Oh, well. They should have had the foresight to know that nothing is a guarantee. I won't be getting to Phantasialand until June but if I get there and Taron is still not open, I'll just go and have a hell of a time in the rest of that incredible park. Kinda like I'd do at Dollywood. Just because one ride, anticipated it may be, is closed doesn't mean you're completely shafted. Had people made big travel plans and Dollywood announced today that they've sold to Six Flags and they've taken the liberty of one-training every coaster and putting skeleton crew ops into play, there'd be cause for headaches. As it stands, quit being such babies. You're missing the point here. If they had announced when they actually knew two weeks ago, that would of given guests ample time to cancel hotel reservations and even sell plane tickets for those that live farther away. Some of us attend on very special days such as when Dolly comes, not just to be the first to ride a new ride. You must make plenty of money at your job and have a flexible unlimited vacation times since you apparently see no wrong here.

Sadly, they've known a long time now it would not be opening this weekend. In her press conference last week, Dolly stated it would open "later in the month." Then the show schedule was published a few days later and it was not a normal schedule for when Dolly is there. I know things happen but to wait until this close to opening to announce it when they knew at least two weeks ago just doesn't sit well with me. This has caused a lot of headache for many people with travel plans, hotel reservations (too late to get a refund now), days off work, etc. when it could of been avoided.
