When will Flight of the Hippogriff and Dragon Challenge be open?

[ahoyle]

I am taking a trip the last week of April. Does anyone know if Flight of the Hippogriff will be closed, just not rethemed yet, or what? Same with Dragon Challenge. I hope both of these rides are open, even if not rethemed, but there doesnt seem to be any clear cut info out there.

Thanks for your help!

Until June 18th no one know for sure if the rides are open. If there are soft openings, then they will be open. However, soft openings are never announced.

Dueling Dragons is open right now for spring break crowds. No one knows if it will close down after spring break for final touches.

Is Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge not going to get a new paint job,I mean I was kind of hoping to see this coaster with a different look to it,if they keep the same colors it won't feel like they're retheming it.

That's what I thought but I've heard different things. I know the castle will be redone as well as the entrance but I would like to see different colors on the tracks too.
