Our TM friend just messaged us to say the ride was reopening tomorrow.

No way I would have let that happened if I was the CEO of Universal. If the CASE isn't closed and there is NO closure for the families affected, that ride should STAY closed. Until the case is closed, I am BOYCOTTING Universal parks.

State Department did an investigation, independent engineers did investigation, coaster company was involved as well as Universal. I imagine they would not open unless all parties have concluded the ride is safe and operating properly.

Universal says they are updating procedures, adding more signage and Orlando Sentinel says "rules" have changed that a guest must be able to walk on ride.

I don't think it will change anything regarding a lawsuit, that will go on. That "lawsuit" case will be ongoing but it sounds like engineering wise all parties have given a green light to reopen. Guests need to make a decision if they can handle it. We sent DS#2 on to test drive it, and he said it was not a ride that DS#1 or I needed to risk riding.
