Transformers: The Ride - Summer 2013

[LHZY]

I have my doubts in a way, because it doesn't seem like they would open the very first softs to huge Memorial day weekend crowds. It seems like it would make more sense, if they have waited this long, to wait until Tuesday when the crowds die back down for a few days before school gets out.

School is out for me tomorrow.

I've got a question. For the opening of Transformers, will the fourm be getting a new look, like what they are doing for Antartica??????

Hard Rock Orlando just posted on Twitter
"@HardRockOrlando: BREAKING: Our participation in the Today Show this Thursday has been cancelled. Womp womp."

 

[WadeWilson]

Was the "womp womp" really necessary? Either way, I'm guessing Uni lets everyone come regardless, it'd be too much of a hassle to call it off now, IMO at least.

People will be riding tomorrow, that shouldn't include guests. Team member previews should follow shortly.

I can back this up. Assuming there isn't a last minute technical hiccup, people (NOT front-line TMs or guests) will be on the ride tomorrow.

Then who?

Then who?

The rest of the team members of the resort. Front line TMs would be the opening crew for the ride.

 

[Evac167]

Ill be there saturday to see if guests can get on. The way things are going its looking good.

It won't just be team members riding - some third parties, too.

If you built an all new attraction at your park who would you want to give the first honor of riding it that wasn't regular guest or the crew running the ride?

I'd say the crew who built the ride

I don't know anything about how Transformers is going to go down, but with Rockit and Forbidden it was the opening team first, then TM Preview, then soft opening. None of those previews are a guarantee or confirmed, nor am I saying that will be the case with TF. The only thing confirmed is that it will open June 20th.

You said it, I cant wait for all this waiting for it to open drama to be over with so we can start writing reviews, & most importantly, have a new ride to ride! & I cant wait to see what all of the fans as well as all the haters have to say about the ride!

Yay, and then we can move onto Potter opening drama!

 

[Themeparkvigilante]

Yay, and then we can move onto Potter opening drama!

I admit that once TF opens, I wont be as anxious for Potter, I'll be too busy riding Transformers! It will be awesome once it opens, it will still be fun getting photos of all the progress, & it will be nice to have the new TF ride to help hold us over, especially the mega Potter fans.

Universal updated their Facebook about a half hour ago.

The TODAY Show has made adjustments to its programming in response to events in Oklahoma and will now be broadcasting a limited portion of its show live from Universal Orlando Resort on Thursday, May 23rd. If you were one of the 1,000 who RSVP'ed you will be receiving an email soon with more details.

As planned, a portion of Universal Studios Florida will be opening to the public at 7:00 a.m. While select attractions will be open at this time, all additional park experiences will open at 9:00 a.m. Guests who arrive at 7:00 a.m. may have the opportunity to catch a glimpse of the TODAY Show in action while experiencing the park at their leisure. Theme park admission is required for each guest three years and older. Our hearts are with all who were affected by Monday's events.

From what I learned today, the chance of softs happening this week are actually very slim. For some reason, ride ops apparently ran into some unforeseen troubles, and they haven't even been on themselves. I'll let everyone know what happens as I learn more, but expect softs next week, not this.

Oh, and VIP tour guides were given a tour of the queue. That too.
