Assigned to Icarus Exhibits of Orlando, the permit is for "Fabrication and Installation of Show Set Items." The permit has a longer than usual expiration date, and is December 3, 2024. Thanks to danlb_2000 on the WDWMAGIC Forums for locating the permits.

Icarus has recently performed similar work at TRON Lightcycle Run and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind.

Later this summer we expect to see a tiara-topped water tower added to the mountain, one of the most significant changes on the exterior.

Annual Passholders can still participate in the soft opening preview for the 1pm drops if they book any other theme park. It's still wide open

There are several people on FB who claim they were able to book reservations for all 5 days. Reservations closed fast so it’s amazing people can do that. And typical Disney, they couldn’t think of a way to get all AP’s a chance to participate in the soft opening.

You won’t like this answer. ☹️ The info says you have to have a reservation for a Disney Resort made on your membership - so a points stay, cash booking through Member Services, or using points to stay at a non DVC resort. But you can only book for the number of guests on your reservation as of May 12th. So it’s too late to book in order to register for the previews. You have to have been booked by the end of Sunday night.

They may have been TOO aggressive with the animation on this one. Leave SOME of the actual salt dome!

This looks like one of those magazine covers you could get at Pleasure Island in the early 90’s.

Anecdotally, people I visit with avoided Splash late because they didn't want to get wet when there was no sun to dry them off. Edited by mod - So people might not want to get wet on TBA after sundown. I don't want your post to be reported as OT. ;)

My hope is that it goes standby every night after 9pm or so.

You don’t think that’s just because all lines shorten at 9 pm?

You say this, but if history is to be believed for any and all water rides in central Florida, they still drop in demand after the sun goes down. It has less to do with the temperature, and more with the fact that the sun dries out your clothes. People don’t want to ride home (or watch the fireworks) soggy.

Just FYI, boarding procedures, opening dates, etc all fall under the latest details and construction progress part of the thread title. So discussing how guests can access this ride is OK.

Doesn't the ride shut down for weather/lightning? VQ is the "chance" to ride if/when your boarding is called. With weather they could 'by chance' not get to all the boarding groups; and that's the chance you take when you book it and may be more expected/outlined. If you booked a timeslot and weather shuts it down it would be treated different, possibly with one of those "anytime" fast passes, but possibly not even for TBA. I'm sure it would have some kind of stipulation just like VQ would; but I think people treat the "but I booked a specific time" a lil differently than waiting for their number to be called (Hopefully that makes sense, I couldn't think how to word it well)

Fair enough. And looks as if, with the lack of ILL, everybody is going to be playing the G+ and/or VQ 7am button dance each morning, at least until things settle down.
