This is a roller coaster.

Yeeeeah, the age old "exposed steel coaster = bad" argument was tired before, but now it's dead

It is a work of art in twisted steel that really fits it's environment and promises to deliver an amazing ride. I think a trifecta will emerge where you can do Hulk, VC and Hagride after dark. What a night!

No, you don't understand, it needs to be in a warehouse that's mostly dark to be good

Ok lets take some bets!

When do you think the attrition will start TM previews?

When do you think guest previews start?

When do you think the "official" opening will be (as defined by Universal marketing as either a set date or the day the wording switches to "now open")?

Here's mine.

TM Previews: April 6-9th

Guest Previews: April 9th

Official Opening: May 19th

Place your bets! I will be updating a master list of dates, @ tag me with your guesses.

 

[highdefrex]

lets see how many upset parents there will be cause their little kids who like dinos will not be able to ride

How the tables turn. Now they’ll know what it’s like for those of us adults who like dinos but can’t ride Pteranodon Flyers because we don’t have little kids.

I’ll take May 31, Memorial Day as the grand opening date, (cause I’ll be out of town on the 19th!!!)

I'm tagging ya; @Joe.

TM Previews: March 18th, March 19th, March 20th, March 25th, & March 26th

Guest Previews: March 26th--May 9th

Official Opening: May 15th.

I think they're going to do long stretches of previews, with the majority taking place on the weekend for both TM Previews and Guest Previews. I am betting they want to make sure the ride is absolutely ready; with no faults or issues on Opening Day.

Guest previews will be the same day as @Drew gets married. Think of the wedding photos though.

Have we heard anything about the queue? Will it have show scenes or animatronics or anything like that?

Lobby with more statues, window into launch 2, Raptor stables, and load overlooking paddock.
