Okay, here's my video from the other day, when I finally caught a glimpse of a vehicle test. It was marked as R/V #3 by the way. So maybe they are testing each vehicle individually day by day. I also got video of the food stand almost ready for guests. My guess is most of the construction walls will come down and the stands will open long before the ride actually does. And I saw crew hanging hair-like things on stakes and painting/weather-proofing the bamboo that had been covered in plastic near the entrance for so long. Check out the video and a few screenshots below and lots more here.

Notice the black hair tied around the stakes?

Flowing in the wind, creepily.

Here's a worker grabbing a handful of it from a pile of hair on the ground.

Can't wait to see this place properly lit up at night!

00409.MTS_.Still051.jpg

You think they're gonna make an attempt to hide these things in the mouth?

00409.MTS_.Still049.jpg

I assume they're LEDs? Look awkward just laying in there.

00409.MTS_.Still052.jpg

Lots of spots brought in everywhere.

Not so subtle speaker

Roots and cave-like rockwork visible inside opening where RVs come out after load

Soon.

That's all for now. More images here!

Rumor has it Disney tried to rescue Snow White by sending in the Guardians of the Galaxy. But the Guardians said they weren't contractually obligated to fight against Universal, so they refused direct orders from Disney Executives, and then deserted their home base in the Tower of Terror. . :lol:

Apparently, one of the bats are supposed to be spotted in the "horizon line". I can't see anything.

I would think it will be open by the end of June, at full capacity or not.

All major theme parks have delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked.

Yeah, but John, if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.

So aggravated Myth Explorer didn't drop the next episode this week. I think it's been 2 weeks since the last? Maybe the skipped out due to all the Hollywood Wizarding World attention.
