Falcon's Fury Opening Date

[Doc Bouvier]

Hello all. I am planning a trip to BGT sometime between late March and mid April.
I really want to ride Falcons Fury, but every search I do on an "opening date" just says, "spring".
Lets kick it around a bit. When do you guys think, given the current state of construction, the pressure of Seven Dwarfs and Harry Potter, will it really open? Spring break (March)….April , May??? Any input would be much appreciated.

The default opening date for any new attraction is typically Memorial Day weekend as its the kickoff to summer. Since construction is moving along pretty quickly, I can see the ride soft opening in April at the earliest, but that chance isn't likely.

Both Seven Dwarfs and Gringotts are supposed to open in summer, so I'd recommend visiting after peak summer or before Christmas break when crowds are lower.

Rumored target date is somewhere between Easter weekend (April 19-20) and Memorial Day weekend. The park will only say Spring 2014 because at this point they don't know for sure if there will be any issues during the testing phase.

Cool, thanks guys. Hey another quick one, if I may….I think I'm going to come down in late March or the first week of April. Any thoughts on weather, and also, is there much of a difference in crowd level between a Thursday or Friday at that time?

Fridays in general are usually a bit busier with school trips.
