They havent . But it is rumored on some other sites to be June 23rdDid they announce an Official opening?
END OF MAY for us also!ahh we got late may/early june, come on soft opening LOL
END OF MAY for us also!
REALLY HOPING! This looks AWESOME! Can anyone explain "SOFT OPENING"? I would think that it means "test phase" before the official opening, but is a soft opening restricted to a certain part of the day? MUCH THANKS!
THANKS so much for the explanation! Really hoping for soft opening of Kong end of May!In general, you have it right. "Soft Openings" or "Technical Rehearsals" is often the final stage of "testings" before official opening. The ride has already passed all the safety tests. They use the openings for final tweaking of the show and training of the Team Members (Cast Members at Disney). Early soft opening is usually fairly erratic. It could be open for a few hours then closed the rest of the day or closed most of the day and open late in the evening. As the grand opening gets closer, it will probably be open longer and longer and on a more predictable schedule.
For Example, Harry Potter Hollywood is currently in Technical Rehearsal. The first day of Technical Rehearsal was Feb 12th. The had Technical Rehearsals the 12th-14th but it was closed all day on the 15th. Grand opening is April 7th, and now the land is open more than it's closed but I don't think it's opening with the park.
