I know where I'll be tomorrow (and the next day and next day until it opens.)

From bioreconstrict. Pic of Fallon with walls down. I'm guessing that large box has something to do with return tickets and what not

So, looks like typical Universal strategy of stepping on a Disney announcement.

Wait, people watch the parade?

I think there is a Mardi Gras one every night right now and personally, I found it to be the best parade I have seen in a long time!

Holy crap, this thing is gonna soft open next week, isn't it?

Why do I have a strange feeling that they may intend on wanting it to be open for friday..

Probably just as Disneyhead told us. ...Right on, Dave. :thumbsup:

Well besides Rivers of Light... but that's an entirely different attraction.

Except only theme park geeks care about TM soft openings. I think Disney wins this round.

Now THAT is Universal stepping on Disney's toes.

Disney must've gotten the memo seeing they decided to debut RoL tonight

Well... I must say the show was pretty good, It's definitely the highlight of the nighttime additions to AK .

I know it's because of scheduling with Fallon and all, but this sounds like it could've opened much earlier then April 6th.

You've gotta understand how capital projects work; a project manager can plan and forecast as best as they can but until the last few months out nothing is final. I think it's just as easy this ended up having a last minute issue and only opens one theater on April 6th than it is to have softs in February. Remember the Despicable Me hydraulics leak fiasco?
