Still looks to me like 2016 is the right bet!
Roads/parking, drainage, inside fit-outs, furnishings, arguing over lease rights, etc. Lots of work to do yet and opening still looks several weeks or months away.

OK, I updated the list. If you see 2 or more names they are in order of when their guess was received. Remember, that I specified choosing a Monday so if the guess was after a Monday I put it under the Monday of that week.

We still have some (now) good looking dates open for first time players!

Had a look at the buildings today and the structures themselves would appear to be complete or almost complete. But of course that is just the buildings. Nothing inside them like stoves fridges etc and of course that is a big project in itself. They were laying down some fill in the parking area out back which almost looks like they are going to pave it. Wonders never cease. They have also built quite a few little stands for vendors in the rear.

We walked down there today, and I meant to go back after lunch and take pictures, but didn't get out of the lounger once my tummy was full. All of the exteriors are complete, including paint, and they are installing sun sails for shade in front of each unit. The units are closed, so you can't really see what the progress is inside.

Sounds encouraging
Next issue will be the license lottery
Can't believe the licenses have not been given, but guessing if they had then the news would be out. So maybe no license agreements until some sort of official handover? That way the officials get that day in the sun and then another day in the news announcing the new licensee's
If that is the case it will be like a last minute gold rush race to get open

Ok, now we will go for 1/4/16 since we can see progress!

The fencing came down two days ago with some touchup painting of the shops plus a coat going onto the small ticket selling booths.

Yesterday morning there was a three cornered tent up on one of the platforms in front of each shop.

However, instead of two corners on poles with the third anchored at ground level, all three corners were anchored to poles leaving a nice pocket in the center to collect dozens of gallons of rainwater!

Since there was a brief shower overnight, the problem was obvious!
Today the fly was down but who knows if the correct design is part of the plan.

There are anchors for poles at probably all platforms!

You already had 12/14 already. Didn't think you could pick another but I may be mistaken.

Can we just choose another date if the one we chose has already passed? I did not think we could do that, but perhaps the rules have changed. My chosen date has passed too.

Yes, gotaluvit said you could only pick a date now if you haven't picked before, and I THINK they were going to stop accepting any new guesses around today. It's all for fun, anyway--not like someone might win a free trip! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Devil.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

OK, we are all closed up with only one week in April open so someone is likely to win. I did specify only one guess per poster, sorry. Here is the final list with the winner getting a free (maybe 2 now) drink at the Perch ($10) to be delivered via a mystery hat hung in the bar.

Now the challenge is to get these things up and running!
