My money is on March 20 for the official opening.

The reason I think so?

Universal Orlando's annual passes have listed 2010 blackout dates during all the traditional Orlando peak season blackout dates, same as 2009 - Spring Break, Christmas-New Year, and peak of summer (July)... But in 2010, unlike in 2009, March 20 is ALSO blacked out, all by its lonesome. Not Sunday the 21st, just that Saturday, then no blackout dates again until the following week which is the usual Spring Break blackout period. For no. apparent. reason.

Why? Seems suspicious.

I'm no Ravenclaw, but it seems to me the Slytherin thing to do* would be to black out all the 'lower level' passes on the grand opening day for WWOHP, just to cut down on the crowds where they can and because they know the truly rabid fans ~~like me~~ would BUY a pass that day just to go to the Opening anyway (the top-tier annual passes do not HAVE blackout dates).

Just sayin'.

*saves the date, just in case*

*Good marketing people are, by and large, Slytherins. No question about that.

They just might do a soft open. I remember I went to the soft open of the park back when they first opened IoA.

I'll have to talk to my sources about that date. I'm currently still working on getting my annual pass for the new year. I have every intention to get the top-tier pass since I don't like blackout dates and what not. Plus as of late, i have been more inclined to going to Universal than to Disney. I know once I find out the date of the opening I'll have to request the time off to go play since I haven't been back to that park since my only visit there during the soft open. I'll probably be one of those rabid fans there as well.
