RRollergod Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 why and how could this be real i mean they had people riding it a few weeks ago and wouldn't the fiction against the wall mess up the speed of the ride?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 There could be structural issues -- I don't want to jump to conclusions -- its just that I haven't been informed or cast members haven't been told there are major delays (the ones I've talked to). Minor delays yes, but nothing to push back the opening date. Sorry -- he could be right, but not according to my sources, what I see there everyday.

Hattuchili Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I am sure Disney will do everything, that this coaster is okay at the opening! A few people said it: only rumors! --Sören Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I hope there will the "making of" movie of this coaster. This should be great . Discovery Channel will be airing a couple shows based around the ride when it gets closer to opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope they show construction footage, the whole process of design etc., problems they had with the coaster or challenges etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Eber Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 No official opening date yet. Some folks say earth day (america's that is). Expect technical rehearsals for a bit in mid february. Then it close down for a bit, then open back up a week or two before the grand opening -- I'm guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 So much design and testing goes into these rides before construction even starts that it's hard to believe there is much that hasn't been characterized. I'm sure all engineers involved are on top of it; it's not like Disney to just throw something up see what happens when you start it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Some folks say earth day (america's that is). That's what I'd read thru various 'zines and sites. Earth Day, April 22, is the anniversary of Animal Kingdom itself, so "the rumored plan" was for the Official Opening of EE to be around that date, which is a Saturday, next year. Just what I heard, m'self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dandaman Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Earth Day would seem like a good date to open it. ...or earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Eber Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Not much new -- the rocks are gone-- first batch of (non trainer position) of cast members are being trained. Part of the backstory is that the train was originally used for a tea hence the smell of tea when you cross over the bridge. Looks like they are running only 4 trains of the total 5. Fun, fun fun! Its the Healthy Fam- I - Ly! Both parents smoking. Programming the Fast Passes Perfect weather today -- nice clouds -- a 'matterhorn' shot. The Rocks were cleaned up. Shot of the Day -- Jazzy Accessory The tea smells great. Life preserver, nice touch Disney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cfc Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Now if we heard this news from the Dippin Dots guy, I would believe it. They know EVERYTHING! Except about what constitutes good ice cream. If this is the "ice cream of the future," I think I'll stick to Ben and Jerry's and Dairy Queen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 ^hey, dippin dots is good! In fact it's better than Ben and Jerry's becaus ethey never have Brownie Batter . I never really go to DQ, so I can't judge there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SharkTums Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 Yeah $1500 for two people isn't too bad for that! I mean heck, look at how much the Cedar Fair parks get for 'first ride' of some of their coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
