I for one am very excited to see Europe In the Air. I've long been in the minority around here, but I love that ride. I was extremely disappointed to see it closed last year, so I'm very happy to know it will return.

Is it for sure returning?
Via a few reliable sources, we're basically 100% positive it's supposed to be open on Saturday
My son enjoys it so we did go on today but not without having to deal with the ride failing. Waited in line way longer than needed. Once we all sat down (ride was full) there was a malfunction of some kind so they had us all unbuckle and leave. We entered through the exit doors of the 2nd room to load back on there. People were pushing to get to the front and it was just a real cluster.
Road it twice today it was pretty full the first time and packed the second time. Not sure if this was the issue reported by others but the first time I know that the ride platform they were using seemed to have some malfunctioning seat belt indicators that were reading that the belts were not fasten when they were but that was limited to only a few seats.
I no I am in the minority on this but I am glad to see it back up there are some of us that are not huge Coaster junkies and it's nice to see that the park still has something for every one.

I took my girlfriend on this today for her first time right after the park opened, around 10:30. We were the only ones in line and we had to wait for some more people to show up. so we maybe had about a 3/4 full ride. So at least in the morning there were no issues, i actually had a really pleasant ride and my girlfriend loved the ride.

Were the screen images still super blurry in places? Only reason I ask is my wife has a medical condition that the blurry images mess with her vision temporarily. Any other ride she is fine on. Our kids enjoy the ride and she usually sits it out. If it's improved she would probably give it another shot.
^Didn't mean to mislead. I was being a little sarcastic with the comments "overhauled...and smooth as butter". As best I can tell, it is exactly the same as it was 9 months ago. I really did not get nauseous, though; and that is a first.
I'm so happy to know that EitA is back! I'm also glad to know that some others appreciate it too. i know I'm in the minority, but my family and I really do enjoy this ride, and it was frustrating to see it just sitting there last year.
I am glad it is back on too. It's one of the few rides my in-laws will ride (they are in their early 60s).
For those who do not like Europe in the Air, this may be some good news. From what I heard, the building the simulator is in is not in the best of conditions and will more than likely need to be replaced or extremely renovated within 10 years.
I rode today. It was a bad idea. Very rough, horrible camera movements. Not worth it.
We were in bay right going into the pre-boarding area and the entire pre-show shut down. They then moved us to bay left and we were able to ride. The operators had to apologize 2-3 times about the inconvenience. It's not really a problem, we still got to ride, just waited 2 minutes for them to figure out that it was more than flip a reset switch.
Anyways, not again.

Riding it today, I noticed it is much more rough and in the beginning and then throughout the ride it tends to feel smoother. It is really odd.
I found it was smoother towards the end as well but none of the movements actually match up with the camera movements. and then quickly it changes to a different area. But overall it was really bad and I regret riding it. Half the time I wasn't watching the screen and was looking around at all of the technical aspects. Has anyone else noticed how close you get to the projectors during the ride?
