Thanks Claire-Bear! Now I don't have to manually change my signature everyday. I have my very own ticker!

I was one of the kids that checked to see if 'gullible' was removed from the dictionary.
Although, Google's one was pretty epic.
I feel stupid. :(

I checked the link on screamscape and when it went to the site all that was there was "photo not found in database". Was that an April Fools Day joke or was it the real deal? If it was real, can someone post the picture here? I would do it but I can't find the picture.

Ah! Looks like the Universal lawyers told them to take it down again. Guess they are more upset about this leaked pic than I thought.

I posted this in the spoilers thread, but know some of you are boycotting it...

Has anyone heard the greatest number of Kuka arms they have been able to cycle at one time so far?

Also, has anyone heard of a number they want to reach before starting soft ops, given all other elements of the attraction are ready also? I know the ultimate goal is 47, but was wondering if there was a lower threshold that they would deem acceptable to start soft ops.

Well yea it was open today and according to my cousin who is going to be working in the magic shop, he does close up magic and one of the shops in there wiill be for actual "muggle" magic. Anyways the ride was open for roughly an hour for a few select team members and the first reviews were the ride was absolutely incredible. There was no problems with any of the sets or pieces, the whomping willow is a mixture of both a physical and screen version of it according to my cousin. The dementor effect with the fog screen truly was one of the coolest things he has ever experienced. And most rumors are pretty true with what is included in the ride. The ride video is full high defnition of course and make you truly feel like you are apart of the action.

It seems that it is true about not being able to cycle all of the vehicles cause he told me they only have about half of them running at the same time right now, but he said besides some landscaping and a few little things here and there the entire land is ready to go and it shouldn't be a problem with having softs mid - April just like the rumors have been leaked out. When it comes to hiding the show building, they will be planting some trees, but nothing that will immediately cover it up, but from ground level he said its not so bad.

Thought I'd share some interesting info guys.

Hey guys,

I got to talk to someone, someone who gave me the impression of being well informed, but I promised not to say anything about it (it's honestly not much). So I'm not going to say anything about it. But pictures are worth a thousand words... :)

I mean, honestly, it's not much of a surprise. We speculated about such things ages ago on the old thread. It's just nice to know...

Well everything except the muggle magic store was, sorry couldn't help myself. Its my friends cousin actually too.

But it is true about mid-April softs, a few select people have ridden, but not him, and the landscaping thing is true as well.
