Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[Sleepyhollowstudios]

HTF, have you heard of any plans to do a big rig style show for the opening? Any theatrics with cars at all?

I would love that! The opening of Transformers in Hollywood was as good as any stunt show I've ever seen. So much could be done with the surrounding New York facades, as well as the lagoon, in terms of stunts.

Negative but I'll check around :thumbs:

 

[THORPID]

The press release........

That's a great media photo. I like that it caught the NEST logo in the Supply Vault just at the right angle.

By the way, in terms of music being played outside, here is a list of what I think I heard outside of the Transformers building, and the music is at a great volume so you can hear it all around the building making it seem very cool!

The next two I am unsure of but they sounded very similar and had the same basic theme

Those last two I definitely heard last week.. Exciting times for those of us that have been around long enough to have seen Murder She Wrote here in this same spot. I'll admit I thought the characters would be a bit bigger (considering scale), but they do look awesome and I can't wait to see them in person :thumbs:

 

[kylethejoker]

They do look bigger in person, they are nine feet tall!

I believe he was saying that they don't appear movie sized. Hopefully, the anticipated building topper will counter that.

 

[insanepizzaguy]

I think this may have been asked already, but does anyone here know what the entrance to this will look like? Will it have 2-D figures of Transformers like the one in Hollywood or will it be different compared to that?

 

[Cwoolboy]

We know that there will be a full-sized three-dimensional Optimus standing atop the entrance to the ride (not a cut-out). I imagine the building will look essentially like it does now, maybe a few more minor details added......there could be more I suppose, but my gut is saying no. I guess we'll see.

I actually have most of the songs you posted on my ITouch, just missing 2: NEST, and Seduction/Escaping Alice.

 

[kylethejoker]

I know they are not actually movie sized but neither are the Minions or The Lorax, I was just saying they are very cool in person and look great. And NEST is a great song, I added all of them to my Universal Studios playlist on my iPhone. :dance:

 

[Shadow Carelli]

Yeah if they were life size, then Optimus Prime would be at least 50 feet tall and Bumblebee would be 30 feet tall

 

[Shockwave]

Optimus in the movies is 28 feet tall. Bumblebee, depending on which links you click on google, is between 16 and 18 feet tall. Megatron, is 34 feet tall.

wrong thread.

Don't know if this was already posted, by OPTN posted a TF update and some awesome close-ups of Bumblebee. http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2013/03/universal-studios-invasion-of.html

Thanks! Interesting to see the fabric collar in the neck area and the bony knees of the actor. The bend at the elbow must be controlled by hands in the upper arm.

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

In some of the pics, to me it looked like Bumbllebees head was especially small for his body.

Btw you can see the Leaky Cauldron start to go up in Potter :thumbs:
