I swear to god if they let any guest ride it today.....

Theres no way thats happening. Universal said themselves they arent opening it up until it completly finished. I'm just stand-bying until I get official word of anykind of opening .

^^haha yeah I just got the text about an hour ago.

^^It's not ugly. It just looks different compared to the other brands. When we read this coaster was going to be a first of its kind, theres a red flag right there. We need to understand these "first of its kind" rollercoasters need more time then just another B&M hyper or Eurofighter or something like that(Personally i wouldnt have minded any of those^^). On the contrary, I don't feel bad for Universal and their choice for this rollercoaster. They are missing out completly on summer crowds, but they really can't do anything about it now.

Well we are all used to delays by now .

Seriously, thats enough rick rolled.

It's all coming together (finally ). One thing I saw and wondered about is are they done with landscaping. And everything in the station? We have to remember Universal likes to open rides when they are completly done. I still stand on saying soft opening around July 1-5 and Grand Opening around July 10-15? -I would like to know how many tpr forum members will pass out when someone says the rings are completed .

I think they could do this during construction, I dont think they would wait till the last minute to train members.

Idk when we can expect it, I mean, it just depends on those rings. We dont really know how long it will take them. I'm guessing a soft openning July 3rd but thats my prediction.

^^^^ Lets hope this is true.

I dont want a half-assed rollercoaster either, but I mean the rings on the lift are the only thing left. One main reason was Maurer Söhne and their delays on the lift twice. But this rollercoaster should be better than another B&M hyper which I have no problem with. It's not Universals fault at all I think, its just more on the coaster manufactuer. ^^Yeah they are all doing well in the economic times. But Orlando is like the perfect place for theme parks. I don't see Universal struggling much in the next couple of years. They make plenty of money with 50$ tickets lol.

Uhg. I'm getting tired of waiting on Universal and getting tired of their delays. I think I'm just going to go somewhere else for summer vacation lolz.

This better be open by early july or at least soft openings ^^^^. But I honestly don't think it should take that much longer like I'd give it one week with putting the rings up and another week with testing and one last one for double checking things.

Haha i wish. ^^ Again I have all the time in the world for this ride so I can wait. (Acually I'm dying to ride it this second). -Anyways whats the real definition of a soft opening i never knew what I meant?

Haha yeah over 3,000 feet is just a small miscalculation from 167 feet . I'm playing it safe(and since I live an hour away with season passes) and going July 5th. But does anyone know for a fact that July 3rd is the opening date? If not, its looking close for completion, and Universal by now should have an opening date on their website and announcing it, doesnt anyone think so? I think its a little bit odd they havent by now because Universal is usaully pretty good about this kind of stuff.

Anything new?

That went up fast. Thats a great thing too. Hopefully the rumor is true that they are actually on schedule.

Haha ^^^

150 pages over arguing over the construction of this ride!

Did i just get Rick-Rolld on Theme Park Review?! Jesus, its not safe anywhere!!!

Most likely to add the rings. (Or the heartline roll) ^^It's back baby! But why would they remove TRACK to add rings? Took forever to get those pieces on pleaseeeee don't take them off!!!

^^^^^^^Lets hope thats a rumor. -The ride itself looks great, reasonably long layout. Whens those rings around the lift going up? Forgive me if it has been said I havent browsed this topic recently. Also, does anyone know what they are for? Or just for show?

Does anyone else think the stairs of the catwalk on the brake section look a little funky? But then again, it just might be me

-Is this an official date?

Anything new?
