IJ:ST technical rehearsals

I didn't see this posted here yet, and I found it interesting. According to a different coaster site, PKI is opening the Italian Job starting this Friday, and it will be open every weekend until the grand opening on May 20th. Here is the news...

(4/25/05) The official word from PKI is that Italian Job will open on April 29th for a private Gold Season Pass event, and then open to all park guests on April 30th for technical rehearsal runs that will continue every weekend through May 15th. The grand opening of the ride has been set for May 20th.

I for one, can't wait to try it out this Friday! I bet the lines will be long, but considering it is Gold Pass only, it won't be as bad as Saturday or Sunday.

Yeah, but how many season pass holders don't have a gold pass? Didn't they give them away, or practically give them away, last fall? Friday night season pass previews have typically been packed during past seasons. With a new attraction, I would expect this season's to be the same.
