A Space Mt. preview night?!?!)

YEAH! Great News.

On the really good side, this will make it MUCH better for us for our December visit... Not as crazy-crowded as it would have been if they were still looking at a November opening. Neat!

My guess is you'll see soft openings in early to mid June. The T/A crew will have a lot of work ahead of them in order to get everything up to pace. Besides, the new RO crew will need a longer than average period to get ready for the Summer crowds. There aren't too many old Space ROs left, most are either leads, managers or gone by now. Many old Space CMs I know don't even want to go back into the mountain. Space was a notoriously difficult attraction operate. The new CMs will need a lot of real operational practice to get up to snuff for the 50th crowds.

usually for such big rides they have an AP preview, also they have to give employees a chance to ride it. So i'm sure come begining of june reports will surface.

ORDDU: Well, this is just one more reason for your Cauldron girls to fly in all the way from Morva to make sure we're there, too!

ORGOCH: Speak fer yerself, sister! I'm only goin' if'n they can promise a fresh crop a FROGS off'n Tom Sawyer's Island!!

ORWEN: Well, fine! At least TWO out of three witches from Morva are sure to be there!! (Who needs a nasty old biddy with a lizard's tail hanging out of the corner of her foul mouth, anyway!)
