Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[kylethejoker]

I just saw the commercial for Universal Orlando, and they added a scene with the Optimus and Bumblebee characters, but it appeared that there was an actual Transformers: The Ride sign behind them like in Hollywood, I could be wrong because it was kind of fast but I think it was worth mentioning.

I think that would be ideal for for a meet and greet location.

:wave:

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.)

One of my last visits to the park I saw survey crew working around there... and they looked at that exact spot. Guess no one saw the photos :look:

I know how you feel, i'll be there on 19th April!! I doubt they will have a soft opening then

Oh well, atl east when i get back home i can watch it all unfold here

There was also a shot of Optimus in the ride (on a screen, obviously). Didn't notice the background of what you are talking about because what got my attention was the kid high fives Optimus. Unless something has changed in the week or two since I last saw the characters, we can't touch them, can we?

I don't think so, they make you stand in front of a caution line when you take a picture when them and the characters are probably 2 ft behind. At least as of Saturday.

 

[Ash]

They are pretty strict about that line.... I'm guessing no high fiving going on

 

[l-m-f-a-o]

I went Sunday & there were people pretty close to Optimus

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.

Definitely be good if this new project between mels and transformers is an area specifically for the meet and greet, as it would create more space for the flow of guest.

From OrlandoInformer, scaffolding at the entrance is down:

 

[Andrew.Co]

I think it looks awesome now like that, and can't wait to see how they paint it. Hopefully the sign for the entrance will blend in to the entrance however I do worry that the proportions need to be right otherwise the building could look too big for the sign.

To the left of monsters, looks like a queue to me.

 

[Shadow Carelli]

I bet you that an Autobot symbol will go up on the square section of the sign

 

[Andrew.Co]

By looking at the exterior queue I hope that it has a fence separating the queue and the path beside it, otherwise there may be a problem with queue jumping which is never good. If there is no fence I hope they have a staff monitoring the park guests.

It would be cool if they decorate with a lot of detailing the outside queue like how they did the outside queue for The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.

 

[Andrew.Co]

Yeah maybe they could do something to do with decepticons or something that is interactive with park guests like the fountain in lost continent .

 

[Swiminn6]

Yeah thats definitely a queue next to monsters. Hopefully they cover that! Looks like it will be a crazy long line if it has to reach out that far and would be awfully hot in the summer.

 

[knokout1]

Couldn't that also just be an overflow area?

 

[Bryan]

so monsters lost its patio for a queue?
