Hi,
I read that on june 26th-29th there will be soft openings for the new ratatuoille ride. So I've got a few questions about that.


How does such a soft opening proceed?
Do I get a special invitation? Or is it enough if i show my annual dream pass? I ask because i will go to dlp on june 22nd for six days and i will buy my pass when i get there...


Hope someone can help me :)


Thanks

as explained by others in various threads on this site, soft opening are not predictable and can not be planned. Soft openings are basically tests before the grand opening. Everything needs to be tested to make sure that what is perfect in theory actually works in a real situation. Just because they say the soft openings are happening on those dates  it doesn't mean that the ride will be open on those dates. It means that during those dates they will be testing when the park is open. You could stand all day outside the ride and it could remain closed or you could randomly walk past, and be lucky and see cast members letting people on.


Also just because you get lucky and manage to get on the ride, it doesn't mean that the ride will run perfectly or smoothly. You would have no idea what they are testing that day. You could be part of the emergency testing for example, where they fill the ride but don't run it and make everyone leave through emergency exits.


I really wouldn't get any hopes up about being able to get on the ride or even being able to have a proper experience of it during soft openings.

I have however read that there will be a shareholders even on the 27th and dream ap holders event on the 28th June - which of course is different to a soft opening :)


Normall you will receive an invitation and you will have to register online in advance (going on past openings of other rides)


However this is of course all still rumour till there is an official announcement :)

I hope they announce the dates of the AP and shareholder's previews soon....

So if the actual opening for share holders is around the 26th, does that mean there'll be a soft opening before it?
