Orlando rides follow four phase opening
Wednesday, May 14, 2008 9:37 AM ET | contributed by Jeff

This spring's trio of openings -- Aquatica at SeaWorld's water park, Toy Story Mania at Disney's Hollywood Studios and the Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios -- provides a glimpse into the dress rehearsals required to launch a new ride. They come in a variety of levels from grand openings to limited previews, where select groups -- primarily park employees or annual passholders -- become early adapters of the attraction.

I would think becoming an early adopter would be cooler than an early adapter.

Aquatica didn't have a soft opening...

^IIRC, they did have a passholder preview day (or weekend?) for Aquatica. I was busy meeting up with friends at BGT/A though, so I didn't get there until a week later...
