Looks like our own Mike S. accurately predicted the "Official Opening" date. Congrats Mike (Insider for a day status)....eace: :thumbsup: Note: Didn't see any of those high priced bloggers get it right.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIKE S!!!! I've been waiting to say that since you first brought up the prediction lol.
But yeah it's officially open now, I wouldn't expect that big of a reaction either it was 5 in the friggin morning after all. Liked the ceremony, does fix plot holes for sure. Whatever though this awesome ride is now open, very happy right now

Thank you

Oh wow, the Today show is pretty cheesy, isn't it?

Well, they are playing to a broad swath of Americans. Al is goofy yet it gives his colleagues something to wince at and that makes it funny... most of the time. Family funny.

I guess it is not my cup of tea. Both me and my husband think it is pretty awful.

The inaccuracies about Universal are interesting. Like the spell they did does NOT trigger the effect they showed, DM doesn't have Child Swap it has front row non-motion viewing which is the example they used for child swap, and oh, their app sucks, they shouldn't advertise it.

That ceremony would definitely make a great pre-show video. Or even just an audio recording of something similar as a lead in to the witches room.

Agreed. It was a good opening and gave some background to the ride.

 

[Wanderer72]

Where do you get that giant cannoli thing?

 

[Mr. EPCOT]

And Al asked the "crowd" of AP holders how excited they were all to ride it, and their reaction was that of a wet noodle. Of course, they already have.

Yeah, the crowd seems pretty weak.

I guess they should have let TMs in first.

 

[Viator]

...NOW, it is officially open.

Yup. We are badly missing a formal introduction to Eighth Wonder and Kate.

...especially Kate.

(also mannnn I'm still annoyed we don't know who composed the musical score)

I thought Jayson said "Vivo'" at CitiWalk, but I could have heard him wrong.

Yeah, I thought so too, but the whole thing was so rushed I had a heard time hearing all of his words.

I was like, we have a minute to talk about all the food in Uni... GO!

Following on this, the app isn't showing wait times. Confused as if it's opened or not

 

[sparky]

At 12:05 PM (TP): Reign of Kong 75 minutes, Forbidden Journey 45 minutes....parks look crowded per line wait times

The only hotel with rooms open is Cabana Bay. That is where all your people are coming from. Could it be people are there for the opening tomorrow? Staff of the Today Show? I don't see them putting up Today Show staff in the budget hotel.

They probably held rooms back for them. A few of the times that we were at Portofino, they would have the Club area reserved for Execs, when there was something big going on.

The ride is now in the app!

Finally! :clap::clap::clap:

What I learned on Twitter today is that Universal is racist because the witch is black.
