Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

^ 50 lbs total for both legs. So 75 lbs overall. I don't think there is much walking involved with playing a transformer... they just stop and stand for photo-ops.

What location will they use for putting on those outfits? I would think it would be in a building inside the park and not way backstage. Someone on here can answer that one. I hope he lets me know...

007

^ Ahh... that makes sense. Thanks.

BTW... did they have to clear space (a dining room) inside monsters for that? It doesn't appear they rebuilt the smaller building.

Thanks for the great shots! :thumbs:

^ Thanks! Love the new marble style texturing. Looks like someone wacked one of the columns with their genie lift.

More Road Work on Mel's side

I haven't seen the space but I believe it absorbed a small private dining room not used for general public. At any rate, capacity for the restaurant was not affected.

Geek alert!

I'm trying to visualize what that "door" would look like if those were actual hydraulic lifters and the "door" was closed. I don't think it makes sense, and that bothers me.

I'm surprised the excess caution stripe paper hasn't been trimmed yet.

Some of the work on the joints was of very poor quality. I'm sure they had to redo it.

Hooray for the game!!!

Was the crane still up?

Don't see any cranes, just a bunch of boom lifts.

Man, they just started working on the New York side 2 days ago and it looks to be close to done, that's insane!

You're not alone.

You're not alone.

As soon as I saw those, I too was trying to figure what it would look like. Seems like they didn't think people would notice...

I can easily tell they're blast doors and I really don't understand the issue you guys are having with them. Rotate it 90 degrees and it fits really well.

I am still having a hard time believing, even with how large this building is, that it holds a gift shop, a que, and an e-ticket attraction that lasts 4 minutes. It doesn't seem like all of that should be able to fit in there, but it does.

 

[Teebin]

How many scenes are on the first floor again? Is it only the beginning and the end?

I was wondering the same, as alot of people here say that it is supposed to be a copy of USH, but the USH one doesnt have the gift shop built into the show buiding, its in a seperate building, not to mention the ride entrance is in the middle of the front side of the building whereas it appears our entrance will be in a corner, but yeah, it is unbelieveable that they are able to squeeze all that into 1 building.

Teebs, scene 1 and 2 are downstairs with scene 3 being the lift. Scenes 4-10 are upstairs with 11 being the lift. Scene 12 the final screen is back downstairs and 13 the one with a static Megatron is last before the unload.
