Fantasy of Flight, Act 2, opening pushed to January 2015

From Kermit Week’s via Facebook:

The fire suppression guys start tomorrow and unfortunately I’ve got some bad news for those that wanted to visit the “Museum” before the end of the year. They are a week behind schedule and won’t be done until mid-December . . . which means we would not be able to open until Friday, December 19th. Since so many of us will be off for the Holidays . . . it looks like we will not open now until Friday, January 9th.

Sorry about that. We’ll open when we open. — at Fantasy of Flight.
