They probably won't know it's a theatre, just hey, new building.

Nice pics Jon! I'm glad someone has an easy way of getting over there to take pics. I'd go but I'm just too lazy to go that far for minimal progress. Maybe I'll venture down that way one day when some more substantial progress gets going. Keep up the great work Jon! :D
This is where I would usually put stuff. Can't think of anything right now... =/

Word has it that it will not be open on Opening Day. The opening has been delayed and is expected to open around May 17th.

I figured that it might not open by opening day because when you really think about it,this is their first ride of this type, they would have a lot of things to get correct by opening day like getting everything installed and synced correctly, proper maintenance/employee training and ride testing.

I'd rather them take until the 17th and take the time they need to get it right rather than rush to do it and it opens up on opening day and its nothing but problems that causes it to shut down and we end up with another ride that is down all the time. Either way, i'll look forward to it when it does finally open......

I'm sure that they're fine, but those TDK cars seem pretty plastic-like...

I received the passes when i got my season passes. Is there a special date set when TDK is going to open? The pass also gives me a extra coasters after dark. Oh and early entry into HH for 1 day.

^ when did you order you Season Pass? I ordered 6 of them and did not get anything except my season pass. I ordered them one at a time starting in November (one per pay period, which is every two weeks).

^ Not really. All that means is the ride will open on or before May 21st. Exclusive does not mean first, it just means no one else can ride it at that particular time.

As it gets closer and closer to April 26, it's becoming easier for me to believe that. They're really going to have to work hard.

If those photos are recent, I wouldn't expect TDK to open before Memorial Day.
