Originally Posted By Hista98 I don't think they will open for a while, several of the problems can't be fixed, one of the biggest is the cabins are too hot, and there is no way to cool them down, and they can't change the way the windows work without rebuilding them, granted the city won't let them rebuild them(the window design either

What a complete fiasco!!
