[Vyrus]

I haven't worked all morning yet,

 

[honeybee8200]

Oh you mean we are actually suppose to do something productive?!

 

[HPotterWizard]

That picture isnt from today, I'm just lying in bed watching this all unfold and I thought I'd put a suggestion out there.

From that spot I could zoom in and see the inside of Honeydukes too.

 

[Vyrus]

I'm suppose to make money for the company?! Whaaaaa?! BLASPHEMY

 

[hummingbird]

OMG talk about prepared, lol. What our updaters have said so far is sounding kind of promising though. If they do open it up today, I'll feel much better about my trip next week.

lol I cant help it. Not only are we potterholics, but we are ride enthusiast also (we base our vactions around rides and resturants not actual "places") and on top of that I'm an accountant/fincial anylst. SO my life revolves around list and orginization lol.

omg. lol im so excited I can't even type/spell today. I meant Financial Analyst

 

[Hatetofly]

Ok music and fans just turned on in the greenhouse. Note its the big fans not the ceiling type fans

--- Update ---

Possible bad news there are gardeners working the extended queue of fj

 

[BTT_Racheal]

Someone asked a couple pages back who was there on Twitter?

As far as I know, here's a list of who will be there today who will be tweeting from IOA.

Wednesday (May 26):
Morning- @HyContrastKid @ghostrider455 @kcardin09
Afternoon- @kcardin09 @ghostrider455
Evening- @FLallday- (possible); @ghostrider455

Dragons Challenge has a fiber optic sign too? Looks like Universal is going with fiber optics since FJ has one too.

 

[rhino4evr]

My vote is that you dress up as a gardener and try to sneak into FJ, Scooby-Doo style.

This is making me crazy. I want to take m kid out of school and bring him down, but it's a one-shot deal for us. I have only 3 comp tix. One for each, me, spouse and kid. So if I go and it's not open, not only am I promoting truancy, I'm blowing my one chance to see it until I get a job again and make enough to buy tix!
UO is a big tease. :doh:

 

[rhino4evr]

Luna...I would jsut wait for the grand opening then..don't waste your tickets if you aren't "For sure" the ride will be open. 3 Tickets to Universal is like $250 bucks!!!

If it's gonna be a oneshot deal for oyu, I would highly suggest not even attempting a soft. Not to be a debbie downer but I've seen softs happen where they will open things up for a hour or 2 and then close them. Even one time I saw a "soft" happen and they counted off 50 people through the entrance and then turned everyone else away saying all they need was just a test group right now.

 

[honeybee8200]

I agree, I wouldn't chance going down if it isn't a for sure thing.

 

[ohhelloarthur]

if it soft opens today, apparently fj will not be open.. something i just heard. dont quote me bc idk if its definite

 

[rhino4evr]

the only people that should be down at the park waiting for softs are folks with annual passes and no job, or a job in the theme park press. Taking your children out of school and rushing to see if Potter will be open seems like a little rabid. Relax..we are only 3 weeks away from the official opening. You have been waiting for 3 years..oyu can wait another 3 weeks!!

From @Ghostrider455:

power tools can be heard from the dueling dragon queue line. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

Dragons challenge fiber optic signs are uncovered and turned on and the potter music is playing. [HASHTAG]#potterwatch[/HASHTAG]

 

[Vyrus]

^Agreed Rhino, don't waste the tix for a possibility, go when you know you can waste your whole day waiting in line for FJ.

 

[rhino4evr]

I find it strange that they havent told anyone "No Softs" today like they usually do. Are there a lot of people waiting out front?

 

[ohhelloarthur]

agreed

 

[cronixx]

From @Ghostrider455:

OMG dude, your profile picture...
Tobias Funke (Arrested Development) anyone?

 

[Stippy]

I'll be there on Friday as I have no Job, no life and an annual pass!!
