Oh, watched Techs dry run Alien Swirling Saucers for a while. I think they're close.
I am more excited about Alien Swirling Saucers than I am about Slinky Dog Dash!

It’s somewhat like the teacups but you don’t control them. It’s hard to explain. It whips you around but only every 15 seconds or so. The ride isn’t long or particularly thrilling but it’s not super boring either. I wouldn’t wait more than 15 minutes for it though.I am more excited about Alien Swirling Saucers than I am about Slinky Dog Dash!
I know this ain't your first rodeo, so I'd love to hear your thoughts re: readiness? I'm sure they're moving mountains to make sure June 30 is a go. That said, knowing they worked out a LOT of kinks over the near month's worth of soft openings for Pandora, should ride issues be expected since they won't have that guest safety net for TSL? Or are the rides simple enough by comparison to FOP and NRJ that it's not an issue?Oh, watched Techs dry run Alien Swirling Saucers for a while. I think they're close.
You'll have no problem with the seats. They'll be no squeezing required. They're nothing like 7DMT.I can barely fit in 7DMT, so I might not fit at all in SDD. They squeezed me into 7DMT once with another large person.
Ready or not, it will absolutely open on the 30th. There was a plant wall lining the pathway to SDD, but you could hear and see lots of activity through the bushes. Will everything be operational?........... It will be operational enough.I know this ain't your first rodeo, so I'd love to hear your thoughts re: readiness?
Yes they are and you can sense it.I'm sure they're moving mountains to make sure June 30 is a go.
While they won't have the number of Guests that Pandora had, it should be enough. SDD is ready, so it's just the Swirling Saucers ride that has to be made operational and tested. We know that two of the three attractions will be open.That said, knowing they worked out a LOT of kinks over the near month's worth of soft openings for Pandora, should ride issues be expected since they won't have that guest safety net for TSL?
None of today's elite amusement park rides are simple, but as the Swirling Saucers ride is similar to the Mater ride at DL, there is some experience with the basic ride vehicle system. And like any new machinery, it must have been operational and tested before it was shipped to WDW. I'm optimistic.Or are the rides simple enough by comparison to FOP and NRJ that it's not an issue?
Pretty basic, lots to look at.Any inside scoop in the queue of slinky? Hoping to hear something like seven dwarfs or Peter pan’s playful queues.
CMs are being invited to register to attend a Toy Story Land Dress Rehearsal on June 21-27. This is not the current SDD test and adjust that is only available to CMs and one CM guest. CMs are also able to bring three non CM guests. I guess this could be called a soft opening of sorts.
I register for all the opportunities and have never won. And we're going way back.My daughter and I will be there those days if you are looking for a friend.

Is it supposed to be random, or is it "managers pick their favorites"?I register for all the opportunities and have never won. And we're going way back.

Similar? Its an exact copy with a different theme and a roof.None of today's elite amusement park rides are simple, but as the Swirling Saucers ride is similar to the Mater ride at DL, there is some experience with the basic ride vehicle system.

I hadn't considered FL's "special" climate until now - how do you think AS2 will handle our super-fun horizontal monsoon rain?The major difference between the two is the climate, the rain and humidity adds a whole new layer to maintaining the ride. I am hoping it will be ready for riders by next week so we can try it out. How was the ride on the second half of SDD for you?
