Buzz Lightyear Attraction

[jillrobinson]

Now that we've booked I was just wondering if anyone knows when the new ride is scheduled to open. It would be great if it was open when we're there but I'm guessing it's likely to be later.

What a shame we'll just miss it, but an ideal reason for planning the subsequent trip.

I'd forgotten about Buzz
Hopefully those who are going later in the year will be able to give us a construction progress report

Do they do soft openings at DLP like they do at WDW??

I seem to recall they did this with Space Mountain

Well well well

Fingers crossed for February then

Does anyone know if this is an exact copy of the WDW version or is it an improved one (like most of the attractions are at DLP in comparison with WDW IMO)

Excuse my ignorance but what is a "soft opening" ?

 

[diberry]

A "soft" opening is where they let people on the rides before the official opening date - sometimes weeks in advance.
I believe the new Buzz ride in California is slightly different from the one at WDW so maybe the DLP one will also have a few improvements - not that there's anything wrong with the WDW one - it's great - we love it!!!

I went to the soft opening of Magic Mountain at Disneyland in California, one week before it "officially" opened. The week before, we spoke to a cast member who said he was able to ride it, as it was open to cast members.

I've told the boys that it won't be open when we're there, which was disappointing but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed and wish really hard.

Tower of Terror: 2008

Scott says he won't go back to DLP with me until this opens. That's a long way off! At least I've got at least 2 WDW trips before then!

Can't wait to do Buzz again in October, it's one of my fave attractions!
