Instead of the fire ceiling effect, they just spray us with cryogenic liquid now.

I heard late July for what it's worth.

We’ll be there July 27-August 1 so I hope it’s open by then. This is my daughter’s first time going where she’s going to on the bigger, scarier rides and not just the Hippogriff 10,000 times.
I don’t think the track got replaced. The ride system/control computer/sensors did though.

So does this mean the timing will finally be fixed?

I'm not sure what "that site' is, but July would be cool. Does the Universal Monsters store seem to be popular? I'm curious to see if they'll try to relocate that once Saharah Traders reopens.
Unfortunately it doesn’t. It’s just too hidden and out of the way.
The same issue as the tribute stores, nobody knows what it is until they (if they do) go inside.
I hope they plus the exit shop ... could be like a mini Egypt Pavilion with food / drink and some educational displays.
Or at least a cool coffee vending machine, ha.

It feels like the budget for the tribute stores have gone down for this latest batch. I usually love the stores, but wasn't very impressed with the Mardi Gras one and a warehouse theme is very...bare bones.
Mardi Gras in general was very bizarre this year, the Tribute Store was certainly a reflection
I imagine the budget was split between the two shops for this spring season. The warehouse and monsters themes are definitely budget, considering how many props are reused in each. Half the decor in MG is metal scaffolding, plastic totes, and reused Tribute Store props "for the nostalgia", while Monsters' have statues and props dating back to the 2019 stores/house.
I would prefer they switch the "tribute store" for a themed lounge/cafe/photo op place. It makes sense for HHN to have a dedicated space since they can fit various themes/IPs into each room, but Mardi Gras is somewhat the same theme each year.

I think more themed cafe/food spots is a better option. They can create a more open space and focus on the ambiance, while still making (likely more) money off of food and drinks. Is better for Instagram too.
