    When we were there in January there was still quite a lot of work to be done and the posters said it was due to open in Summer 2014.

    They are running the mine train without human testers at the moment. When they are happy they let staff try it as testers and then you get the soft opening followed by the official date.

    I would guess that they want it opened by Easter if at all possible.

    My guess is, they'll open it very close to the time Diagon Alley opens at Universal Studios - to try and steal a little political thunder.

    Both are due to open in Summer this year.

    They have been doing the tests with staff but not yet open to the public as far as I am aware.

    There was speculation in an Orlando blog that there may be a soft opening this weekend with the official opening not too far away.

    We are over in a couple of weeks but I expect the lines will be horrendous.

    The press event for this is on May 2nd and they normally have soft openings before that.

    Also they are shooting the new Soarin video over the next few days so will want to have this running.

    Apparently the official opening is 28th May. Bit late for us we come home on 23rd.

    If the official day is the 28th then there are certain to be plenty of soft open days before that.
