Sorry for the deep cut, but had to.

Although the coasters structure and the adjacent glass structure are physically decoupled, dynamic loads from passing trains induce high frequency acoustic and structural microvibrations in the immediate vicinity. If the glazing support system was engineered for a strictly static environment lacking adequate dampening or the capacity to accommodate bending moments, these sympathetic vibrations will cause critical stress concentrations, leading to material fracture just as what you're seeing in this photo.

If this failure was caused by a localized, external physical impact, remediation requires only a simple panel replacement to resume normal operations. However, if the root cause is vibration induced fatigue(most likely) it indicates a systemic design flaw. Under these conditions, the structural integrity of the entire facade is compromised. The glass retaining supports must be comprehensively redesigned and retrofitted to absorb kinetic energy; otherwise, progressive failure of the remaining panels is highly probable over the structure's lifecycle. This may cause a delay on ride to address the issue unfortunately.

I’m guessing a simple failure of that one panel, likely due to a defect or other issue. I can’t imagine they didn’t engineer and plan the scream shields properly, that would be a crazy blunder.

So far at least, from what we were told today. That glass panel will have ZERO effect on the opening day announcement, expected later this week, although it may push back previews a bit.

At least for the media, they say this isn’t a big deal. I’m not sure if behind the scenes it’s something different.

I just checked in with the Minions. If I understand them correctly, and I think I do, they don't know when it will open either.

Jurassic World all over again.

If we do get softs at this point, they are going to be very limited before previews start. I would also expect softs to begin on July 4th and then shut down after 15 minutes LOL
