(What time period is Sunset Blvd in MGM supposed to be set, just for reference?)

As for the ride itself... is fun like DCA's and as soon as I get home after the 17th, I will post a report and have about 100 pics, of which I will choose the best ones and post them as well.

I can hardly see any fault with what they did with this brand new E-Ticket in Paris... By the way: my family and I spent Tuesday at the park and for the first time ever, it was a true all day experience with all kinds of different entertainment. (Crush, Rock, Cinémagique, ToT...) We had a great time at WDS!

Right now, the "Tower" is primarily open for previews with invited guets, e.g. Annual Passport holders, travel industry partners, sponsors etc. - once these previews have finished for the day, there is a good *chance* that the attraction might open for the general public as a *soft opening*. Which means that they still filter guests at the entrance of La Terrasse (for the previews with invitations) and that's why some of the fences are still up, blocking the regular attraction's entrance. The official opening date is still January 2nd with regular operations beginning December 22nd. (My guess is they don't want to advertise the ride as open and attracting even more people during the already insanely busy Christmas week...) The press event will be held from April 4th to 6th.
