El Toro Open for April 1st?

I didn't mean to come off rude but last year everyone had a source on when KK would open and such and most of them were wrong so people started to get angry and rumors would fly around. Just didn't want anything happening like that this offseason.

If they can have it testing by March 15 then yes. This is just my guess but I think that should give enough time.

It won't be open by Opening Day! Construction has been painfully slow and as the temperatures & snow fall it will only get slower! Maybe the ride will be completed by opening day but remember it still has to be tested and we saw how long that can take with Kingda Ka.....

Like I said, I can't answer when it will be done because nobody knows that right now.  However, I can say with 100% accuracy that construction is right on schedule.  It may be painfully slow for us to watch but its going up according to schedule.  This came right from Richard Beane's mouth while he was standing right in front of me.

Everybody wants to see big hills and turns erected already.  This ride isn't built that way.  The bents are being assembled ahead of time on the ground and will be erected one after another when they are ready to do so.  All footers exect for RT's infield are also done.

I personally have no idea if it will be ready or not.  I'm just trying to be positive about it and go with what i currently know.

btw- its nice to see somebody else pick opening day LOL  now I'm not the only one!

Yeah, well my dad is Al Roker and he said its gonna snow, and my mom is the director of maintence at a shipyard in Europe and said their really slow right now.  

If GADV says construction is on schedule, then its on schedule.  They don't plan things to open late, and they probably factor in weather as well, so I can see them making the deadline.

I agree with wade.

Here's another crazy thought. What if E.T. isn't finished yet by opening day. Do they still open the path to get to Rolling Thunder? Or wait,  and open that whole section when it is completed?

Worst case scenario is Would they want to run Rolling Thunder while the Frame work is still going up in the Infield.

With all that said , it should be open before taxes are due.

anyway, i doubt highly if they are gounna open anything near ET if its not opened.. to much of an insurance/injury risk...
