Since it has been drained again it will also make it easier to add a few more props that had not been installed yet within the lagoon. The gates holding back the water from going into the caves have been removed. The attraction will most likely be filled by the end of the month to begin testing thruout the attraction. The attraction is on schedule to open june 11 but will see passengers way before that

Originally Posted By bean It might even be sooner then your birthday. notice how the last few new attractions have benn opneing much earlier than the official date. Monsters Inc. Opened for the Christmas season Buzz lightyear opened way before its official May 5th opening date the seas with Nemo opened several months before the official date. There are rumors of the subs seeing passengers for test and adjust as early april.

Originally Posted By dresswhites in regards to the post about Princess Fantasy Faire, in my humble opinion it is not as bad as i thought it would be. LIke others i was fearing the worse, but they actually did a nice job. it is nicely theme and children seem to enjoy it. it is always very busy when i walk by. i want to see a show again in that space in the future, bur for right now it is an ok use for the space.

At one point .. right immediately against the Autopia side where the station is ... is where that huge plumbing is. And as of today (Feb 20th) ... it's still a huge mess that is NOWHERE's ready to be filled back in with dirt, and replant planters. It's the huge monster pipe. That was cut into one or two pieces laying on the side. Looks like original 1958 plumbing, from the rust spots. Could be wrong. Runs about 5 feet below ground level. And looks like the have a temporary pipe that still runs underground .. but just above the old pipe. Needless to say ... Plenty work still needs to be done. Not to say they can't do it overnight. But just from what I saw ....there's one big hole in the ground that needs plenty work done.

Didn't stop from acting like DL is like some Pentagon operation. Really cracks me up. Accidents happen. From little companies to giant sized companies. So the pipe broke,and part of TL flooded. Big deal! It's getting fixed .. end of story.
