Interesting the front nose is off. Maybe we have a bit more testing to do.

Bio has been pointing out lately that one of the train's has been without a front hood for at least a week.

I SAW those tweets and didn't put 1 + 1 together. So it seems the front hood of at least one vehicle is rubbing against the wheel assembly. Got it.
So any stats on the capacity of this thing. Probably has a lot fewer block sections than Hagrids so is this going to be a traditional 2 to 3 train operations? Has anyone seen number of trains on at one time?
Saw 3 train operations last Saturday (used the train without a front end as reference). I'm guessing that'll be the usual number, with 4 at maximum capacity.
Looks likr Amusment insider did some maths based on train observations:
48.8 seconds between trains
24 people per train
Approx 73 dispatches per hour
Theoretical capacity: 1752 PPH

I noticed the train without the hood and the trains with also have different colored wheels, so they may be testing different combinations of tires to adjust the speeds and too the hood off for easier/faster access.
That whole area will likely be used as extended queue due to social distancing while the ride is running, so I doubt anyone would be allowed to just walk up to the entrance or waterfront area for a long while, unless you're in line for the ride.

I think they mean "when will the walls be pushed back to the ride entrance".
I saw some of @RollermanDan photos and looks like a new wall is up in the courtyard, so maybe soon?

Unconfirmed but James got an email...
*edit*
I expect Veloci TM previews to start next week, probably late that week.

I'm not even an annual pass holder anymore, and I got the same email. Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to make it over from London.
Seems like those dates are real, but email maybe wasn’t meant to go out yet. Even those that get it when you click link it requires a code to sign up that is not supplied in email.
So far it seems so lol. And none of them active passmembers.

Yes which makes me believe they were to go out at a specific time but someone didn't set the time zones right.
