Nice straw man argument, refuting my simple metaphor and expanding it with your knowledge of distinct ride systems.Kong and Hulk are completely apples and oranges. Consider Mako which, yes has far less effects than new hulk, is still a brand new B&M coaster that started cycling shortly before Hulk and is now in softs. Kong is a brand new, never seen before ride system, RVs, finicky wifi, creepy AAs etc that obviously is a lot more complex than a rebuilt sit down roller coaster with a spinning tire launch.
I really don't think anyone is saying the sky is falling at all or that anyone is expecting the ride to open tomorrow when only dummies have cycled. It has just been minimal information so there really isn't that much else to talk about. The coaster is cycling which is great news. I would say most people probably saw the initially advertised summer 2016 and expected it to be open for their June-July vacations rather than this labor day date you're mentioning. If only we all had the insight you had
All I'm going to say in reply to your comment is that clearly major construction is still happening, and has continued happening, since the coaster started cycling. It's not like that equipment is just going to disappear overnight and the ride will be ready. If "late summer" isn't good enough for you, maybe you shouldn't plan your vacation on a ride opening when it's clearly still under construction. Poor planning is on the guest's end, not Universal. This isn't a situation like Rivers of Light where a solid date was announced then pushed back, although I have a feeling that's what you're trying to present it as.
