The ride initially opened on the morning of April 15 for Cast Members and then soft-opened to guests in the afternoon.

We knew the Yeti animatronic wouldn’t be fixed, but we can confirm that she remains in B-mode with a strobe light shining on her (above is the Yeti shadow shown elsewhere in the ride).
