*SPITS*
Thought they were saving this for March 11
I’m camping out as soon as the walls come down. See ya all there!Soft opening thoughts...
Kong's official opening was July 13. We so happened to be there in June and I was a lurking this lovely forum. I distinctly remember rumored softs for about a week, and then, as we were eating early dinner at Confisco (to shift around and avoid dinner crowds) on June 9, this forum lit up with "it's happening", "it's happening!", and "it's really happening". We ran over and got in! That soft was an amazing experience.
So, HMCMBA is opening June 13. I will be there May 22- June 2. Please let this happen! :grin: :freak:
If this does work out, I have noticed that a few other members of this fine forum plan to be there at that same time. We should definitely do an IU soft rush. :toast:
Our first DVC stay. Copper Creek. Sooo, not very far away, but once we check in there’s no way we’re getting back in that car.Headed anywhere fun?

What can I say, we love the parks. Looking forward to lounging poolside most of the time.That’s a funny vacation for an Orlando native but I love it.
Have a blast.
It’s kind of different. “Tron Lightcycle Power Run Coaster” sounds awful and doesn’t use alliteration. :dance:No different than the Tron coaster being named Tron Lightcycles Power Run and not Tron Lightcycles Power Run Coaster.
Saving a 30 second spot for March that told us absolutely nothing new except what they told us yesterday? Why?
Does it matter? We know Disney always spent more than Universal, Efteling spent less, in the end it's the result that counts. That said I think it's Universals most expensive coaster.Will this be the most expensive coaster ever made?
I know generally with LIM/LSM launches it takes a lot of time to adjust the launch to the correct speed/force. With so many launches, it could be pull a train onto a launch, test just that launch, then pull to the next launch and adjust that one. It's one thing to test like that, it's another to send a train through the full course. Especially with an untested launch/spike/drop/switch section and the dual drop tracks, there's a lot of tricky timing that needs to be tested for reliability.I doubt the launches are all reversible, so I can't see how they have run sections, but not full circuit. Unless they are just testing animatrons.
I agree, throwing down a 100 day gauntlet to sell hotel rooms without some serious testing completed would be VERY risky.
It's not like Universal outdid Disney on a massive attraction announcement. They outdid them on something that would've been in the back-end of the news cycle even in Orlando from Disney. A new entrance and a play pavilion isn't a big announcement nor would anyone have really cared on social media even if Potter HADN'T been announced.Yeah we're not talking about that at all, I'm SHOCKED they gave us a date. I figured that'd be a March thing. Makes me think more this is a response to a Disney dump than vice versa.

A certain DL fanboy on twitter had the nerve to compare this to Slinky Dog Dash and I’m like dude seriously get your facts straight. It really pissed me off yesterday that he really was coming off kind of like a jerk talking about he hit a nerve with some people. Only thing the rides have in common is that their both family friendly and that’s it. :thud:
