Isn’t the Grand Opening just a party to which the media is invited?

I don't want to be a party pooper, but should that link be allowed in these forums? We all know that it's out there. Heck, I've watched it myself. However, in years past this forum wouldn't allow things like that to be posted because taking the video was a violation of park safety rules.
I know this site isn't sanctioned or affiliated with SDC, but I believe we have always tried to do things to maintain good relations with the folks at the City.
I agree. I removed the link. I've always typically enforced this, but we don't have many stated rules around here. It makes sense not to post any POVs that break park rules. I haven't been to the city yet this year, but I imagine they have plenty of warnings about not recording on the ride, similar to the old FITH.
Sorry everyone for the post! I didn't know that was a rule, but understand the reasoning.
The minimum height to ride has now been confirmed as 36” and not 39” as originally announced.
Has there been any rumors of projection in the ride? This about digital displays from the press release seemed like new info; "The coaster is housed in a five-story, climate-controlled building and features 14 immersive scenes with state-of-the-art technology, including onboard audio and enhanced digital displays."
I guess I did kind of assume that there would be projection in it after they posted about filming for the final scene of the ride where all of the townspeople are celebrating.
There will also be commemorative "First Recruit" stickers given out.

I assumed that it would be Food & Flower to align with Dollywood.
Someone posted a walkthrough of the old FITH with the lights on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yMXX_xnOnFs
^ Something themed to the 1880s Ozarks instead of flying scooters though
I honestly do not get the whole Chick Fil A deal. I have eaten there a few times and it is OK but not something I would flock to like it seems people do.
Haha.."flock to"...
I'm not a big fan of their food, but I don't hate it either. It's fairly expensive - but I've never had a bad experience there, the drive thru (even with long lines) moves fast and efficient. So, I think most people are there because of that? My preference on fast food chicken is KFC or Popeye's because I can get potatoes and gravy...I love dipping my chicken into gravy...my kids however hate Popeye's so I have to eat that alone.
Maybe if they connect the new FITH to GE they will do away with those awful dance parties. One can hope!
