Different things at different parks, but usally at some point (maybe 20 -25 minutes?) before the official park opening they let you through the ticket gate and into a staging area. For example, at MK, they let you into the open space in front of the Train Station. You still cannot go through the arches and onto Main Street. Then about 10 minutes before park opening there is a bit of a show. MK's is the best - characters & CMs ride in on the train, get out and sing and dance. They do a countdown and officially declare the park open. A family is randomly selected from the crowd to take part too, to represent all guests. CMs who are actually standing at rope barricades at the train station drop the rope and pull them aside, and you can go through the arches and into the park. Thus, rope drop.
Sounds fun!!
