    As said, it did open on Sunday (soft opening). We have just come back from a day at Universal and it was open with a 2 hour queue. Looks great. We didn't bother queuing for it as we'll wait until it's open properly then we can use our Express passes (as it's in soft-opening mode they do not allow Annual / Express passes).

    Universal Studios website now states ride as "NOW OPEN"

    It also has its own microsite where you can preview different angle videos
    and also hear the music tracks you can pick on the ride.
    Ride looks great, can't wait [clap]

    Definitely fully open now.

    We were there last night for a walk around.

    Rode it yesterday morning. Opens at 10 am in the morning and we were there at park opening . Let in to park at about 8.45 and went straight to ride. They opened it about 9.45 as queue was so long and hot. We were about 50th in queue so rode quickly. Great ride. Vertical climb is really weird. You feel like you are going to fall out ( well I did and so did the kids). No choice of music yet but music blasts out. Long ride too so had good time. Wait was 2 hrs for rest of day as far as we could see.
    Attendant said it would be 10am every morning. Be sure to leave stuff in locker elsewhere or with someone else as we were queuing outside and people had to go to lockers inside to leave stuff and lost place in queue.
    Enjoy everyone it was worth it but not as good as Manta ride in Seaworld which is according to my kids the best rollercoaster they have EVER been on.

    Just curious, what's a soft opening? We're going on 26th October so hopefully it will be fully operational by then?

    Soft openings are where they open up the ride before an official opening date.It allows the park time to resolve any issues before open day.
