Allen got his wish: Lights in the neighbor's windows.

^That was posted the page prior.

From the looks of things, SSFL's dry play area is freaking tiny, although it's probably the same as the Curious George general playground. There seems to definitely be a small indoor queue as well. The two theaters are appropriately adjacent from each other.

BTW, that site is atrocious.

 

[raffman]

yeah the site sucks big time. Sorry about the double post guys . Yeah the are looks kinda small :/

Allen got his wish: Lights in the neighbor's windows.

Fantastic! When I got the "no" I was extremely surprised, as lights in the neighbor's windows at night would look great, and is actually in the movie. Glad it's present .

As for the plans, I wish they were bigger, would love to read the little details. Either way, cool to see.

I'm hoping that the spinner won't just be kid exclusive. If it's anything like Kang and Kodos, I'll be happy. I enjoy the occasional spinner. But I just hope it's not kid exclusive.

I can't imagine it being any different from Kang and Kudos. I think we'll all be just fine wanting to ride it.

I am amazed that nothing of T2 is left.  They even changed the ramp exit to the gift shop.  Wow!  Its nice to see the official layout.

Except the unique design of the show building, which is still visible The show building's "look" was a big part of T23D for me, just as it was for BTTF. At least for Minion Mayhem they went to greater lengths to disguise it compared to The Simpsons.

Our good friend HateToFly is tweeting right now about SSFL: the spinner will have 12 RVs and we will have themed water fountains.

Knowing USH, that sounds like that would be the name of the spinner.

Or perhaps Spinner: The Water Ride

Ride: The Ride 360-4K

In reality though, I think everyone is going to be happy with this ride "refurbishment" compared to Simpsons especially since it's definitely not going to leave a sour "this used to be T2 and I can still see it everywhere blah blah blah" taste in everyone's mouths. There is going to be so much life in this area of the park which is going to be so exciting.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I'm definitely excited as to what the area will do for the park. Much much needed experience, especially for families. And i love the movies, so it'll be fun. My only beef with this addition is that I feel that technologically it's a step backwards from T23D. If they placed this inside HoH/Globe or Shrek, I would've been thrilled. But considering it's a motion simulator replacing a badass 3D movie/stunt show, I'm more upset.

BUUUUUT....I'll enjoy it

Walls will be coming down next week Not sure if ride will be open but walls will be down

 

[Alexshow.]

probably not this week for ride opening but.. i'm betting next week as that'd work more

The ride will not be soft opening until early/mid-March, but I have heard indeed that walls could be down as early as next Monday.

I agree with Monday unfortunately as they waited for the Simpsons games until the weekday started when it looked like they were virtually complete the day of the photo update. I wanted to go the park this week to hopefully see the walls down but I suppose I'll settle for seeing the carnival games only.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Yeah, that's why I said I wasn't sure if the ride would be open, as I only got word that walls would be down for sure.

Always fun to see walls come down. It was great seeing the Simpsons games without the walls.

 

[Red Carpet]

They're holding an employee event with some special previews on February 27.

Are employee previews still planned for tomorrow?

 

[Jon Fu]

Yes.

A preview does not translate into an operational ride. They held a similar event for Transformers before the actual ride went into rehersals.
