Can someone do a post with the best YouTube videos each of every single major attraction (Tron, Buzz Lightyear, Peter Pan, Seven Dwarfs, Pirates, Soarin, Roaring Rapids)?

Visited during trial operations on June 3rd. Pirates for the Caribbean is fantastic! Here are my thoughts:

I don't think it is live. The article says that the program will be broadcast at 8pm June 16th. Since the article is from Orlando, I assume that it means 8pm ET, which would be 8am June 17th in China.

I am not talking about the 30min Disney Channel Special, i am wondering if there is also a big opening gala on TV, like they did for Hong Kong or Paris back in 1992 and if yes which Chinese national tv station it will be shown.

I hope for some channel like cctv, maybe i can watch via sattelite in germany then, i remember when hong kong disney opened i got the channel that aired the opening gala and watched live - so cool. Disney Channel Germany does not show the gala like in US - i hate that fact

That looks to me like they are still working on it's internal moving parts where you can see the flaps to eventually cover it over.... strange for it to be left open like that but, I guess, at least they are able to test the ride properly.

I can guarantee you that this was not open to all guests at Trial Operations and this was not to test anything more than the rafts and certain show elements. It was only operational to train Rapids employees.
