I wouldn't count on that. Opening is summer 2013, and March is right at the beginning of spring. Although it would be nice, it's not gonna happen. They wouldn't soft open a ride 3-4 months before its planned opening date.
Just because they said it will open summer doesnt mean that they have to stick with that announcement no matter what. I think most would agree that they calculated what would be the worst case scenario with all potential problems, delays, tehcnical issues, weather problems, etc. & came up with date of when they knew for sure AT THE LATSEST that they knew they could open it by, versus basing it on if there were no problems, delays & what not & knew it could be possible it could open spring, as what if they announced it for spring, but due to unforseen problems, couldnt open it until summer, youd have alot of pissed off people, so they came up with the summer opening date to make sure they covered themselves. But if there ahead of schedule, which it appears they are, theres no reason why they shouldnt open it & start pulling in more crowds early.
& I'm still sticking with my prediction of exterior work being done by March 3rd with softs in the middle to late March.
