went today and no new updates except LCD TVs were being put up in the queue and the entrance by Blue Man Group was getting its finishing touches. Saw crew members with brightly colored red yellow and black splattered shirts by jaws learning the ropes on how to run a ride. Thats about it though for today.
seriously or are you kidding lol
i bet sooo many people on this forum will jump through your screen and attack you if youre joking lol (about the rings)
^ that sounds more reasonable.
my sister-in-law works there and said they don't have a set date for any openings anymore because of all the delays =[ hopefully it will open soon though
btw don't know if anybody has visited this site yet, but its the Media site for updates on the ride check it out, it looks almost just like the official site, but its a tad bit different=]

^ if the rings are on site, then they should get up pretty quick, I mean the lift hill only took about 2-3 days to get back up =] hopefully they'll start testing sometime soon.
I was soo excited to see the tracks coming back up!! ^-^ thanx 4 the pics! Unfortunately, construction stopped on the lift hill between 4 and 6 today =[
we talked with Universal Employees and thats what they told us so idk =[
cant wait for it to open though =]
hey lol random but you joined on my birthday ^-^
well im sorry, never blogged before, just wanted to help. I've been checking almost everyday and hadn't heard of anything about this until I went today, so i thought it would be important
WAS ALMOST FINISHED!!! They took down the lift hill after testing in May. Maybe too steep, or problems with the chain. I recall hearing loud noises on it during testing. idk. Soft opening set for June 20 possibly, grand opening 4th of July weekend? maybe not confirmed.
