I have no insider information but if they are opening in 3 months everything inside the rides are testing and complete.

My impression from what I’ve heard is that everything is done inside, it’s all just last minute finishing going on now.

I feel like This thing is ahead of schedule and they could open this thing in April if they really wanted too

It looks amazing. The only thing I’m noticing - at the current moment albeit - is the lack of shade…specifically in celestial. This looks like it’s going to be a hot park

I’m hoping they still bring in bigger trees or that the trees have a chance to grow. Otherwise the whole “putting the park back in theme park” line is going to look like BS.

It took Volcano Bay about a year for the greenery to grow and to pull off the "tropical island" vibes. I anticipate this to be the same.

Side note: I can’t wrap my head around the fact that VB is almost 10 years old…

Yeah, at least for a few years while those trees grow

Interesting to see construction walls up in the park-- proof it has really been "turned over" to operations, with construction projects and equipment behind walls and fences. Ready for "civilians" to be in the park any day now...

Hot take - I can’t stand this bandstand so far and I really hope some more finishing is on the way to give it more whimsy? Or something?

So far it really puts the city park in… park.

Just add in the electric pan flute or didgeridoo player and it will be fine.

Or maybe an electric metal harp trio doing a cover of Metallica's version of Gustav Holst's "Mars: The Bringer of War".

That, I would pay money for.

To us older folks, 8 years IS almost 10 years.
