Not even close, they have a ton of work to do even after filling the lagoon... |

They haave a pretty good idea what the programming will be, but there's bound to be a technical problem or two with the 1200 jets and fancy lights.
Right now, I believe they are trying to get the show open in March or April. |

As mentioned above, there is a LOT of Test and Adjust that needs to be done, and if they need to fix something major, it will be a lot harder to do, as more than likely they will need to use scuba divers. |

I heard it's being designed so it won't need scuba divers. I guess if the lifting mechanism breaks, though... |

After a point they will test the pumps to empty the lagoon.
They will then fill it up some more and do more testing.
Don't expect it to fill quickly. |
