I'm pretty sure the platforms at 17:00 minutes are diving boards. /s

I don't think so. My guess is they are the bases for a walkway that would connect the two. OR additional frames for extra rock work to help theme up the back of the volcano. I recall a balcony being in the concept art so it could be either as far as I know. Someone I'm sure can clarify.

Oh Oh OH !! ORRRR they could be employee access only platforms for nightly show elements. Firework launch points etc.

There's always soft openings if you're lucky.

They could have moved the date up. I'd imagine they'll make those tickets valid if you have one.

That's pretty much what I will have to hope for. There is almost guaranteed to be soft openings/technical rehearsals but its whether non-hotel guests etc get in on them. I may plead to Universal's better nature as my parents are pass holders but no interest whatsoever in water parks....

Whatever it is, it seems fragile enough to be something unique..

Atleast, if it isn't a Pin.

Is that the one that got a boo-boo? I guess it was patched?

I'm going to be at the resort with my family on the weekend of May 6th but I can change that to the weekend before the official grand opening. I was wondering if softs do happen, would it be better for me to change my plans to go the weekend before the grand opening or should I keep my reservations as is? I didn't knowif they may stop any soft opening from going on the weekend before to get ready for the media preview? I don't remember what they have done in the past and was wondering if anyone new. I know that softs might not even happen at all if they get behind but if any experts on here knew how they worked in the past it would me much apprechiated advise.
