    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    The crane was brought in sometime Tuesday, I'm guessing later in the day, possibly after closing but I'm not positive.

    Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

    Now I'm not saying a certain train located near SS44 recently took flight via crane, but that's exactly what happened. The Delorean is also MIA.

    Panoramic

    Got a few panoramas from various times and places that I thought I'd share: Animal Kingdom MK entrance MK from near the top of the Contemporary IOA

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I rode Rockit twice today, it's still pretty rough, especially when you go next door and compare it to Hulk and Dragons. One thing I noticed is that I couldn't get the hidden songs code screen to come up at all either time. I never had trouble bringing it up in the past so that surprised me...

    It's still got some better songs than the standard choices, in my opinion

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I did notice on the 27th that one of the cars had a couple seats with the lap bar covered that wasn't in use. Is there any possibility that having two rows with only one seat helped the single-rider line move along a little faster?

    Agreed, it was actually down for technical difficulties when I got to the park today, after trips on Mummy, MIB and the front row of Hulk, it was up and running.

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I finally made it onto HRRR today. The sign said it was a 90 minute wait, but it was more like an hour including time for technical difficulties. That was with three trains running. Incredible coaster that I need to ride again ASAP.

    Just read that Universal is declaring Rockit officially open. That was unexpected.

    I believe if you hold down the HRRR logo for 10.5 seconds exactly, the car will ride on the inside of the loop

    Favorite/Least Favorite Land

    I voted for Jurassic Park, mostly on atmosphere. Second, I'd probably put Lost Continent in it's pre-Potter state, then Marvel Superhero Island. Fourth would have to be Port of Entry because who doesn't love the smell of Cinnabons? Then Seuss Landing and finally, Toon Lagoon. Even SL and TL are...

    I thought that was just for the pre-grand opening fumigation :confused:

    Insulting people is a great way to get them to give you information!

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    What if someone's a little too busy this weekend to take advantage of the nice weather? Does the forecast look good at all for the coming week or is it still too soon to predict that sort of thing in Central Florida?

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    I'm going to take that as a yes because it's a funnier story that way.

    Is it true the banner was being held to the tower with zip ties?
  18. Mearn

    Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

    At least the banner seems to have worked as intended. There doesn't appear to be any structural damages to the ride itself. I'd still have to believe that if the loop banner had been in place its aerodynamic properties would have shifted the tornado south, possibly taking out Jimmy Neutron...

    If only they had put the loop banner up first :(
