Thanks for the blog Kathy! I can't wait to ride it in December!.

Thanks for taking one for the team Kathy!

I love cyberspace mountain but hardly make it over to DQ anymore. This will be a great alternative.

Perhaps we can have a pre-DATW coaster build-off challenge? How fun would that be?

Ok Annette, you know the drill, you suggest it you have to plan it. That does sound fun though.

Kathy, I have a question. You said it gets chummy in the simulator. Is it Pooh Size unfriendly? Is it hard to get into?

Thanks,
Kim

 

[safetymom]

Kim you would have no problems fitting. It's not hard to get into the seats.

I don't know why I can't seem to post comments on the blog page but that sounds really cool, I can't believe I walked right past this two weeks ago.

I'll have to check it out when I go back for DAP.

Don't feel bad. Today was the grand opening.

this looks like so much fun! and not too scary (i am a bit of a rollercoaster wimp too Kathy )

Another great blog, Kathy! I would only ride this if they had a walking trail option!!

Hi Kathy and thanks for the blog on this! We are heading down this week-end and will be in the parks all of next week and hope to do this. Some questions--

--Is it fully open yet or just soft opening?
--Does it really only allow for 2 people at a time? Sounds like that would mean LONG lines? What do you anticipate for wait times?
--Any mention of fastpass for this?

Thanks again!

 

[safetymom]

It is fully open. It opened officially today.
I waited about 20-25 mins today. It's going to get worse once the word gets out about this attraction.
No fastpasses.
They take in groups of 16 or so at a time. If you had 4 in your group they would ride 2 at a time and then the other 2.

Robin, do you know what day you'll be coming in and going home yet?

Thanks for the info, Kathy. I can't imagine what the lines are gonna look like for this thing. I'll probably never get a chance to ride it.

 

[catycatcat4]

cool blog it looks awesome

I cant belive they only put one arm in the lines will be crazy

 

[SamSam]

Wow! I just showed your blog to Mike and he can't wait to try it. We're going to go over to Epcot this afternoon, hopefully the line won't be too long.
Thanks for the great blog.

I am sitting with Ros in the Beach Club Solarium. She told me that I must do this!

 

[safetymom]

Yes you must!

I fit in the seat just fine. Yes, only two at a time, and you can only see your ride companion on video screen. My design had several seconds of "air time" was lots of fun. Thanks for the heads up Kathy!
