There was no rides for guests yesterday, but it looks like there will be some soft openings before next Friday. Once the staff is happy with the tests, looks like they can start operating it to the public.

The testing has been going well, but there are some issues, and certain folks need to sign off on the attraction before allowing guests to ride.

With great anticipation I had hoped I'd see passengers but there were none. The constructions boards were down, my eyes eagerly scanned the queue only adding to my adrenaline that I could possibly ride again and report in to the LP, but to no avail. I did NOT talk to any CM's about opening info--etc. I miss this ride!!
