Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

I mean c'mon Universal, those military coverings would work well here!

This is what I'm talking about

I agree... and I am sure it may have been discussed. Currently, that is heat stroke waiting to happen.

When I saw the overflow queue had no roof and 4-10" fans, I !!!!!!!

Geez they went a little crazy on the amount of fake doors on the sides of the building

^ Green is Universal. All new attractions are likely to not have any real fire effects. Mummy was the last.

The fire effects aren't green, cost a significant amount to run, have caused reliability issues in the past, and most importantly make the safety people very uncomfortable.

A bit late in the game, but Universal filed something with SFWMD for a building related to Project 609 to be located between Mel's and Shrek (where the Transformers characters currently get ready for m&g's.)

I've heard quite a bit of talk about a new structure for a changing room for them (instead of the tent they have now) that would go in that exact location. Who knows, it could have been expanded to also enclose the M&G as well.

They won't even let you stand 20 ft off to the side of the fence. I understand protecting the costumes and actors but it seems a little excessive.

It's excessive because the actors can't see well. So they want to be able to do the poses without hitting the guest standing in front of them.

God I hope the switchbacks get covering or that will be hell in July.

Yea.... about that.

Remember that a lot of Spidey's extended queue is not covered. Only the loading docks.

Also all of the HPFJ Forest and Garden queue is uncovered.

Not saying its a good idea, but its not inconsistent.

Exactly

If you are referring to the roll-up doors in the photo of the queue, those two are real.

Overall, the entire overflow queue looks very out of place and odd. I think its the trees that really throw me off. And the fact that the overflow queue isn't walled off, but just out in the open. Maybe its just the trees.

Yes it looks like a literal holding pen to heard the sheep

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Unless it gets walled up, I see serious potential for park guests to line jump. Not me, I hate it when people line jump.

And that is what I said... that the fire effects aren't green. I can clarify it by saying that the fossil fuel Natural Gas/Propane fire effects aren't green if that makes you happy. My point was, there will be no more Natural Gas/Propane fire effects. Not sure how you misread my statements.

Covered and "shaded" are two different things. Most of those are still in the shade. This is literally right in the middle of a concrete wasteland.

It'll be early morning or night or nothing for me.

 

[drumset333]

I wonder once this opens if hotel guests will be able to get early access to it like they can for harry potter and the forbiden journey.

Most likely, and even when it soft opens it might have early addmission. I went on Despicable Me during softs, and it was open for early addmission when USF offered early addmission.

 

[Capacity]

I'm prarying they put up a wall but it doesn't look like they will. Both for line jumping and theming.

 

[l-m-f-a-o]

Haha the out door queue does look weird because how distance it looks from the building or its because its just strictly random lol

Looks deathly. i like.

 

[Shadow Carelli]

The least they could do is put up some metal fences that are 8 feet high or so with a little barbed wire and some "KEEP OUT" "NEST FACILITIES" "AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY" signs on the fence.

 

[lazyboy97o]

I would expect the exterior queue to mimic the one at Universal Studios Hollywood which even has its own videos.

 

[Capacity]

I love shadows idea. It wont be anything extravagant. Look at how close the queue is to the curb.

 

[knokout1]

I wish they would have done something like Shrek. The queue is very visible in Shrek, but still looks distanced and is well shaded.
