This is such good news, if they're opening it to all park guests late in the day I can potentially see it opening fully over the weekend, potentially saturday. At the end of the day, they wouldn't be opening it to all park guests if they weren't ready. I'm guessing they opened it so late due to staff training with guests. Would I be correct in saying?

Still don't get why people say "on park".

Anyway...

It was open for an hour yesterday so I wouldn't expect anything major as it is nothing different to what we have seen before. They still had to sign NDAs and they were told the attraction is still not complete. Will be interesting to see what happens today and this weekend.

Edit. Open from 11am today for tech rehearsals. Exciting.

It is also believed the attraction will be open over the weekend for the same reason.

It should be noted with these only being technical rehearsals the entire attraction may not be in operation and so if you are riding over these days you may not experience the whole attraction.

It was pretty good. Could've been better but I really enjoyed it.

Just for clarification, are guests still being required to sign NDAs or have they stopped this now given the number of people?

I do t believe guests are being asked to sign NDAs anymore, seeing as the volume of riders has significantly increased, this is just speculation on my part though.

Didn't have to sign an NDA. I'd give it a 6/10 :)
