis. That’s not a niche view in relation to Disney parks, but it hasn’t extended meaningfully to other theme parks. So when there seems to be a concerted effort to shut off actual critical discussion of Uni lest it become too critical, it grates a bit.
Exactly.The key word here is testing. Not previews.
This is probably also about full capacity reliability testing. But I’m hoping they’ve made/will make improvements to game play.It sounds like the ride is working now, so this is play testing. Last I heard it needs a bit more game play tuning.
As far as "full capacity reliability testing", I never really thought about it, but there's going to be a LOT of people all firing at the same area at the same time. It's gotta be tough to work the system so it actually registers your correct score and not someone else's lolExactly.

At this point this feels like it will open in July for softs, and fully open in August. August tends to be a slower time for the parks while July tends to be slammed, so there’s no need to rush.It sounds like the ride is working now, so this is play testing.

Again I hope this thing is great, but my expectations are low-ish, but the fact they’re having issues is oddly encouraging. I figured this thing would be immensely simple to operate but it seems there is more here than expected!
If it's ready. Honestly, still thinking August, just so I don't get my hopes up.I’ve heard July opening tossed around a few months ago.
Did I miss this Minion Land sign?? When did that go up?
Couple of weeks ago.
Minion Land signage arrives at Universal Studios Florida
The new Minion Land sign was installed today at Universal Studios Florida. The signage features a bunch of Minions working together to hold up the "Minion Land" sign, which welcomes guests to the new "Minion Land on Illumination Ave.", which is set to open this Summer.

Agreed that it's somewhat encouraging!At this point this feels like it will open in July for softs, and fully open in August. August tends to be a slower time for the parks while July tends to be slammed, so there’s no need to rush.
