With the platinum riders riding in March, I can’t see it soft opening earlier, outside of promotional material for commercials, but that doesn’t count obviously.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to see a soft opening still. When we get actual preview and opening date it'll be a lot easier to predict, but don't count out the possibility yet.
There’s a non described Mardi Gras member bonus event in late January, so you never know.
Yeah, it's just hard to gauge how they want to handle this. As it is, it feels like they're going to need to do some HEAVY communication on the day of any kind of Platinum preview that only a certain membership level will be able to ride. Because once people see people on the ride, how do you keep them out? And won't they be frustrated?
That said, all of this becomes a bit easier when the park will be confronting this in early March when most visitors are probably local.
Maybe belt off area around the bridge? “Present a current platinum membership and ticket to the special event to gain access” and signs saying “Member exclusive, Join today”!
We will have to go to a kiosk to get a voucher. But the kiosks will be broken and we will have to go to guest services. And only about 75% of us will randomly be able to get a replacement voucher from guest services. Meanwhile, at Pantheon, the beleaguered and untrained ride ops will be letting anyone in, who shows any kind of pass.
It's almost like the person running their social media accounts had Microsoft Office listed under special skills.

I don't see the problem, the social media team is literally just responding as straightforward as they can... They didn't have any say over the company deciding to announce multiple opening days. What would have been a better response?
Something that I'm surprised no one has brought up is how Annual Passholders only have to visit the park twice between now and October 31, 2021, to be granted entry to the Passport to Thrills Celebration in March. It seems rather odd to have fewer hoops to jump through for a dying pass breed compared to the far newer membership program.
I'm assuming this is because Annual Passholders have historically been blocked out for Christmas Town, so it would make sense to have a shorter time frame with fewer required visits to make it semi-fair.
As a Passholder, it is becoming exceptionally rare to be included in any sort of exclusive event at the park so it was shocking to see that this now archaic pass is still included in this "exclusive" event on the website. Many of these events have blurred the line between "passes" and "memberships" with unclear wording so it's rather refreshing to see the park address this issue that is usually ignored several months before the actual event takes place.

The post mentioned they had limited quantities. Why wouldn’t they simply order enough for every member?
Because not even a tiny fraction of members will actually redeem them. The financial viability of rewards like this rely on most people not getting them in fact. They're meant to add value to memberships on paper.
Personally I have no interest in a lanyard. I've got dozens. Never use them. Have no need for more.
That lanyard has more theming than the entire coaster does... Like seriously, why did they put the 5 gods on the lanyard yet there is zero part of the attraction that actually represents/displays them beyond a cartoon concept art picture?
Not that this means anything, but here you go...
