The report and pictures are fantastic!! I'm guessing this might be answerered somewhere, but when will it be opening for the public? We'll be there in mid-July, so hopefully it will be running by then!

Great pics! Great write-up! We are going at the end of June, this will be a "must do" for us. Is there any chance of it being a FP ride?

Very nice pictures Kevin. Great job! Thanks for the report John. Wow, 60 min wait for a preview! That's amazing. I can't believe there were that many annual pass holders there. Good team effort on this report.

So is it supposed to be Africa hot this week too?

 

[UrsulasShadow]

I imagine it'll be Africa hot until it goes to surface of the sun hot all summer.

Thanks for the detailed pics, Kevin (for those of us who lack the mental capacity and imagination to have figured it out from previous descriptions!)

Excellent blog - my kids are very excited to see this ride. Is it going to have fastpass?

Thanks kevin... Can you tell me how much it is like Buzz's space ranger spin?!?

 

[WebmasterJohn]

To answer some questions:

1 - Yes, it will have fast pass as well as a single rider line
2 - Folks in wheelchairs and ECVs go through the regular queue until you get to the stairs - then you go off to the side through a series of ramps. We saw a wheelchair accessible vehicle
3 - We will have more pics soon - Kevin took a lot of pictures and Corey is working on getting the rest on the site in the photo gallery
4 - It is similar to Buzz Lightyear in that you are in a moving car and shooting at targets - the rest is completely different...
- It is NOT linear - the cars move through a 'maze' of target areas
- The cars spin and move from side-to-side between target areas
- All the targets (and ammo) are computer animated
5 - It is Africa Hot now, it will be hotter than Georgia Asphalt in a few weeks and then roughly the temperature of the surface of the Sun until September

Thanks Kevin and John. I was really hoping to get a sneak peak last week. No such luck! I'll have to wait til end of September.

Say, how hot will it be then? Last I remember, it was back to Georgia Asphalt Hot. Or is that Animal Kingdom hot?
