^ Actually, Bri got it then... a few posts up. Thanks though!
Magistra so you have a few reasonable guarantees now.
A. There will be no softs on June 17, 18, 19.
B. There is a good chance you might get in sometime after June 6. But it isn't guaranteed.

No. GO is June 18,19, or 20 with 20 holding the most votes. I thought it would be the 18th a month ago... but hey, they have a lot of press to feed this time around. This is a big deal.

Turns out I had my dates wrong and I'll be there from the 6th-8th. Should be an interesting trip.
Now that's the attitude to have.

Walls coming down May 17th? Seems like a lot of cleanup to be done
Edit: Sorry, per @ThemeParkInsite Not sure if there is any credibility.

From the photos today they are sweeping and the front area looks all but done. Seems reasonable the walls could come down anytime.
And where did they get the date May 17th from I wonder...might've just pulled it out of their ars

I posted this in the other thread, but I would guess softs start two weeks from now, probably in the middle of the week. Training for TMs starts this Monday and goes through this Friday, and training protocol at Universal is typically 3 days. Considering different TMs are scheduled throughout next week up through Friday, I would assume instead of having them complete training andjust sit around doing nothing, they'd have them practice via TM previews and softs immediately afterward.
If they do softs before June 7th... then it will be very very limited... 200-500 at a time and stop and monitor every venue. Then let in another slog only if there are no major issues. That must be the most exciting time for employees.
